"For one night I saw Urania in my sleepe appeare unto me, or better to say, my conscience taking the advantage of my bodyes rest, the hatefull enemie to the soules blisse, and in that quiet shewed unto mee, my deerest shepherdesse justly accusing me, and condemning mee. I had no way to escape, if not by this meanes; I rose, I left Dalinea for Urania's fury, whose sweete substance I lost for Dalinea's love, I have now left both, both injur'd, both afflicted by me. Why should I then continue such an affliction to the rarest of women? and a vexation to the worst, as I am unto my unblessed selfe. Assist me, good Father, in my misery, this is truth I have told you, and more then ought to live on earth or I hope can be found againe; wherfore that as all ill is in mee, I desire, nay, covet to end, that the world may be no longer infected with that plague, but as knit in me, that knot may never be unty'd, but end, and conclude with me."
– 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)
