I happily and admiringly second Dot's motion.

My humble suggestion is that Andrew's verses should be posted on the
Spenser
Society homepage--not least, to remind new Spenser scholars (e.g. our
graduate students) to consult the SpE articles, and consult them
again, and
yet again. Long may the SpE wave!

It is a praise to praise when thou art praised, O SpE!

Verses composed upon The Spenser Encyclopedia, by A. C. Hamilton
Hail, hallowed lectionary! sacred Tome!
From which we lesson at appointed hours
Upon the arcane mysteries of our Poem,
And fresh our own, and quicken other powers!
A pillar Petrarch had, where Wyatt leant, Trajan and Nelson one
apiece --
but see, Great generals single columns must content When every page of
Hamilton has three!
The English church was built on thirty-nine, But seven articles have
made a
nation; Our book, more articled, is more divine, A new America of
education!
Leave Cortez to surmising -- this, my rhyme! -- Not just for
nineteen-ninety, but all time.
With the affectionate gratitude, Bert, of the true encyclopedia junkie,
az
