      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。
