ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 45, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Stella oft sees the very face of woe

Subject(s): Love; Stars
First Line: Stella oft sees the very face of woe
Last Line: I am not I, pity the tale of me.
Subject(s): Love; Stars
Stella oft sees the very face of woe
Painted in my beclouded stormy face;
But cannot skill to pity my disgrace,
Not though thereof the cause herself she know;
Yet hearing late a fable, which did show
Of lovers never known a grievous case,
Pity thereof gat in her breast such place
That, from that sea derived, tears' springs did flow.
Alas, if fancy drawn by imaged things,
Though false, yet with free scope more grace doth breed
Than servant's wrack, where new doubts honours brings;
Then think, my dear, that you in me do read
Of lover's ruin some sad tragedy:
I am not I, pity the tale of me.
