Twice had the glorious Sun run through the Signes,
And with his kindly heat improu'd the Mines,
(As such affirme with certaine hopes that try
The vaine and fruitlesse Art of Alchymie)
Since our Swaine lou'd: and twice had Phœbus bin
In horned Aries taking vp his Inne,
Ere he of Cælia's heart possession won;
And since that time all his intentions done
Nothing to bring her thence. All eyes vpon her
Watchfull, as Vertues are on truest Honour:
Kept on the Ile as carefully of some,
As by the Troians their Palladium.
