By this time hee was fully armed, which made the sweet Urania admire him; and if more pitie had lodg'd in her then before she had afoorded him, his goodly personage and dolefull lookes so ill agreeing had purchased; for she did pitie him so much, as this had almost brought the end of some kind of pitie, or pitie in some kind love: but she was ordain'd for another, so as this prov'd onely a fine beginning to make her heart tender against the others comming.  Now was he ready to depart, wherefore they came downe from the rock, when being at the bottome they met a young shepherd, whose heart Urania had (although against her will) conquered.  This Lad shee entreated to conduct Perissus to the next towne, which he most willingly consented to, thinking himselfe that day more happy when she vouchsafed to command him; withall she injoyned him not to leave him till he saw him shipt, which hee perform'd, comming againe to her to receive thanks more welcome to him then if a fine new flock had bin bestowed on him. 

– 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)
