Those Chast desires, that noble minde of yours, And that chiefe part whence all your honor springs, A grace to entertaine the greatest kings.
"The Arte of English Poesie"
George Puttenham
Perhaps thou dreamest that thou embracest me in thy armes: leave off the darknesse of sleepe and awake thou to receive a penall deprivation of thy sight, lift up thy face, regard thy vengeance and evill fortune, reckon thy miserie; so pleaseth thine eies to a Chast woman, that thou shall have blindnesse to thy companion, and an everlasting remorse of thy miserable conscience.
"The Golden Asse"
Lucius Apuleius
