- Assesses Edmund Spenser's quotation of FranT, 764-66, in Britomart's speech in T"he Faerie Queene," Book III, arguing that the Chaucerian material and its original context carry suggestions of the "need for tolerance in social relations" and "[set] a standard for conduct" for much of Spenser's poem.
