This passage or canto from the epic poem "The Faerie Queene" by Edmund Spenser is interesting. What makes it so intriguing is the fact that although it is written in English, many of the words are spelled quite differently. In fact, some of the words were changed altogether. It is interesting to consider how the English language has evolved and how the spelling of many of it's words have changed with it. For example the way queen is written in the play has an "e" at the end. What caused people to drop the "e" at the end of the word?
