the imperfection of human relationships

the opposition of religion and humanism

sincerity in personal relations

choices between friendship and duty

Done

The Faerie Queene

by Edmund Spenser (excerpt)

So well accorded forth they rode together

In friendly sort, that lasted but a while;

And of all old dislikes they made faire weather,

Yet all was forg'd and spred with golden foyle,

That vnder it hidde hate and hollow guyle.

Ne certes can that friendship long endure,

How euer gay and goodly be the style,

That doth ill cause or euill end enure:

For vertue is the band, that bindeth harts most sure.
