Il Penseroso.

Innocence and virgin modesty

Her virtue, and the conscience of her worth,

That would be woo'd, and not unsought be won

Not obvious, not obtrusive, but retired

The more desirable.

Paradise Lost, Book 8.

Lady, thy care is fix'd, and zealously attends

To fill thy odorous lamp with deeds of light.

And hope that reaps not shame.
