Oh, it finally clicked what you were talking about with Spenser.
As far as I know, Spenser doesn't use the term Queen of Air and Darkness in his work the Faerie Queene. His Queene Gloriana is all about majesty and glory, and I doubt he would use "darkness" to refer to her. (He did write it as an allegory for Queen Elizabeth after all). I haven't read the whole thing, yet, however, so for all I know you could be right. But I don't think so.
