Astrophil and Stella is a Sonnet sequence written by Sir Philip Sidney, and first published after his death in 1591.
The poem or sonnet about sleep is one of 108 Petrarchian sonnets in a sonnet sequence on the subject of Astrophil's unrequieted (unreturned) love for the married Stella. It is thought they represent Sir Philip Sidney's love for the married Penelope Devereux who was forced to marry someone else. In this particular sonnet Astrophil praises sleep as being the best cure for sorrow or lovesickness. He says he'll give a pillow, quiet room etc for a good sleep and if allowed to sleep will dream of his true love Stella.
Nothing. He wrote several sonnet sequences, including Amoretti, pub. 1595, consisting of 89 sonnets, Visions of the World's Vanitie, pub. 1590, 12 sonnets, Visions of Bellay, same date, 15 sonnets, and Visions of Petrarch, same date, 7 sonnets. There is also Ruines of Rome, pub. 1591, a sequence of 33 sonnets. The Faerie Queene is not a sonnet sequence: its verses are nine lines long.
