  1. Sonnet Forms

  2. Edmund Spenser – Sonnet 30 My love is like to ice, and I to fire:How comes it then that this her cold so greatIs not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat?Or how comes it that my exceeding heatIs not allayed by her heart-frozen cold,But that I burn much more in boiling sweat,And feel my flames augmented manifold?What more miraculous thing may be told, That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice,And ice, which is congeal's with senseless cold,Should kindle fire by wonderful device?Such is the power of love in gentle mind,That it can alter all the course of kind.  Identify figurative language, speaker, problem, resolution, and theme.

  3. Journal Prompt • Humanist philosophy rekindled an appreciation of worldly pleasures, a return to the classics, and personal expression. In what ways do you see Humanism reflected in Renaissance literature, specifically poetry (i.e. works by Shakespeare, Elizabeth I, Raleigh, Petrarch, Spenser, More)? • Hint: you might consider themes and allusions/references within individual texts, as well as the forms of expression as a whole.
