"I dare not let you. It is her [Chastity] constant custom to forbid me to give permission for a kiss 
to any lover who begs me for one, for he who can attain to a kiss can hardly remain at that point."
[« Mais Chasteté je n'ose Tromper en aucune façon Qui dit toujours en sa leçon Qu'à nul amant baiser 
ne donne, Combien qu'il m'en prie et raisonne, Car baiser qui peut obtenir A peine là peut s'en tenir. »]

"Abdiel — Proud, art thou met? Thy hope was to have reached The height of thy aspiring unopposed, The throne of God unguarded,
and his side Abandoned at the terror of thy power Or potent tongue; fool, not to think how vain Against the omnipotent to rise in arms;
Who out of smallest things could without end Have raised incessant armies to defeat Thy folly; or with solitary hand Reaching beyond
all limit at one blow Unaided could have finished thee, and whelmed Thy legions under darkness; but thou seest All are not of thy train;
there be who faith Prefer, and piety to God, though then To thee not visible, when I alone Seemed in thy world erroneous to dissent 
From all: my sect thou seest, now learn too late How few sometimes may know, when thousands err.
Satan — Whom the grand foe with scornful eye askance Thus answered. Ill for thee, but in wished hour Of my revenge, first sought for thou
return’st From flight, seditious angel, to receive Thy merited reward, the first assay Of this right hand provoked, since first that tongue Inspired
with contradiction durst oppose A third part of the gods, in synod met Their deities to assert, who while they feel Vigour divine within them,
can allow Omnipotence to none. But well thou com’st Before thy fellows, ambitious to win From me some plume, that thy success may
show Destruction to the rest: this pause between (Unanswered lest thou boast) to let thee know; At first I thought that liberty and heaven
To heavenly souls had been all one; but now I see that most through sloth had rather serve, Ministering spirits, trained up in feast and song;
Such hast thou armed, the minstrelsy of heaven, Servility with freedom to contend, As both their deeds compared this day shall prove."
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book VI, 131-170.
