Everything you need to understand or teach The Nightingale (Poem) by Philip Sidney.
"The Nightingale" is a poem by Sir Philip Sidney. It was first published in the 1591 volume Certain Sonnets, and thus likely composed sometime before 1581, among the other sonnets in this volume. Like several other poems in the collection, "The Nightingale" is set to the tune of the Italian song "Non credo gia che piu infelice amante" (I do not believe there is a more unhappy lover). It retells the myth of Tereus and Philomel, which is most famously recorded in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
