Have any of you read Spencer's The Faerie Queen? I read

>The Faerie Queen
>heroic couplet itch

you will be disappointed, anon, it's not written with heroic couplets, it's written with spenserian stanza

if you want heroic couplets read... pale fire

Pope's Homer if the form's really important to you.

if you want to loosen it up a bit, you could read fourteeners too, which brings in Chapman's Homer.

Keats' Lamia is pretty strict, come to think of it. There's a BBC 4 radio play of it too, if the form really isn't important.

But yeah, not Spencer.
