But it was Sir Philip Sydney (1554-1586) who must be credited with starting the great vogue of sonnet writing in which so many poets participated during the last decade of the 16th century.
For Sir Philip Sydney's Astrophel, love lurks in the dark bush, which is Stella's eyes, and from thence shoots the poor poet unawares: he calls his friends to fly the dangerous spot.
Sydney's poems are unified in that, following the now established tradition, the speaker expresses some phase of his feeling in relation to his mistress.

 Defence of Poesie (Ponsonby, 1595)
All of Europe was stunned by the loss, and the body of Philip Sidney was laid to rest with a lavish state funeral at St. Paul's cathedral, London, 16 February 1587 (Kimbrough, unpaginated chronology, Sir Philip Sidney).
In Twelfth Night, which our unfortunate Sir Philip did not live to witness, we have both the refutation of the literalist theory with which he was saddled, and the confirmation of the metaphorical theory he so brilliantly elucidated.
In refutation, we easily conceive the three months of the action, and its movement from seacoast to palace, street, and garden; the work is unified by its being a kind of land voyage of discovery, or rather recovery, of the losses that were sustained on the high seas.

Sir Philip Sydney Jones built "Llandilo House" in 1878 on a large property bounded by The Boulevarde, Albyn Road, Kingsland Road and Wakeford Road and lived there until his death in 1918.
The property was then subdivided and a group of Strathfield residents headed by Rev Wheaton, a Congregational minister, bought the house for a school which was known as Strathfield Grammar School.

Modern historians have commented favorably on the fact that the essentials of the poetic craft did not entirely disappear during the latter part of the Tudor dynasty, but were handed down to amateurs who continued to play a central role in Welsh society.

 The Puritan Eye - Volume 9, Issue 4
Tully takes much pains, and many times not without poetical helps to make us know the force love of our country has in us.
But even in the most excellent determination of goodness, what philosophers counsel can so readily direct a Prince, as the feigned Cirus in Xenophon, or a virtuous man in all fortunes, as Aeneas in Vergil, or a whole commonwealth, as the way of Sir Thomas Moore's Utopia.
I say the way, because where Sir Thomas Moore erred, it was the fault of the man and not of the poet: for that way of patterning a commonwealth, was most absolute though he perchance has not so absolutely performed it.

 Palin's Travels: Read Messages
I was in English class this morning, listening to my teacher give a lecture on the history of literary criticism, when we got to the 1700's and he started listing off names..."Philip Sydney...that is, SIR Philip Sydney".
Now, normally this line has no effect on me, but the unintentional pause was nearly too much for me. However, I did manage to keep the automatic finish, "your lupines", to myself.
That moment where you can just *see* the wheels in his mind turning as he realizes that being Sir Philip Sydney might not be a bad idea after all is *great*.
