Philip Sidney's sonnets in "Astrophel and Stella" are basically in
Petrarchan form, using the scheme ABBA·ABBA CDE·CDE
"Astro" means "stars", "phil" means love, "Stella"
means star; thus "Astrophel and Stella" means He who loves
stars (Philip Sidney) that loves the star Stella, or in short:
Philip Sidney: he who loves Stella.
