ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 37, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My mouth doth water, and my breast doth swell Last Line: Hath no misfortune, but that rich she is. Variant Title(s): "my Mouth Doth Water, And My Breast Doth Swell""; Subject(s): Love; Stars | ||||||||
My mouth doth water, and my breast doth swell, My tongue doth itch, my thoughts in labour be; Listen then, lordings, with good ear to me, For of my life a riddle I must tell. Towards Aurora's court a nymph doth dwell, Rich in all beauties which man's eye can see; Beauties so far from reach of words, that we Abase her praise, saying she doth excel; Rich in the treasure of deserved renown; Rich in the riches of a royal heart; Rich in those gifts that give the eternal crown; Who though most rich in these, and every part Which make the patents of true worldly bliss, Hath no misfortune, but that Rich she is. | 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 |
