Poems by Robert Sidney

• Sonnet 1. You purest stars, whose never-dying fires
• Sonnet 2. The pains which I uncessantly sustain
• Sonnet 3. Beauties born of heavens, my soul’s delight
• Sonnet 4. These purest flames, kindled by beauties rare
• Sonnet 5. Of travails past oft when i thinking am
• Sonnet 6. When rest locks up the treasures of delight
• Sonnet 7. The hardly captain, unused to retire
• Sonnet 8. If that her worth I could as well forget
• Sonnet 9. Oft had I passed the joys and griefs of love
• Sonnet 10. She whom I serve to write did not despise
• Sonnet 11. Though the most perfect style cannot attain
• Sonnet 12. Who gives himself, may ill his words deny
• Sonnet 15. You that haue power to kil, haue will to saue
• Sonnet 17. The endless alchemist, with blinded will
• Sonnet 19. When other creatures all, each in their kind
• Sonnet 22. On unknown shore, with weather hard distressed
