Modest.

Whose Cheeks blush, As if modesty it self lay there wi••hin a bed of corall, Bright beams of beauty streamed from her eye, And in her cheek sat maiden modesty.

A far finer man than he thinks on, that confutes his commenders, giving reasons to think they are mistaken, and is angry if they do not believe him, a bawdy jest shall more shame him than a bastard another, and if you take him by his look, he is guilty.

Modesty, that cumbersome familiar of woman-kind. Her motion blusht at it self.

When dishonesty comes near her ear, wonder stops it out, and saves vertue the labour.
