Perissus gone, Urania for that night drave her flock homeward, giving a kind looke unto the rocke as she returnd, promising often to visit it for brave Perissus sake, and to make it her retiring place, there to passe some of her melancholy howres in.  The next morning as soone as light did appeare, or she could see light (which sooner she might doe then any, her eyes making day, before day else was seene) with her flocke she betooke her selfe to the meadow, where she thought to have met some of her companions, but being early, her thought having kept more carefull watch over her eies, thought it selfe growne peremptorie with such authority.  She found none come, wherefore leaving the flocke to the charge of a young Lad of hers, tooke her way towards the rocke, her mind faster going then her feete, busied still, like one holding the Compasse, when he makes a circle, turnes it round in his owne center: so did shee, her thoughts incircled in the ignorance of her being.  

– from The Countesse of Mountgomeries Urania, by the right honourable the Lady Mary Wroath, daughter to the right noble Robert, Earle of Leicester, and neece to the ever famous and renowned Sʳ Phillips Sidney knight, and to ye most excellant Lady Mary Countess of Pembroke, late deceased (London: John Marriott and John Grismand, 1621)
