ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 28, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: You that with allegory's curious frame
Last Line: Love only reading unto me this art.
Subject(s): Love; Stars
First Line: You that with allegory's curious frame
Last Line: Love only reading unto me this art.
Subject(s): Love; Stars
You that with allegory's curious frame
Of others' children changelings use to make,
With me those pains, for God's sake, do not take;
I list not dig so deep for brazen fame.
When I say 'Stella', I do mean the same
Princess of beauty, for whose only sake
The reins of love I love, though never slake,
And joy therein, though nations count it shame.
I beg no subject to use eloquence,
Nor in hid ways to guide philosophy.
Look at my hands for no such quintessence,
But know that I, in pure simplicity,
Breathe out the flames which burn within my heart,
Love only reading unto me this art.
