Not At First Sight, Nor With A Dribbed Shot by Philip Sidney
The narrator conveys his confession of love and presents his subjugation to it even if it gives him hell.
Astrophel reveals that he didn't fall in love at first sight nor it wasn't just an attraction. It isn't a weak aim at him by Cupid, angel of love.
He admits that love gave wound to his heart and he would suffer till his death. It shows that his love must be deep and true. But he came to know its true worth later in life when it completely conquered his heart.
Initially, he casually liked his beloved upon seeing her. When he loved, he didn't act upon his urge. Reluctantly, he had to bow before it.
Now, he has lost his freedom and he has become just like a Russian slave. He holds no regret to serve love and suffer its tyranny. After falling in love, the intelligence left of him is employed to console him that everything is fine. But he has a feeling that he is digging his own grave.
