ENGL 2600 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: The Faerie Queene, Belphoebe, Temperate Climate
Document Summary
Guyon is of immodest merth , led into loose desire, Fights with cymochles, whiles his bro- ther burnes in furious fire. Harder to show temperance towards pursuit of pleasure; easier to show temperance to wrathfullness. And all the way, the wanton damzell found. Of which a store-house did with her remaine, For all her words she drownd with laughter vaine, And wanted grace in vtt"ring of the same, That turned all her pleasance to a scoffing game. Phaedria has found entertainment by taking guyon away and off track. And therein sate a ladie fresh and faire, Sometimes she sung, as loud as larke in aire, Sometimes she laught, that nigh her breth was gone, Yet was there not with her else any one, That might to her moue cause of meriment: Matter of merth enough, though there were none. To feede her foolish humour, and vaine iolliment. Referring to phaedria making swell solace to her own self-authority/autonomy.
