      As one of which doth Tarquin lie revolving

      The sundry dangers of his will's obtaining��

      Yet ever to obtain his will resolving��

      Though weak´built hopes persuade him to abstaining��

      Despair to gain doth traffic oft for gaining��

        And when great treasure is the meed proposed��

        Though death be adjunct�察�there's no death supposed。



      Those that much covet are with gain' so fond

      That what they have not�察�that which they possess��

      They scatter and unloose it from their bond��

      And so�察�by hoping more�察�they have but less��

      Or�察�gaining more�察�the profit of excess

        Is but to surfeit�察�and such griefs sustain

        That they prove bankrupt in this poor´rich gain。



      The aim of all is but to nurse the life

      With honour�察�wealth and case�察�in waning age��

      And in this aim there is such thwarting strife

      That one for all or all for one we gage��

      As life for honour in fell battle's rage��

        Honour for wealth�察�and oft that wealth doth cost

        The death of all�察�and all together lost。



      So that in vent'ring ill we leave to be

      The things we are for that which we expect��

      And this ambitious foul infirmity��

      In having much�察�torments us with defect

      Of that we have�察�so then we do neglect

        The thing we have�察�and�察�all for want of wit��

        Make something nothing by augmenting it。



      Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make��

      Pawning his honour to obtain his lust��

      And for himself himself must forsake��

      Then where is truth�察�if there be no self´trust��

      When shall he think to find a stranger just

        When he himself himself confounds�察�betrays

        To sland'rous tongues and wretched hateful days��



      Now stole upon the time the dead of night��

      When heavy sleep had closed up mortal eyes��

      No comfortable star did lend his light��

      No noise but owls' and wolves' death´boding cries��

      Now serves the season that they may surprise

        The silly lambs。 Pure thoughts are dead and still��

        While lust and murder wakes to stain and kill。



      And now this lustful lord�察�leaped from his bed��

      Throwing his mantle rudely o'er his arm��

      Is madly tossed between desire and dread��

      Th' one sweetly flatters�察�th' other feareth harm��

      But honest fear�察�bewitched with lust's foul charm��

        Doth too too oft betake him to retire��

        Beaten away by brain´sick rude desire。



      His falchion on a flint he softly smiteth��

      That from the cold stone sparks of fire do fly��

      Whereat a waxen torch forthwith he lighteth��

      Which must be lode´star to his lustful eye��

      And to the flame thus speaks advisedly��

        'As from this cold flint I enforced this fire��

        So Lucrece must I force to my desire。'



      Here pale with fear he doth premeditate

      The dangers of his loathsome enterprise��

      And in his inward mind he doth debate

      What following sorrow may on this arise��

      Then�察�looking scornfully�察�he doth despise

        His naked armour of still´slaughtered lust��

        And justly thus controls his thoughts unjust��



      'Fair torch�察�burn out thy light�察�and lend it not

      To darken her whose light excelleth thine��

      And die�察�unhallowed thoughts�察�before you blot

      With your uncleanness that which is divine��

      Offer pure incense to so pure a shrine��

        Let fair humanity abhor the deed

        That spots and stains love's modest snow´white weed。



      'O shame to knighthood and to shining arms��

      O foul dishonour to my household's grave��

      O impious act�察�including all foul harms��

      A martial man to be soft fancy's slave��

      True valour still a true respect should have��

        Then my digression is so vile�察�so base��

        That it will live engraven in my face。



      'Yea�察�though I die�察�the scandal will survive��

      And be an eye´sore in my golden coat��

      Some loathsome dash the herald will contrive��

      To cipher me how fondly I did dote��

      That my posterity�察�shamed with the note��

        Shall curse my bones�察�and hold it for no sin

        To wish that I their father had not been。



      'What win I�察�if I gain the thing I seek��

      A dream�察�a breath�察�a froth of fleeting joy´

      Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week��

      Or sells eternity to get a toy��

      For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy��

        Or what fond beggar�察�but to touch the crown��

        Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down'



      'If Collatinus dream of my intent��

      Will he not wake�察�and in a desp'rate rage

      Post hither�察�this vile purpose to prevent�拭�

      This siege that hath engirt his marriage��

      This blur to youth��' this sorrow to the sage��

        This dying virtue�察�this surviving shame��

        Whose crime will bear an ever´during blame。



      'O what excuse can my invention make��

      When thou shalt charge me with so black a deed��

      Will not my tongue be mute�察�my frail joints shake��

      Mine eyes forego their light�察�my false heart bleed��

      The guilt being great�察�the fear doth still exceed��

        And extreme fear can neither fight nor fly��

        But coward´like with trembling terror die。



      'Had Collatinus killed my son or sire��

      Or lain in ambush to betray my life��

      Or were he not my dear friend�察�this desire

      Might have excuse to work upon his wife��

      As in revenge or quittal of such strife��

        But as he is my kinsman�察�my dear friend��

        The shame and fault finds no excuse nor end。



      'Shameful it is´ay�察�if the fact be known��

      Hateful it is´there is no hate in loving��

      I'll beg her love´but she is not her own��

      The worst is but denial and reproving。

      My will is strong�察�past reason's weak removing。´

        Who fears a sentence or an old man's saw

        Shall by a painted cloth be kept in awe。'



      Thus graceless holds he disputation

      'Tween frozen conscience and hot´burning will��

      And with good thoughts makes dispensation��

      Urging the worser sense for vantage still��

      Which in a moment doth confound and kill

        All pure effects�察�and doth so far proceed

        That what is vile shows like a virtuous deed。



      Quoth he�察�'She took me kindly by the hand��

      And gazed for tidings in my eager eyes��

      Fearing some hard news from the warlike band

      Where her beloved Collatinus lies。

      O how her fear did make her colour rise��

        First red as roses that on lawn we lay��

        Then white as lawn�察�the roses took away。



      'And how her hand�察�in my hand being locked��

      Forced it to tremble with her loyal fear��

      Which struck her sad�察�and then it faster rocked

      Until her husband's welfare she did hear��

      Whereat she smiled with so sweet a cheer

        That had Narcissus seen her as she stood

        Self´love had never drowned him in the flood。



      'Why hunt I then for colour or excuses��

      All orators are dumb when beauty pleadeth��

      Poor wretches have remorse in poor abuses��

      Love thrives not in the heart that shadows dreadeth��

      Affection is my captain�察�and he leadeth��

        And when his gaudy banner is displayed��

        The coward fights and will not be dismayed。



      'Then childish fear avaunt� �debating die��

      Respect and reason wait on wrinkled age��

      My heart shall never countermand mine eye��

      Sad pause and deep regard beseems the sage��

      My part is youth�察�and beats these from the stage��

        Desire my pilot is�察�beauty my prize��

        Then who fears sinking where such treasure lies��'



      As corn o'ergrown by weeds�察�so heedful fear

      Is almost choked by unresisted lust。

      Away he steals with open list'ning car��

      Full of foul hope and full of fond mistrust��

      Both which�察�as servitors to the unjust��

        So cross him with their opposite persuasion

        That now he vows a league and now invasion。



      Within his thought her heavenly image sits��

      And in the selfsame seat sits Collatine。

      That eye which looks on her confounds his wits��

      That eye which him beholds�察�as more divine��

      Unto a view so false will not incline��

        But with a pure appeal seeks to the heart��

        Which once corrupted takes the worser part��



      And therein heartens up his servile powers��

      Who�察�flatt'red by their leader's jocund show��

      Stuff up his lust�察�as minutes fill up hours��

      And as their captain�察�so their pride doth grow��

      Paying more slavish tribute than they owe。

        By reprobate desire thus madly led��

        The Roman lord marcheth to Lucrece' bed。



      The locks between her chamber and his will��

      Each one by him enforced�察�retires his ward��

      But�察�as they open�察�they all rate his ill��

      Which drives the creeping thief to some regard。

      The threshold grates the door to have him heard��

        Night´wand'ring weasels shriek to see him there��

        They fright him�察�yet he still pursues his fear。



      As each unwilling portal yields him way��

      Through little vents and crannies of the place

      The wind wars with his torch to make him stay��

      And blows the smoke of it into his face��

      Extinguishing his conduct in this case��

        But his hot heart�察�which fond desire doth scorch��

        Puffs forth another wind that fires the torch��



      And being lighted�察�by the light he spies

      Lucretia's glove�察�wherein her needle sticks��

      He takes it from the rushes where it lies��

      And griping it�察�the needle his finger pricks��
