1. English
Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.
2. abab bcbc cdcd ee
Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.
3. lasting love
The poet uses phrases like "endure for ever" and "naught but death can sever" to show how long love can last.
4. metaphor
He is comparing the burning oak to the patience it takes when wooing. He does not use like or as which would indicate a simile. Also, the oak is not being given human traits which is required for personification.
5. knot
He compares the depth of love to a knot so tightly tied and tangled that it cannot be undone.
Parallel structure should be used when you connect clauses with a coordinating conjunction such as: for, and, nor, or, but, so, or yet.
Some examples of this include:

Incorrect: Every morning, we make our bed, eating breakfast and feed the dog.
