                But words came halting forth, wanting Inuentions stay;    

                Inuention, Natures childe, fledde step-dame Studies blowes; 

                And others feet still seemde but strangers in my way.  

               Thus, great with childe to speak, and helplesse in my throwes, 

               Biting my trewand pen, beating myselfe for spite, 

               Fool, said my Muse to me, looke in thy heart, and write.

                                    Sir Philip Sidney, Astrophel and Stella.
