‎Complaints. Containing sundrie small poemes of the worlds vanitie. VVhereof the next page maketh mention. By Ed. Sp.‎

‎London:: Imprinted by Thomas Orwin for VVilliam Ponsonbie dwelling in Paules Churchyard at the signe of the Bishops head 1591. FIRST EDITION. . Quarto: . 18.5 x 14 cm. 184 p. Collation: A-Z4 lacking final blank Z4 Bound in fine early 20th c. green morocco with gilt turn-ins and the words “Complaints – Edmund Spenser – 1591†tooled in gold on the front board. The same neatly tooled on the spine. A nice copy never washed or pressed with wide outer margins. The edge of the title is a little frayed far from the woodcut there are light damp-stains in signatures D and S and a very faint one in the final signature. A few other trivial stains. It is highly unusual to find Spenser quartos in such condition the majority of the surviving copies having been washed and trimmed. Fortunately the binder of this copy resisted that temptation. The general title has a fine woodcut border with figures of David and Moses. There are separate title pages using the same woodcut border for “The Teares of the Muses†“Prosopopoia. Or Mother Hubberds Tale†and “Mviopotmos. Or The Fate of the Butterflieâ€. There are also a few attractive woodcut head-pieces and initials. The contents are as follows: 1. The Ruines of Time. 2. The Teares of the Muses. 3. Virgils Gnat. 4. Prosopopoia or Mother Hubberds Tale. 5. The Ruines of Rome: by Bellay. 6. Muiopotmos or The Tale of the Butterflie. 7. Visions of the Worlds vanitie. 8. Bellayes visions. 9. Petrarches visions. “Of the nine poems in the volume four are sonnet sequences while the others are in rhyme royal ottava rima sixaines or couplets. Each appears with a separate title page: five are dedicated to prominent courtiers or patrons and four are printed with no dedication. The first ‘The Ruines of Time’ is a lament on the destruction of the Roman city of Verulamium followed by an elegy on the deaths of Robert Dudley the earl of Leicester and Sir Philip Sidney. It is followed by ‘The Teares of the Muses’ a series of nine laments that deplore the corruption of learning and poetry. ‘Virgil’s Gnat’ the tale of a shepherd’s rescue by a humble gnat is an elaborate mock-heroic complaint translated from the pseudo-Virgilian ‘Culex.’ Next ‘Prosopoia or Mother Hubberds Tale’ takes the form of an allegorical beast-fable; its satire generally assumed to have been directed against Lord Burleigh was probably the reason that ‘Complaints’ was recalled shortly after its publication and that the poem was subsequently omitted from the 1611 folio of Spenser’s works see the following item. The volume continues with ‘The Ruines of Rome’ a translation of Joachim Du Bellay’s lament on the corruption of the modern city and ‘Muiopotmos’ a mock-heroic fable of the entrapment of a butterfly by a spider. The three sonnet sequences two of which are translations conclude the volume: ‘Visions of the Worlds Vanitite’ ‘The Visions of Bellay’ and ‘The Visions of Petrarch.’ For a thorough analysis see Katharine A.

‎Colin Clouts come home againe. By Ed. Spencer.‎

‎London:: printed by Thomas Creede for VVilliam Ponsonbie 1595. FIRST EDITION. The colophon reads: "London Printed by T.C. for William Ponsonbie. 1595.". Quarto:. 18 x 13 cm. 80 p. Signatures: A-K4 A wonderful copy bound in fine early 20th c. burgundy morocco by Riviere & Sons. Very nice internally the last leaf carefully washed. With a woodcut printer's device McKerrow 299 and decorative border to the title page and numerous head- and tailpieces throughout. A lovely copy of the first edition. This copy has the second state of sheet C with the reading "worthily" on C1r line 24. With a dedicatory epistle to "The Right worthy and noble Knight Sir Walter Raleigh" dated "from my house of Kilcolman the 27. Of December. 1591." In addition to "Colin Clout" this volume also includes Spenser's "Astrophel: A pastorall Elegie upon the death of the most Noble and valorous Knight Sir Phillip Sidney" dedicated to Sidney's widow who had by then become the Countess of Essex; An untitled poem beginning "Ay me to whom shall I complaine…" often referred to as "The dolefull lay of Corinda"; "The mourning Muse of Thestylis" by Ludowick Bryskett; "A pastorall Aeglogue upon the death of Sir Phillip Sidney Knight" signed L.B. Ludowick Bryskett; "An Elegie or friends passion for his Astrophill" by Matthew Roydon; "An Epitaph upon the right honourable sir Phillip Sidney Knight: Lord governor of Flushing" by Walter Raleigh; "Another of the Same" almost certainly by Sir Edward Dyer.Spenser's "Colin Clout's Come Home Again' a pastoral poem in the tradition of Petrarch was inspired by the poet's visit to England from 1590 to 1591 a journey undertaken at the urging of Walter Raleigh. Spenser wrote the poem dedicated to Raleigh upon his return to Kilcolman castle in Ireland –the 'Home' referred to in the poem's title. Spenser's adoption of an Anglo-Irish identity was publicly expressed in the title poem where the 'home' that Colin refers to rather bitterly in the poem is Ireland not England. At the same time the elegies on Sidney as the English nation's poet imply Spenser's claim to be his successor. The poem has been called Spenser's most biographical and indeed it includes not only the visit from Raleigh to Spenser's home in Ireland in 1589 but also an account of Spenser's sea voyage and his time in England during which he presented the first three books of his 'Faerie Queen' to Queen Elizabeth.The poem fits neatly into a tradition of advice literature that exempts the monarch from the general failings of his or her courtiers and includes strong criticisms of the court as well as attacks on the vanity ignorance and greed of courtiers in general. It is possible that Colin Clout was intended as a criticism of Elizabeth's regime in the 1590s especially if we bear in mind Spenser's own lack of preferment in England and his posthumous criticisms of the queen in 'Two cantos of Mutabilitie' A.
