      The well´tuned warble of her nightly sorrow��

      And solemn night with slow sad gait descended

      To ugly hell�察�when lo�察�the blushing morrow

      Lends light to all fair eyes that light will borrow��

        But cloudy Lucrece shames herself to see��

        And therefore still in night would cloist'red be。



      Revealing day through every cranny spies��

      And seems to point her out where she sits weeping��

      To whom she sobbing speaks�此�'O eye of eyes��

      Why pry'st thou through my window�拭�leave thy peeping��

      Mock with thy tickling beams eyes that are sleeping��

        Brand not my forehead with thy piercing light��

        For day hath nought to do what's done by night。'



      Thus cavils she with every thing she sees。

      True grief is fond and testy as a child��

      Who wayward once�察�his mood with nought agrees。

      Old woes�察�not infant sorrows�察�bear them mild��

      Continuance tames the one�察�the other wild��

        Like an unpractised swimmer plunging still

        With too much labour drowns for want of skill。



      So she�察�deep´drenched in a sea of care��

      Holds disputation with each thing she views��

      And to herself all sorrow doth compare��

      No object but her passion's strength renews��

      And as one shifts�察�another straight ensues。

        Sometime her grief is dumb and hath no words��

        Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords。



      The little birds that tune their morning's joy

      Make her moans mad with their sweet melody��

      ;For mirth doth search the bottom of annoy��

      ;Sad souls are slain in merry company��

      ;Grief best is pleased with grief's society

        True sorrow then is feelingly sufficed

        When with like semblance it is sympathized。



      ;'Tis double death to drown in ken of shore��

      ;He ten times pines that pines beholding food��

      ;To see the salve doth make the wound ache more��

      ;Great grief grieves most at that would do it good��

      ;Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood��

        Who�察�being stopped�察�the bounding banks o'erflows��

        Grief dallied with nor law nor limit knows。



      'You mocking birds��' quoth she�察�your tunes entomb

      Within your hollow´swelling feathered breasts��

      And in my hearing be you mute and dumb。

      My restless discord loves no stops nor rests��

      ;A woeful hostess brooks not merry guests。

        Relish your nimble notes to pleasing ears��

        ;Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears。



      'Come�察�Philomel�察�that sing'st of ravishment��

      Make thy sad grove in my dishevelled hair。

      As the dank earth weeps at thy languishment��

      So I at each sad strain will strain a tear��

      And with deep groans the diapason bear��

        For burden´wise I'll hum on Tarquin still��

        While thou on Tereus descants better skill。



      'And whiles against a thorn thou bear'st thy part

      To keep thy sharp woes waking�察�wretched I��

      To imitate thee well�察�against my heart

      Will fix a sharp knife to affright mine eye��

      Who�察�if it wink�察�shall thereon fall and die。

        These means�察�as frets upon an instrument��

        Shall tune our heart´strings to true languishment。



      'And for�察�poor bird�察�thou sing'st not in the day��

      As shaming any eye should thee behold��

      Some dark deep desert�察�seated from the way��

      That knows not parching heat nor freezing cold��

      Will we find out�察�and there we will unfold

        To creatures stern sad tunes�察�to change their kinds。

        Since men prove beasts�察�let beasts bear gentle minds。'



      As the poor frighted deer�察�that stands at gaze��

      Wildly determining which way to fly��

      Or one encompassed with a winding maze

      That cannot tread the way out readily��

      So with herself is she in mutiny��

        To live or die which of the twain were better��

        When life is shamed and death reproach's debtor。



      'To kill myself��' quoth she�察�'alack�察�what were it��

      But with my body my poor soul's pollution��

      They that lose half with greater patience bear it

      Than they whose whole is swallowed in confusion。

      That mother tries a merciless conclusion

        Who�察�having two sweet babes�察�when death takes one��

        Will slay the other and be nurse to none。



      'My body or my soul�察�which was the dearer��

      When the one pure�察�the other made divine��

      Whose love of either to myself was nearer��

      When both were kept for heaven and Collatine��

      Ay me� �the bark pilled from the lofty pine��

        His leaves will wither and his sap decay��

        So must my soul�察�her bark being pilled away。



      'Her house is sacked�察�her quiet interrupted��

      Her mansion battered by the enemy��

      Her sacred temple spotted�察�spoiled�察�corrupted��

      Grossly engirt with daring infamy��

      Then let it not be called impiety

        If in this blemished fort I make some hole

        Through which I may convey this troubled soul。



      'Yet die I will not till my Collatine

      Have heard the cause of my untimely death��

      That he may vow�察�in that sad hour of mine��

      Revenge on him that made me stop my breath。

      My stained blood to Tarquin I'll bequeath��

        Which by him tainted shall for him be spent��

        And as his due writ in my testament。



      'My honour I'll bequeath unto the knife

      That wounds my body so dishonoured。

      'Tis honour to deprive dishonoured life��

      The one will live�察�the other being dead。

      So of shame's ashes shall my fame be bred��

        For in my death I murder shameful scorn。

        My shame so dead�察�mine honour is new born。



      'Dear lord of that dear jewel I have lost��

      What legacy shall I bequeath to thee��

      My resolution�察�love�察�shall be thy boast��

      By whose example thou revenged mayst be。

      How Tarquin must be used�察�read it in me��

        Myself�察�thy friend�察�will kill myself�察�thy foe��

        And�察�for my sake�察�serve thou false Tarquin so。



      'This brief abridgement of my will I make��

      My soul and body to the skies and ground��

      My resolution�察�husband�察�do thou take��

      Mine honour be the knife's that makes my wound��

      My shame be his that did my fame confound��

        And all my fame that lives disbursed be

        To those that live and think no shame of me。



      'Thou�察�Collatine�察�shalt oversee this will��

      How was I overseen that thou shalt see it��

      My blood shall wash the slander of mine ill��

      My life's foul deed�察�my life's fair end shall free it。

      Faint not�察�faint heart�察�but stoutly say ;So be it;。

        Yield to my hand�察�my hand shall conquer thee��

        Thou dead�察�both die and both shall victors be。'



      This plot of death when sadly she had laid��

      And wiped the brinish pearl from her bright eyes��

      With untuned tongue she hoarsely calls her maid��

      Whose swift obedience to her mistress hies��

      ;For fleet´winged duty with thought's feathers flies。

        Poor Lucrece' cheeks unto her maid seem so

        As winter meads when sun doth melt their snow。



      Her mistress she doth give demure good´morrow

      With soft slow tongue�察�true mark of modesty��

      And sorts a sad look to her lady's sorrow��

      For why her face wore sorrow's livery��

      But durst not ask of her audaciously

        Why her two suns were cloud´eclipsed so��

        Nor why her fair cheeks over´washed with woe。



      But as the earth doth weep�察�the sun being set��

      Each flower moist'ned like a melting eye��

      Even so the maid with swelling drops 'gan wet

      Her circled eyne�察�enforced by sympathy

      Of those fair suns set in her mistress' sky��

        Who in a salt´waved ocean quench their light��

        Which makes the maid weep like the dewy night。



      A pretty while these pretty creatures stand��

      Like ivory conduits coral cisterns filling。

      One justly weeps�察�the other takes in hand

      No cause but company of her drops spilling��

      Their gentle sex to weep are often willing��

        Grieving themselves to guess at others' smarts��

        And then they drown their eyes or break their hearts。



      For men have marble�察�women waxen�察�minds��

      And therefore are they formed as marble will��

      The weak oppressed�察�th' impression of strange kinds

      Is formed in them by force�察�by fraud�察�or skill。

      Then call them not the authors of their ill��

        No more than wax shall be accounted evil

        Wherein is stamped the semblance of a devil。



      Their smoothness�察�like a goodly champaign plain��

      Lays open all the little worms that creep��

      In men�察�as in a rough´grown grove�察�remain

      Cave´keeping evils that obscurely sleep。

      Through crystal walls each little mote will peep。

        Though men can cover crimes with bold stern looks��

        Poor women's faces are their own faults' books。



      No man inveigh against the withered flower��

      But chide rough winter that the flower hath killed。

      Not that devoured�察�but that which doth devour��

      Is worthy blame。 O�察�let it not be hild

      Poor women's faults that they are so fulfilled

        With men's abuses�此�those proud lords to blame

        Make weak´made women tenants to' their shame。



      The precedent whereof in Lucrece view��

      Assailed by night with circumstances strong

      Of present death�察�and shame that might ensue

      By that her death�察�to do her husband wrong。

      Such danger to resistance did belong��

        That dying fear through all her body spread��

        And who cannot abuse a body dead��



      By this�察�mild patience bid fair Lucrece speak
