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。
