Quote #4
More sweet and holesome [the Bowre of Bliss], then… Eden selfe, if ought with Eden mote compaire. (II.xii.52)
Eden, the Biblical paradise on Earth, was essentially the best place ever. So, by suggesting that the Bower of Bliss, one of the worst places ever, could be better than Eden means that something is very wrong.
Quote #5
So much her malice did her might surpas,/ That euen th'Almightie selfe [Ate] did maligne,/ Because to man so mercifull he was,/ And vnto all his creatures so benigne (IV.i.30)
Hint: you know you're evil when you start picking fights with God. Ate, the sower of discord, is thus officially an Evil McEvilson.
Quote #6
And euer when [Belphoebe] nigh approcht, the Doue/ Would flit a litle forward, and then stay,/ Till she drew neare, and then againe remoue;/ So tempting her still to pursue the pray,/ And still from her escaping soft away. (IV.viii.11)
Belphoebe and Timias are about to reconcile thanks to this helpful little dove. Incidentally, the dove is also a religious symbol of peace and hope in the Bible.
