An obscure poet "Obscure"???? Edmund Spenser is acknowledged to be one of the four greats of English literature, along with Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton (though less popularly known). That particular passage is from the Dedication of The Faerie Queene, his greatest work. There's lots more of the same out there, plenty by obscure poets and plenty by not so obscure. Feel free to seek them out!

Oops! I just dissed Spenser. Darn.
I guess I’ll have to read the Faerie Queen as penance.

And the Archbishop Of Canterbury is on record as praising his work and saying it was one of the greatest influences on his life?
Get real.
