You do impeach your modesty too much
To leave the city and commit yourself
Into the hands of one that loves you not,
To trust the opportunity of night
And the ill counsel of a desert place
With the rich worth of your virginity.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Scene 1. Attempting to shake off his unwanted lover Helena, Demetrius uses a thinly veiled threat that he could take advantage of her virginity while she is in the forest with him. She is risking her safety and should have more respect for her virginity, he warns her.
