What would be the Top Ten Spenser editions or resources that should be
online?
I have the 1611 and 1679 Works
(http://www.johngeraghty.com/Literature/Texts/Spenser/ ), and think I have a
decent OCR for the concordance.
If anyone has had any luck with OCR and 17th century texts, I'd appreciate
hearing about it.
Thanks for the link.

F or who so list into the heauens looke,
A nd search the courses of the rowling spheares,
S hall find that from the point, where they first tooke
T heir setting forth, in these few thousand yeares
They all are wandred much; that plaine appeares.
I s now hight vertue, and so vs'd of all:
R ight now is wrong, and wrong that was is right,
A s all things else in time are chaunged quight.
N e wonder; for the heauens reuolution
I s wandred farre from where it first was pight,
A nd so doe make contrarie constitution
finierat voces Polyhymnia: dicta probarunt
Clioque et curvae scita Thalia lyrae.

et vox audiri nulla, nisi illa, potest.

Thanks, David. Now where to I apply for a grant to pay for the toner,
paper, and maybe new printer.? Great news, though, and cheaper than
the original. I do recommend going on "addall.com" just to see the
prices of early Spensers and be reminded of what's out there but
unaffordable. Oh to be seriously rich! Anne.
