Who wants a medal?

What does the description of the setting in this passage reflect?

The Faerie Queene (excerpt)

It was a goodly heape for to behould,
And spake the praises of the workmans wit;
But full great pittie, that so faire a mould
Did on so weake foundation euer sit:
For on a sandie hill, that still did flit,
And fall away, it mounted was full hie,
That euery breath of heauen shaked it:
And all the hinder parts, that few could spie,
Were ruinous and old, but painted cunningly.

The answer has to be
deception, power, prosperity or danger.

Answer 1

deception, I think.

Answer 2

Look at the last few verses. It speaks of something old being painted up cunningly. The looks are deceiving.

Answer 3

I think you're right because its mainly talking about appearances and like you said looks are deceiving.

Answer 4

That's what I'd guess.

Answer 5

Good luck.

Answer 6

thank you very much.
