Sonnet 1 by Edmund Spenser and Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare differ greatly in form‚ tone‚ content‚ meaning‚ and persona. Shakespeare begins with a rather unflattering attribute; "My mistress’ are nothing like the sun" while Spenser‚ praises his love by wishing he were a book she was reading. Sonnet 1 by Spenser follows a rhyme scheme of his own devising (ababbcbccdcdee) that combines interwoven thoughts. In this sonnet he praises his wife’s beauty and attempts to flatter her through conveying

Shakespeare constructs a persona

Through reading the poem a couple of times‚ I noticed that his choice of words would
