Similies on the same subiect.
AS beautie lookes like flowers in the spring,
So chastitie is like the starres of heauen.
As Violets smell sweet in any sente,
So chastitie shines bright in euery eye.
As water-drops will pearce the hardest flint,
So chast resolue o'recomes the proudest lust.
As glasses broke, can neuer be repaird,
So chastitie once lost, is ne're restor'd.
As lust and libertie doth shorten life,
So chastitie makes endlesse liue the soule.
As champions by their manhood are best knowne,
So is good life by spotlesse chastitie.
