Of fount or river

SONNET. 
BY SPENSER. 
Sweet is the Rose, but srowes upon a brere; 
Sweet is the Juniper, but sharpe his bough; 
Sweet is the Bclaneines but cache nere $ 
Sweet is the Firbloom, but his branches rough, 
Sweet 18 the Cypress, but his rind is tough, 
Sweet is the Nut, but bitter is his pill ; 
Sweet is the Broome-flowere, but yet sowre 
enough ; 
ae sweet is Moly, but his roote is ill. 
every sweet with sowre is tempred still, {|

t sorts of men loe set but little store. || 
Why then should I account of little paine,
