 Sonnets 28–33 are an exception in that they bear no resemblance to the scripture readings from the days to which they could correspond.Larsen suggests that perhaps Spenser was not at home during the days 19–24 of February and had no access to scriptural resources because most bibles published at this time were not very portable.These sonnets tend to make more blatant and unoriginal use of Petrarchan conceits, and are more conventional and flat than the other poems.
