It's a fragment, of a sentance.
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”
4. “But she most fair, most cold, made him thence take his flight To my close heart, where while some firebrands he did lay,”
5. “He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away.”
Sir Phillip Sydney wrote the sequence of sonnets “Astrophil and Stella” which has been inspired by his relationship with Lady Penelope. It is a sequence of poems which marks the development of Astrophil's love for Stella. He is deeply in love with Stella and describes her beauty, intelligence, and wisdom in the sonnets.
