All’s Well That Ends Well (Parolles)

Category: Play Role: Parolles From: All's Well That Ends Well

Parolles says

Virginity being blown down, man will quicklier be
blown up: marry, in blowing him down again, with
the breach yourselves made, you lose your city. It
is not politic in the commonwealth of nature to
preserve virginity. Loss of virginity is rational
increase and there was never virgin got till
virginity was first lost. That you were made of is
metal to make virgins. Virginity being once lost
may be ten times found; being ever kept, it is
ever lost: ’tis too cold a companion; away with ‘t!
