SIDNEY'S ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: CANTO QUARTO by THOMAS CAMPION

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE WHETS THE DULLEST WITS, HIS PLAGUES BE SUCH
Last Line: O LET ME DOTE! SO LOVE BE BENT TO PLEASE.

Love whets the dullest wits, his plagues be such:
But makes the wise by pleasing, dote as much.
So wit is purchased by this dire disease.
O let me dote! so Love be bent to please.
