Make slow pursuit�察�or altogether balk
The prey wherein by nature they delight��
So surfeit´taking Tarquin fares this night��
His taste delicious�察�in digestion souring��
Devours his will�察�that lived by foul devouring。
O�察�deeper sin than bottomless conceit
Can comprehend in still imagination��
Drunken Desire must vomit his receipt��
Ere he can see his own abomination。
While Lust is in his pride�察�no exclamation
Can curb his heat or rein his rash desire��
Till�察�like a jade�察�Self´will himself doth tire。
And then with lank and lean discoloured cheek��
With heavy eye�察�knit brow�察�and strengthless pace��
Feeble Desire�察�all recreant�察�poor and meek��
Like to a bankrupt beggar wails his case��
The flesh being proud�察�Desire doth fight with Grace��
For there it revels�察�and when that decays
The guilty rebel for remission prays。
So fares it with this faultful lord of Rome��
Who this accomplishment so hotly chased��
For now against himself he sounds this doom��
That through the length of times he stands disgraced��
Besides�察�his soul's fair temple is defaced��
To whose weak ruins muster troops of cares��
To ask the spotted princess how she fares。
She says her subjects with foul insurrection
Have battered down her consecrated wall��
And by their mortal fault brought in subjection
Her immortality�察�and made her thrall
To living death and pain perpetual��
Which in her prescience she controlled still��
But her foresight could not forestall their will。
Ev'n in this thought through the dark night he stealeth��
A captive victor that hath lost in gain��
Bearing away the wound that nothing healeth��
The scar that will�察�despite of cure�察�remain��
Leaving his spoil perplexed in greater pain。
She bears the load of lust he left behind��
And he the burden of a guilty mind。
He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence��
She like a wearied lamb lies panting there��
He scowls�察�and hates himself for his offence��
She�察�desperate�察�with her nails her flesh doth tear��
He faintly flies�察�sweating with guilty fear��
She stays�察�exclaiming on the direful night��
He runs�察�and chides his vanished�察�loathed delight。
He thence departs a heavy convertite��
She there remains a hopeless castaway��
He in his speed looks for the morning light��
She prays she never may behold the day。
'For day'�察�quoth she�察�'night's scapes doth open lay��
And my true eyes have never practised how
To cloak offences with a cunning brow。
'They think not but that every eye can see
The same disgrace which they themselves behold��
And therefore would they still in darkness be��
To have their unseen sin remain untold��
For they their guilt with weeping will unfold��
And grave�察�like water that doth eat in steel��
Upon my cheeks what helpless shame I feel。'
Here she exclaims against repose and rest��
And bids her eyes hereafter still be blind。
She wakes her heart by beating on her breast��
And bids it leap from thence�察�where it may find
Some purer chest to close so pure a mind。
Frantic with grief thus breathes she forth her spite
Against the unseen secrecy of night��
'O comfort´killing Night�察�image of hell��
Dim register and notary of shame��
Black stage for tragedies and murders fell��
Vast sin´concealing chaos� �nurse of blame��
Blind muffled bawd� �dark harbour for defame��
Grim cave of death� �whisp'ring conspirator
With close´tongued treason and the ravisher��
'O hateful�察�vaporous and foggy Night��
Since thou art guilty of my cureless crime��
Muster thy mists to meet the eastern light��
Make war against proportioned course of time��
Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb
His wonted height�察�yet ere he go to bed��
Knit poisonous clouds about his golden head。
'With rotten damps ravish the morning air��
Let their exhaled unwholesome breaths make sick
The life of purity�察�the supreme fair��
Ere he arrive his weary noon´tide prick��
And let thy musty vapours march so thick
That in their smoky ranks his smoth'red light
May set at noon and make perpetual night。
'Were Tarquin Night�察�as he is but Night's child��
The silver´shining queen he would distain��
Her twinkling handmaids too�察�by him defiled��
Through Night's black bosom should not peep again��
So should I have co´partners in my pain��
And fellowship in woe doth woe assuage��
As palmers' chat makes short their pilgrimage。
'Where now I have no one to blush with me��
To cross their arms and hang their heads with mine��
To mask their brows and hide their infamy��
But I alone alone sit and pine��
Seasoning the earth with show'rs of silver brine��
Mingling my talk with tears�察�my grief with groans��
Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans。
'O Night�察�thou furnace of foul´reeking smoke��
Let not the jealous Day behold that face
Which underneath thy black all´hiding cloak
Immodestly lies martyred with disgrace��
Keep still possession of thy gloomy place��
That all the faults which in thy reign are made
May likewise be sepulchred in thy shade��
'Make me not object to the tell´tale Day。
The light will show�察�charactered in my brow��
The story of sweet chastity's decay��
The impious breach of holy wedlock vow��
Yea�察�the illiterate�察�that know not how
To cipher what is writ in learned books��
Will quote my loathsome trespass in my looks。
'The nurse�察�to still her child�察�will tell my story��
And fright her crying babe with Tarquin's name��
The orator�察�to deck his oratory��
Will couple my reproach to Tarquin's shame��
Feast´finding minstrels�察�tuning my defame��
Will tie the hearers to attend each line��
How Tarquin wronged me�察�I Collatine
'Let my good name�察�that senseless reputation��
For Collatine's dear love be kept unspotted��
If that be made a theme for disputation��
The branches of another root are rotted��
And undeserved reproach to him allotted
That is as clear from this attaint of mine
As I ere this was pure to Collatine。
'O unseen shame� �invisible disgrace��
O unfelt sore� �crest´wounding�察�private scar��
Reproach is stamped in Collatinus' face��
And Tarquin's eye may read the mot afar��
;How he in peace is wounded�察�not in war。
;Alas�察�how many bear such shameful blows��
Which not themselves�察�but he that gives them knows��
'If�察�Collatine�察�thine honour lay in me��
From me by strong assault it is bereft。
My honey lost�察�and I�察�a drone´like bee��
Have no perfection of my summer left��
But robbed and ransacked by injurious theft。
In thy weak hive a wand'ring wasp hath crept��
And sucked the honey which thy chaste bee kept。
'Yet am I guilty of thy honour's wrack��
Yet for thy honour did I entertain him��
Coming from thee�察�I could not put him back��
For it had been dishonour to disdain him��
Besides�察�of weariness he did complain him��
And talked of virtue�此�O unlooked´for evil��
When virtue is profaned in such a devil��
'Why should the worm intrude the maiden bud��
Or hateful cuckoos hatch in sparrows' nests��
Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud��
Or tyrant folly lurk in gentle breasts��
Or kings be breakers of their own behests��
;But no perfection is so absolute
That some impurity doth not pollute。
'The aged man that coffers up his gold
Is plagued with cramps and gouts and painful fits��
And scarce hath eyes his treasure to behold��
But like still´pining Tantalus he sits��
And useless barns the harvest of his wits��
Having no other pleasure of his gain
But torment that it cannot cure his pain。
'So then he hath it when he cannot use it��
And leaves it to be mast'red by his young��
Who in their pride do presently abuse it。
Their father was too weak�察�and they strong��
To hold their cursed´blessed fortune long。
;The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours
;Even in the moment that we call them ours。
'Unruly blasts wait on the tender spring��
Unwholesome weeds take root with precious flowers��
The adder hisses where the sweet birds sing��
What virtue breeds iniquity devours。
We have no good that we can say is ours
But ill´annexed Opportunity
Or kills his life or else his quality。
'O Opportunity�察�thy guilt is great��
'Tis thou that execut'st the traitor's treason��
Thou sets the wolf where he the lamb may get��
Whoever plots the sin�察�thou point'st the season��
'Tis thou that spurn'st at right�察�at law�察�at reason��
And in thy shady cell�察�where none may spy him��
Sits Sin�察�to seize the souls that wander by him。
'Thou mak'st the vestal violate her oath��
Thou blow'st the fire when temperance is thawed��
Thou smother'st honesty�察�thou murd'rest troth��
Thou foul abettor� �thou notorious bawd��
Thou plantest scandal and displacest laud。
Thou ravisher�察�thou traitor�察�thou false thief��
Thy honey turns to
