Summary
This quote suggests that both poetry and chastity, when taken to an extreme, can become excessive or overly rigid. Just as an excessive focus on chastity can restrict natural desires and hinder personal growth, an excessive emphasis on poetic expression may result in forced or artificial verses that lack genuine emotion or artistic integrity. It implies that there needs to be a balance and moderation in both poetry and chastity to prevent them from becoming hindrances rather than enriching aspects of life.
