In medio consistit virtus.

A gallant courting of a game-some maid,
Said, sweet, oh let me kisse your hands and feet
In signe of humblest love! good sir (she said)
Both those for your sweet lips are most unmeet,
“But vertue's in the mid'st, than (vertue) there,
If you will kisse you may, if not forbeare.
