Book 4, Chapter 39

⁠​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠“If, as I have, you also doe, Vertue attired in woman see, And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She;

And if this love, though placed so, From prophane men you hide, Which will no faith on this bestow, Or, if they doe, deride:

Then you have done a braver thing Than all the Worthies did, And a braver thence will spring, Which is, to keep that hid.”—DR. DONNE.
