ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 30, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Whether the turkish new moon minded be Last Line: But know not how, for still I think of you. Subject(s): Love; Stars | ||||||||
Whether the Turkish new moon minded be To fill his horns this year on Christian coast; How Pole's right king means, without leave of host, To warm with ill-made fire cold Muscovy; If French can yet three parts in one agree; What now the Dutch in their full diets boast; How Holland hearts, now so good towns be lost, Trust in the pleasing shade of Orange tree; How Ulster likes of that same golden bit Wherewith my father once made it half tame; If in the Scottish court be welt'ring yet; These questions busy wits to me do frame. I, cumbered with good manners, answer do, But know not how, for still I think of you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EPIC STARS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HYMN TO THE STARS by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN ARCADIA: SESTINA by PHILIP SIDNEY |
