The lines in the poem “Astrophil and Stella” which indicates that the poetic speaker is hopelessly in love are:
1. “And pleas’d with our soft peace, stayed here his flying race.”
2. “Where with most ease and warmth he might employ his art:”
3. “Deceiv’d the quaking boy, who thought from so pure light”
