- The chariest maid is prodigal enough
If she unmask her beauty to the moon:
Virtue itself scopes not calumnious strokes:
The canker galls the infants of the spring
Too oft before their buttons be disclos'd:
And in the morn and liquid dew of youth
Contagious blastments are most imminent.†Scene 1.3 - be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.
Scene 3.1 *calumny = false accusation
Definitions:
