PAROLLES There’s little can be said in ’t . ’Tis against the 141 rule of nature. To speak on the part of virginity is 142 to accuse your mothers, which is most infallible 143 disobedience. He that hangs himself is a virgin ; 144 virginity murders itself and should be buried in 145 highways out of all sanctified limit as a desperate 146 offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites, 147 much like a cheese, consumes itself to the very 148 paring , and so dies with feeding his own stomach. 149 Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of 150 self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the 151 canon . Keep it not; you cannot choose but lose by 152 ’t. Out with ’t ! Within ten year it will make itself 153 two, which is a goodly increase, and the principal 154 itself not much the worse. Away with ’t! 155
