  1. They are allegorical descriptions of July and August. Spenser used mythological references (Nemean lion: the "Amphitryonide" is Heracles. His stepfather was Amphitryon).

    Look up this reference, it will make things clearer for you. For July, Spenser stresses the violence of heat, and for August, the notion of plenty.
