  2. WHO WAS SPENSER? • Edmund Spenser lived from 1552-1599 born in London, England. • He enrolled into Pembroke College at 17 years of age • He was married twice and had two children in the duration of his first marriage • Moved to Ireland where he wrote most of his work, and died on his way back to England.

  3. Sonnet 79 • Men call you fair, and you do credit it,For that yourself you daily such do see;But the true fair, that is the gentle witAnd virtuous mind, is much more praised of me.For all the rest, however fair it be,Shall turn to naught and lose that glorious hue;But only that is permanent and freeFrom frail corruption that doth flesh ensue,That is true beauty; that doth argue youTo be divine and born of heavenly seed;Derived from that fair Spirit, from whom all trueAnd perfect beauty did at first proceed:He only fair, and what he fair hath made;All other fair, like flowers, untimely fade.

  4. Sonnet 79 • We took sonnet 79 as the speaker (Spenser) is telling the audience that it is more important to value someone’s personality rather than their looks. His main point is that the body will wither and die, losing its beauty, but someone’s mind and personality will stay with them until the end.
