Template:RQ:Spenser Fowre Hymnes/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edmund Spenser's work Fowre Hymnes (1st edition, 1596). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Poem	First page number
An Hymne in Honour of Love	page 1
An Hymne in Honour of Beautie	page 13
An Hymne of Heavenly Love	page 24
An Hymne of Heavenly Beautie	page 35
Daphnaïda. An Elegie upon the Death of the Noble and Vertuous Douglas Howard, Daughter and Heire of Henry Lord Howard, Viscount Byndon, and Wife of Arthur Gorges Esquier. […] (2nd edition)	page 47

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result	First page number
Dedication	To the Right Honorable and Most Vertuous Ladies, the Ladie Margaret Countesse of Cumberland, and the Ladie Marie Countess of Warwicke	unnumbered page
Epistle	To the Right Honorable and Vertuous Lady Helena Marquesse of North-hampton (the epistle to Daphnaïda)	page 49

As the dedication is unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/fovvrehymnes00spen/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page=8.

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the name of the poem quote from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
