“A hidden strength
Which if Heavn gave it, may be termd her own:
Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
And like a quiverd Nymph with Arrows keen
May trace huge Forests, and unharbourd Heaths,
Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,”
—John Milton (16081674)
