    Well Allusion is the referencing of other texts within your work to create an analogy, or to help your reader better understand your point. Since Sidney is writing about Poetry itself - he is bound to (and does) make frequent reference to the influential works that existed in his world. So the best way to find such allusions and what they mean is to read the text.
    I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...
