 With which those Amazons his love still craved,
 To his one love his loyalty he saved.   --Spenser.
 Note:Loyalty  . . . expresses, properly, that fidelity which one owes according to law, and does not necessarily include that attachment to the royal person, which, happily, we in England have been able further to throw into the word.”
