Tis chastity, my brother, ...

Tis chastity, my brother, chastity; She that has that is clad in complete steel, And, like a quiver\'d nymph with arrows keen, May trace huge forests, and unharbour\'d heaths, Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds; Where, through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, bandite, or mountaineer, Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
