The Renaissance

• what really stuck out to me, was when the printing press was starting to become very big at that time. bibles was selling heavily and that the monks wouldn't have to translate the words to the people could just read it already.and another thing that i liked was that once Henry VIII, he had 3 kids and the sons had to be crowned first because of the laws at the time. after the sons death and Mary's death, Elizabeth became queen and never gotten married. Elizabeth had written some of Shakespeare's plays,that was very interesting to me.

1. the difference of them is that both of them are translated differently and that Spencer grammar is very difficult to read and Shakespeare are somewhat easy to read . and i prefer Shakespeare's poem, because he is good writer and he just knows exactly what to say.

2. The first poem Shakespeare's Stating:

• that he love a girl but he is not going to compare her to summer's day, because she is more lovely and more calm.
• the winds blow the flowers away in may and that summer is on it s way but its not going to stay here long.
• in his second line he is talking about when it is so hot outside, the sun beams on earth.
• and a man block the sun from beaming on earth with complection.
• beauty has changed nature.
• the conclusion is that beauty will never die in this poem, because humans in time will read his work and while there are reading it, it will live forever.

The Second poem Edmund spencer stated:

• that he is in love with a girl and that his love for her is fire and her love for him is ice. and the more he tells her how he feels she get colder and he get hotter, the more she dont like him.
• he tires to show her that he love her but she doesnt care that he loves her and he is getting very upset and frustrated,because he wants this girl so bad.and he is asking himself why is her heart cold and his hot.
• to him its not making any since to him for why his heart for her is getting hotter and hers getting very cold by the min.
• that his love for her is never going away and that he is going to keep loving her with this poem until she answers him.

3.
A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted (A)

Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion; (B)

A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted (A)

With shifting change, as is false women's fashion; (B)

An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,(C)

Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;(D)

A man in hue, all hues in his controlling,(C)

Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.(D)

And for a woman wert thou first created, (E)

Till Nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,(F)

And by addition me of thee defeated,(E)

By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.(F)

But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure,(G)

Mine be thy love, and thy love's use their treasure.(G)

Shakespeare's poem:

• he is talking about a boy that he is in love with and that nature had painted his face.and that the man heart is gentle and he is giving him a complement on how his heart doesn't change.and that he is not like other woman.
• and that his face that nature has painted shows that when he looks at somebody he golden or make things look pretty.and nature has falling in love with him and that he will defeat nature for that mans love.and the man loves Shakespeare. but the man was sent on earth for woman's treasure.

Edmund Spencer poem:

Comming to kisse her lyps (such grace I found)

Me seemd I smelt a gardin of sweet flowres

That dainty odours from them three around

For damzels fit to decke their lovers bowres

Her lips did smell lyke unto gillyflowers

Her ruddy cheeks lyke unto roses red;

Her snowy browes lyke budded bellamoures,

Her lovely eyes lyke pincks but newly spred,

Her goodly bosome lyke a strawberrry bed,

Her neck lyke to a bounch of cullambynes;

Her brest lyke lillyes ere theyr leaves be shed,

Her nipples lyke yong blossomd jessemynes.

Such fragrant flowres doe give most odorous smell,

But her sweet odour did them all excell.

• he is say ing that is in love with a girl and that when he kisses her lips, her lips smell like gilly flowers. and that the flower smell on her brings him joy and more love he has for her.
• he is also talking about how her face and beauty looks like flowers and smell like flowers and that her eyes is calling him over to her .
• he talking about how he loves to lay in her and smell strawberry and there love making bring him joy to his heart.
• he bascially saying that her smell period brings love to his heart.
