Do you recall the famous sonnet sequence of Spenser drawing inspiration from Petrarch ? ( MEG 101 ) ( STUDY OF JOHN DONNE )

Yes, Spenser's sonnet sequence is called Amoretti, and it consists of 89 sonnets that trace the poet's courtship and eventual marriage to his wife Elizabeth Boyle. The Amoretti draws heavily from Petrarchan conventions, such as the use of blazon to describe the beauty of the beloved and the lover's agonies and ecstasies in love. However, Spenser also departs from Petrarchan conventions by introducing Christian religious themes and allegories, and by infusing a sense of personal, emotional intensity into his poetry.
