Rewrite this excerpt from Sidney's Sonnet 16 in your own words.

And, Love, I thought that I was full of thee;

But finding not those restless flames in me,

Which others said did make their souls to pine,

I thought those babes of some pin's hurt did whine,

I thought I was in love but I was wrong. Others felt bad, but love hurts me.

Explanation: And, Love, I thought that I was full of thee; she thought she was in love.

But finding not those restless flames in me, But she found out she was wrong.

Which others said did make their souls to pine, Others said that they were upset about it

I thought those babes of some pin's hurt did whine but they all hurt her

I thought I had experienced love

I didn't feel the strong passion that others described and that pained them to their souls

I thought they were just overly sensitive to a small source of pain

(This is just the basic translation of the lines, you can re-write it from this is you didn't understand the translation of meaning)
