PHINEAS FLETCHER English poet (1584 - 1650) Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.       - [Proverbs] Ah, Foole! faint heart faire lady n'ere could win.       - Brittain's Ida (canto V, st. 1) [Wooing] The dying swan, when years her temples pierce,   In music-strains breathes out her life and verse,     And, chanting her own dirge, tides on her wat'ry hearse.       - Purple Island (canto I) [Swans] Beauty when most unclothed is clothed best.       - Sicelides (act II, sc. 4) [Apparel] When needs he must, yet faintly then he praises;   Somewhat the deed, much more the means he raises:     So marreth what he makes, and praising most, dispraises.       - The Purple Island (canto VII, st. 67)         [Praise] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
