    Which if Heav’n gave it, may be term’d her own:
    ‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
    She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
    And like a quiver’d Nymph with Arrows keen
    May trace huge Forests, and unharbour’d 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 (1608–1674)

    Along the shore of silver streaming Thames,
    Whose rutty bank, the which his river hems,
    Was painted all with variable flowers,”
