Peele’s use of Penelope’s last name mirrors Philip Sidney’s identification of his Stella as Penelope. In sonnet 37, Sidney describes Stella:

My mouth doth water and my breast doth swell,

My tongue doth itch, my thoughts in labour be:

Listen, then, lordings, with good ear to me,

For of life I must a riddle tell.

Toward Aurora’s Court a nymph doth dwell,

Rich in all beauties which man’s eye can see,

Beauties so far from reach of words that we

Abuse her praise saying she doth excel;

Rich in the treasure of deserved renown,

Rich in the riches of a royal heart,

Rich in those gifts which give the eternal crown;

Who though most rich in these and every part

Which make the patents of true worldly bliss,

Hath no misfortune but that Rich she is.26
