      He takes it from the rushes where it lies��

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

      As who should say 'This glove to wanton tricks

        Is not inured。 Return again in haste��

        Thou see'st our mistress' ornaments are chaste。'



      But all these poor forbiddings could not stay him��

      He in the worst sense consters their denial��

      The doors�察�the wind�察�the glove�察�that did delay him��

      He takes for accidental things of trial��

      Or as those bars which stop the hourly dial��

        Who with a ling'ring stay his course doth let��

        Till every minute pays the hour his debt。



      'So�察�so��' quoth he�察�'these lets attend the time��

      Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring��

      To add a more rejoicing to the prime��

      And give the sneaped birds more cause to sing。

      Pain pays the income of each precious thing��

        Huge rocks�察�high winds�察�strong pirates�察�shelves and sands

        The merchant fears�察�ere rich at home he lands。'



      Now is he come unto the chamber door

      That shuts him from the heaven of his thought��

      Which with a yielding latch�察�and with no more��

      Hath barred him from the blessed thing he sought。

      So from himself impiety hath wrought��

        That for his prey to pray he doth begin��

        As if the heavens should countenance his sin。



      But in the midst of his unfruitful prayer��

      Having solicited th' eternal power

      That his foul thoughts might compass his fair fair��

      And they would stand auspicious to the hour��

      Even there he starts�察�quoth he 'I must deflower��

        The powers to whom I pray abhor this fact��

        How can they then assist me in the act��



      'Then Love and Fortune be my gods�察�my guide��

      My will is backed with resolution。

      Thoughts are but dreams。till their effects be tried��

      The blackest sin is cleared with absolution��

      Against love's fire fear's frost hath dissolution。

        The eye of heaven is out�察�and misty night

        Covers the shame that follows sweet delight。'



      This said�察�his guilty hand plucked up the latch��

      And with his knee the door he opens wide。

      The dove sleeps fast that this night´owl will catch。

      Thus treason works ere traitors be espied。

      Who sees the lurking serpent steps aside��

        But she�察�sound sleeping�察�fearing no such thing��

        Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting。



      Into the chamber wickedly he stalks

      And gazeth on her yet unstained bed。

      The curtains being close�察�about he walks��

      Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head。

      By their high treason is his heart misled��

        Which gives the watch´word to his hand full soon

        To draw the cloud that hides the silver moon。



      Look as the fair and fiery´pointed sun��

      Rushing from forth a cloud�察�bereaves our sight��

      Even so�察�the curtain drawn�察�his eyes begun

      To wink�察�being blinded with a greater light��

      Whether it is that she reflects so bright

        That dazzleth them�察�or else some shame supposed��

        But blind they are�察�and keep themselves enclosed。



      O�察�had they in that darksome prison died��

      Then had they seen the period of their ill��

      Then Collatine again�察�by Lucrece' side��

      In his clear bed might have reposed still��

      But they must ope�察�this blessed league to kill��

        And holy´thoughted Lucrece to their sight

        Must sell her joy�察�her life�察�her world's delight。



      Her lily hand her rosy cheek lies under��

      Coz'ning the pillow of a lawful kiss��

      Who�察�therefore angry�察�seems to part in sunder��

      Swelling on either side to want his bliss��

      Between whose hills her head entombed is��

        Where�察�like a virtuous monument�察�she lies��

        To be admired of lewd unhallowed eyes。



      Without the bed her other fair hand was��

      On the green coverlet�察�whose perfect white

      Showed like an April daisy on the grass��

      With pearly sweat resembling dew of night。

      Her eyes�察�like marigolds�察�had sheathed their light��

        And canopied in darkness sweetly lay��

        Till they might open to adorn the day。



      Her hair�察�like golden threads�察�played with her breath´

      O modest wantons� �wanton modesty� �

      Showing life's triumph in the map of death��

      And death's dim look in life's mortality��

      Each in her sleep themselves so beautify

        As if between them�察�twain there were no strife��

        But that life lived in death and death in life。



      Her breasts�察�like ivory globes circled with blue��

      A pair of maiden worlds unconquered��

      Save of their lord no bearing yoke they knew��

      And him by oath they truly honoured。

      These worlds in Tarquin new ambition bred��

        Who like a foul usurper went about

        From this fair throne to heave the owner out。



      What could he see but mightily he noted��

      What did he note but strongly he desired��

      What he beheld�察�on that he firmly doted��

      And in his will his wilful eye he tired。

      With more than admiration he admired

        Her azure veins�察�her alabaster skin��

        Her coral lips�察�her snow´white dimpled chin。



      As the grim lion fawneth o'er his prey��

      Sharp hunger by the conquest satisfied��

      So o'er this sleeping soul doth Tarquin stay��

      His rage of lust by gazing qualified��

      Slacked�察�not suppressed�察�for standing by her side��

        His eye�察�which late this mutiny restrains��

        Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins��



      And they�察�like straggling slaves for pillage fighting��

      Obdurate vassals fell exploits effecting��

      In bloody death and ravishment delighting��

      Nor children's tears nor mothers' groans respecting��

      Swell in their pride�察�the onset still expecting。

        Anon his beating heart�察�alarum striking

        Gives the hot charge�察�and bids them do their liking。



      His drumming heart cheers up his burning eye��

      His eye commends the leading to his hand��

      His hand�察�as proud of such a dignity��

      Smoking with pride�察�marched on to make his stand

      On her bare breast�察�the heart of all her land��

        Whose ranks of blue veins as his hand did scale��

        Left their round turrets destitute and pale。



      They�察�must'ring to the quiet cabinet

      Where their dear governess and lady lies��

      Do tell her she is dreadfully beset��

      And fright her with confusion of their cries。

      She�察�much amazed�察�breaks ope her locked´up eyes��

        Who�察�peeping forth this tumult to behold��

        Are by his flaming torch dimmed and controlled。



      Imagine her as one in dead of night

      From forth dull sleep by dreadful fancy waking��

      That thinks she hath beheld some ghastly sprite��

      Whose grim aspect sets every joint a´shaking��

      What terror 'tis� �but she�察�in worser taking��

        From sleep disturbed�察�heedfully doth view

        The sight which makes supposed terror true。



      Wrapped and confounded in a thousand fears��

      Like to a new´killed bird she trembling lies��

      She dares not look�察�yet�察�winking�察�there appears

      Quick´shifting antics�察�ugly in her eyes。

      ;Such shadows are the weak brain's forgeries��

        Who�察�angry that the eyes fly from their lights��

        In darkness daunts them with more dreadful sights。



      His hand that yet remains upon her breast´

      Rude ram�察�to batter such an ivory wall� �

      May feel her heart�察�poor citizen�察�distressed��

      Wounding itself to death�察�rise up and fall��

      Beating her bulk�察�that his hand shakes withal。

        This moves in him more rage and lesser pity��

        To make the breach and enter this sweet city。



      First like a trumpet doth his tongue begin

      To sound a parley to his heartless foe��

      Who o'er the white sheet peers her whiter chin��

      The reason of this rash alarm to know��

      Which he by dumb demeanour seeks to show��

        But she with vehement prayers urgeth still

        Under what colour he commits this ill。



      Thus he replies�此�'The colour in thy face��

      That even for anger makes the lily pale

      And the red rose blush at her own disgrace��

      Shall plead for me and tell my loving tale。

      Under that colour am I come to scale

        Thy never´conquered fort。 The fault is thine��

        For those thine eyes betray thee unto mine。



      'Thus I forestall thee�察�if thou mean to chide��

      Thy beauty hath ensnared thee to this night��

      Where thou with patience must my will abide��

      My will that marks thee for my earth's delight��

      Which I to conquer sought with all my might��

        But as reproof and reason beat it dead��

        By thy bright beauty was it newly bred。



      'I see what crosses my attempt will bring��

      I know what thorns the growing rose defends��

      I think the honey guarded with a sting��

      All this beforehand counsel comprehends。

      But will is deaf and hears no heedful friends��

        Only he hath an eye to gaze on beauty��

        And dotes on what he looks�察�'gainst law or duty。



      'I have debated�察�even in my soul��

      What wrong�察�what shame�察�what sorrow I shall breed��

      But nothing can affection's course control��

      Or stop the headlong fury of his speed。

      I know repentant tears ensue the deed��

        Reproach�察�disdain and deadly enmity��

        Yet strive I to embrace mine infamy。'



      This said�察�he shakes aloft his Roman blade��

      Which�察�like a falcon tow'ring in the skies��

      Coucheth the fowl below with his wings' shade��

      Whose crooked beak threats if he mount he dies。
