Hey! I've read what subsists of both, and the Benjamin skeleton's the greater tragedy--
In a way, like Don Juan opening the closet to have the nude Fitz-Fulke fully revealed to him in Byron's unfinished epic, setting the Blatant Beast loose upon Europe and the world is almost prophetic in its brilliance AS a conclusion for the FQ. True, the Mutabilitie Cantos are among Spenser's finest, and were intended to be incorporated, etc., but all things considered we have enough Spenser, but not near enough Benjamin. His death like that of Wilfrid Owen earlier was a mammoth blow to Western letters.
