Beautiful image of a women entangled in a Rose bush with thorns and baby Angels decorating the Art Nouveau decorative borders - a lovely period illustration by A Bauerle, illustrating "Amoretti: Sonnet 26" by Spenser
“Sweet is the rose, but growes upon a brere;Sweet is the iunipeer; but sharpe his bough;Sweet is the eglantine, but pricketh nere;Sweet is the firbloome, but his braunches rough;Sweet is the cypresse, but his rynd is rough;Sweet is the nut, but bitter is his pill;Sweet is the broome-flowre, but yet sowre enough;And sweet is moly, but his root is ill.So every sweet with soure is tempred still,That maketh it be coveted the more:For easie things, that may be got at will,Most sorts of men doe set but little store.Why then should I accompt of little paine,That endlesse pleasure shall unto me gaine!”
