  • Vain-glorious man, when fluttering wind does blow
    In his light wing's, is lifted up to sky;
    The scorn of-knighthood and true chivalry.
    To think, without desert of gentle deed
    And noble worth, to be advanced high,
    Such praise is shame, but honour, virtue's meed,
    Doth bear the fairest flower in honourable seed.

    Edmund Spenser (1965). “Books I and II of the Faerie queene: the mutability cantos, and selections from the minor poetry”
