The Faerie Queene

By Edmund Spenser

Sith thou misdeem’st so much of things in sight? What though the sea with waves continuall Does eate the earth, it is nor more at all: Nor is the earth the lesse, or loseth ought, For whatsoever from one place doth fall, Is with the tide unto an other brought: For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.
