Fretting grief the enemy of life.

Edmund Spenser
Grief, Enemy, Fretting
1590 The Faerie Queen, bk.1, canto 4, stanza 35.

Full many mischiefs follow cruel wrath; Abhorred bloodshed and tumultuous strife Unmanly murder and unthrifty scath, Bitter despite, with rancor's rusty knife; And fretting grief the enemy of life; All these and many evils more, haunt ire.

Edmund Spenser
Grief, Anger, Wrath
Edmund Spenser (1965). “Books I and II of the Faerie queene: the mutability cantos, and selections from the minor poetry”

He oft finds med'cine, who his griefe imparts; But double griefs afflict concealing harts, As raging flames who striveth to supresse.
