Urania then looked up, hearing humane voices, which she so little expected, as onely death was that she looked for: but then perceived she two young men, whose age might bee judged to bee some seventeene yeares; faces of that sweetnesse, as Venus love could but compare with them, their haire which never had been cut, hung long, yet longer much it must have been, had not the daintie naturall curling somewhat shortned it, which as the wind mov'd, the curles so pretily plaid, as the Sunne-beames in the water; their apparell Goates skinnes cut into no fashion, but made fast about them in that sort, as one might see by their sight they were wild; yet that wildness was govern'd by modesty, their skinne most barre, as armes and legs, and one shoulder, with part of their thighes; but so white was their skinne, as seem'd the Sunne in love with it, would not hurt, nor the bushes so much as scratch; on their feete they had a kind of shooes, which came up to the anckle.  Thus they were before the Prime of Shepherdesses, who comming to them, and saluting them, they stept back in wonder to see that beautie, which yet in the masculine they came nerre to . . .

– 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)
