ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 104, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Envious wits, what hath been mine offence Last Line: Do stella love. Fools, who doth it deny? Subject(s): Love; Stars | ||||||||
Envious wits, what hath been mine offence, That with such poisonous care my looks you mark, That to each word, nay, sigh, of mine you hark, As grudging me my sorrow's eloquence? Ah, is it not enough, that I am thence, Thence, so far thence, that scarcely any spark Of comfort dare come to this dungeon dark, Where rigorous exile locks up all my sense? But if I by a happy window pass; If I but stars upon my armour bear; Sick, thirsty, glad, though but of empty glass; Your moral notes straight my hid meaning tear From out my ribs, and puffing prove that I Do Stella love.
