Answer 2

The Nightingale

Philip Sidney poem

Speaker called Philomela's complaints "womanlike" because of her complaints.The speaker thought women complaints too much.

Summary of the poem:

• Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophel and Stella trilogy includes "The Nightingale."

• This poem, like many others in Elizabethan literature, is about a speaker's heartbreak.

• It contrasts a lovelorn person's secret grief, which is stirred by the bird's lovely yet mournful song.

• In contrast to the mythological anguish of Philomela, who was turned into a nightingale by Olympian Gods, he seeks to demonstrate there is more just cause to cry.

• Sidney confesses Philomela was in a lot of pain.

• However, it can now sing the sweetest songs in the month of spring.

• In the spring, he is pierced by the "thorn" of love, which represents vitality and rejuvenation.
