The Renegado

Remov'd from fair Urania's eyes
Into a village far away:
Fond Astrophil began to say,
Thy charms, Urania, I despise;
Go bid some other shepherd for thee die,
That never understood thy tyranny.

Return'd at length the amorous swain,
Soon as he saw his deity,
Ador'd again, and bow'd his knee,
Became her slave, and wore her chain.
The Needle thus that motionless did lie,
Trembles, and moves, when the lov'd Loadstone's nigh.
