  2. Sonnet 30 • Part of a sonnet sequence called Amoretti (1595) • Translated roughly as “intimate little tokens of love” • Shows progression that simulates the ritual and emotions in a courtship • Sonnet 30 reflects on how the speaker’s beloved turns colder and colder as his love heats up. • He speculates that love can be as surprising as his love’s apparent ability to break the rules of nature for fire and ice.

  3. Graphic Organizer

  4. Sonnet 75 • The speaker seeks to immortalize his beloved. • Although his beloved argues that she is only mortal and will disappear, Spenser chooses to believe that his poem will make her immortal.

  5. Graphic Organizer

  6. Writing a Sonnet • Bridge the gap between Sonnet 30 and Sonnet 75. Think of the emotions expressed in each sonnet and try to express in your sonnet the emotions that the speaker would feel at a point in time between the two. • You may work with a partner • Follow the Spenserian format • If you have trouble starting your sonnet, begin with “Each day I see your face within my mind”
