ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 67, by PHILIP SIDNEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Hope, art thou true, or dost thou flatter me? Last Line: Rather than by more truth to get more pain. Subject(s): Love; Stars | ||||||||
Hope, art thou true, or dost thou flatter me? Doth Stella now begin with piteous eye The ruins of her conquest to espy; Will she take time, before all wracked be? Her eyes' speech is translated thus by thee: But fail'st thou not, in phrase so heavenly-high? Look on again, the fair text better try; What blushing notes dost thou in margin see? What sighs stol'n out, or killed before full born? Hast thou found such, and such-like arguments? Or art thou else to comfort me forsworn? Well, how so thou interpret the contents, I am resolved thy error to maintain, Rather than by more truth to get more pain. | 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 |
