Be Not Too Bold


And as she looked about, she did behold,
How over that same door was likewise writ,
Be bold, be bold, and everywhere Be bold,
That much she mused, yet could not construe it
By any riddling skill, or common wit.
At last she spied at that same room's upper end,
Another iron door, on which was writ,
Be not too bold.
--Edmund Spenser (from "The Faery Queen")
