Philip Sidney - Sonnet 60: When My Good Angel Guides Me
Work rating: Low

When my good angel guides me to the place, 
Where all my good I do in Stella see, 
That heav`n of joys throws only down on me 
Thunder`d disdains and lightnings of disgrace: 

But when the rugg`st step of Fortune`s race 
Makes me fall from her sight, then sweetly she 
With words, wherein the Muses` treasures be, 
Shows love and pity to my absent case. 

Now I, wit-beaten long by hardest Fate, 
So dull am, that I cannot look into 
The ground of this fierce Love and lovely hate: 

Then some good body tell me how I do, 
Whose presence absence, absence presence is; 
Blist in my curse, and cursed in my bliss.
