Examples likewise on the same.
THe Spartane virgins rather chose to die,
Than loose the honour of pure chastitie.
Nic••nor moou'd a Thebane maid to lust,
Which to preuent, she gladly slue her selfe.

Lucrece once rifled of her chastitie,
Imagin'd following life, but infamie.
Diripen••••na, by her fathers hands,
Was done to death to saue her chastitie.
Va••ro did hold the man religious,
That made a conscience of his chastitie.
Qu••••t••l••an saith, I hat heauens chiefest gift
Bestowed on man, is blessed chastitie.
