observes that "very few and very weary are those who are in at the death of the Blatant Beast." The reviewer himself, no doubt one of the few, was also one of the weary; for the blatant beast is not killed, and the very last verse extant of the poem shows us that Spenser kept him alive for good reasons of his own.
