“No Duessas Allowed” Embroidered Patch

Description

“No Duessas Allowed!” No one wants to be a Duessa–or be taken in by one! If you have read Edmund Spencer’s The Faerie Queene, you remember the false one, Duessa, who tricks the Redcrosse Knight by cloaking herself in disguise and pretending to be what she is not. Don’t be a Duessa! Be True, through and through!

What man so wise, what earthly wit so ware,
   As to discry the crafty cunning traine,
   By which deceipt doth maske in visour faire,
   And cast her colours dyed deepe in graine,
   To seeme like Truth, whose shape she well can faine,
   And fitting gestures to her purpose frame;
   The guiltlesse man with guile to entertaine?
   Great maistresse of her art was that false Dame,
The false Duessa, cloked with Fiedessaes name.
–The Faerie Queene, Book I, Canto VII, by Edmund Spenser
