Wouldst thou approve thy constancy, approve

First thy obedience: th’ other who can know,

Not seeing thee attempted, who attest?

But if thou think, trial unsought may find

Us both securer that thus warned thou seem’st,

Go, for thy stay not free absents thee more,

Go, in thy native innocence, rely

On what thou hast of virtue, summon all,

For God towards thee hath done his part; do thine.

Milton.
