Abstract: Some time in 1582, Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophil discovers a painful truth. While he weighs his thoughts in 'sense's balance,' he cannot, nor indeed does he, desire to see the skies 'which inwarde sunne to Heroicke minde displaies.' Seeing his beloved Stella in flesh and blood, neglecting the inward sunne, Astrophil gestures towards physicality: Vertue's great beautie in that face I prove And find th'effect, for I do burne in love.
