3 quotes

Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.

Romeo and Juliet (1597)

Often, to our comfort, shall we find
The sharded beetle in a safer hold
Than is the full-wing'd eagle.

Cymbeline (1610)

Can it be
That modesty may more betray our sense
Than woman's lightness? Having waste ground enough,
Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary
And pitch our evils there?

Measure for Measure (1603)
