Veronica,
I know the poem is a huge conceit, using a compass to stand for the speaker and his beloved and how his beloved's love make's him stable and whole: "Thy firmness makes my circle just,/And makes me end where I begun." There love is also compared to Gold, and malleability (when they are separated, their love does not break, it only "expands" or "stretches").
I don't know if that helps any, but good luck.

On a pessimistic note, I think this poem sounds a lot like a man's excuse to go gallavanting while his wife/lover stays home.

No, that would have been entitled A Valedition: Forbidding Sauce for the Goose.
