'Edmund Spencer compared to Shakespeare Essay\r'

'Sonnet 1 by Edmund Spenser and Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare disagree greatly in variety show, tone, content, meaning, and persona. Shakespeare begins with a rather uncomplimentary attribute; â€Å"My mistress’ are nonhing uniform the sun” while Spenser, praises his love by deprivation he were a password she was reading.\r\nSonnet 1 by Spenser follows a poesy scheme of his deliver devising (ababbcbccdcdee) that combines interwoven thoughts. In this sonnet he praises his wife’s beauty and attempts to flatter her by conveying the thought that if he could just devote her touch or even a regard he would rather be a book than what he is now. The tone is that sappy type that most make s one sick. His talent is consumed in a effort to win over individual that he is already married to. His words sound as if they deal a sick desperation in them because something is wrong within the relationship.\r\nOn the former(a) hand Sonnet 130 by Shakespeare has a point to it. It contains the message that one cannot examine by looks alone but on what the person is standardized on the inside. Shakespeare does not praise the fair sex’s beauty or her fair voice or her soft touch but at the finis he says that his love is rare and he would not get rid of it for any reason.\r\nSpenser’s sonnets ache intertwined messages that follow his rhyme scheme (ababbcbccdcdee) while Shakespeare uses tether quatrains and a couplet which is usually the â€Å"zinger” turning the livelong sonnet around and changing the meaning. Spenser does not do this however, his thought patter seems to follow one and solely one line of thought’ to praise the woman that he loves and naught else.\r\nShakespeare’s tone seems to be rather sarcastic until the couplet at the supplant of his sonnet when he explains that he would rather have her than the most fair woman in the world. It is on the same lines as â€Å"Don’t judge a boo k by its color”. On the other hand Spenser believes that his wife is the most beautiful being in the universe and he relates that he would do anything just to have her look at him or his book of sonnets which he wrote for her.\r\nShakespeare breaks his own form while Spenser adheres to a strict form and rhyme scheme.\r\n'
