ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 106, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet's Biography
First Line: O absent presence! Stella is not here
Last Line: Merry with him, and not think of his woe.
Subject(s): Love; Stars
First Line: O absent presence! Stella is not here
Last Line: Merry with him, and not think of his woe.
Subject(s): Love; Stars
O absent presence, Stella is not here;
False flattering hope, that with so fair a face
Bare me in hand, that in this orphan place
Stella, I say my Stella, should appear.
What say'st thou now? Where is that dainty cheer
Thou told'st mine eyes should help their famished case?
But thou art gone, now that self-felt disgrace
Doth make me most to wish thy comfort near.
But here I do store of fair ladies meet,
Who may with charm of conversation sweet
Make in my heavy mould new thoughts to grow:
Sure they prevail as much with me, as he
That bade his friend, but then new maimed, to be
Merry with him, and not think of his woe.
