Edmund Spenser

"A Sonnet from a MS. in the British Museum, supposed to be written by Spencer." "When Venus did desend from heven above" (3.72-73). Five six-line stanzas, iambic pentamter, ababcc. I cannot find the poem listed in Samuel Ayscough's catalogue of manuscripts in the British Museum (1782), where, since the poem is in the January 1783 EM, I should expect it to be. Not in the Oxford Spenser.
