        And who cannot abuse a body dead��



      By this�察�mild patience bid fair Lucrece speak

      To the poor counterfeit of her complaining。

      'My girl��' quoth she�察�'on what occasion break

      Those tears from thee that down thy cheeks are raining��

      If thou dost weep for grief of my sustaining��

        Know�察�gentle wench�察�it small avails my mood��

        If tears could help�察�mine own would do me good。



      'But tell me�察�girl�察�when went'´and there she stayed

      Till after a deep groan´'Tarquin from hence��'

      'Madam�察�ere I was up��' replied the maid��

      'The more to blame my sluggard negligence。

      Yet with the fault I thus far can dispense��

        Myself was stirring ere the break of day��

        And ere I rose was Tarquin gone away。



      'But�察�lady�察�if your maid may be so bold��

      She would request to know your heaviness。'

      'O�察�peace��' quoth Lucrece�此�'if it should be told��

      The repetition cannot make it less��

      For more it is than I can well express��

        And that deep torture may be called a hell

        When more is felt than one hath power to tell。



      'Go�察�get me hither paper�察�ink and pen��

      Yet save that labour�察�for I have them here。

      What should I say�拭�One of my husband's men

      Bid thou be ready by and by to bear

      A letter to my lord�察�my love�察�my dear。

        Bid him with speed prepare to carry it��

        The cause craves haste and it will soon be writ。'



      Her maid is gone�察�and she prepares to write��

      First hovering o'er the paper with her quill。

      Conceit and grief an eager combat fight��

      What wit sets down is blotted straight with will��

      This is too curious´good�察�this blunt and ill��

        Much like a press of people at a door��

        Throng her inventions�察�which shall go before。



      At last she thus begins�此�'Thou worthy lord

      Of that unworthy wife that greeteth thee��

      Health to thy person� �next vouchsafe t'afford´

      If ever�察�love�察�thy Lucrece thou wilt see´

      Some present speed to come and visit me。

        So I commend me�察�from our house in grief��

        My woes are tedious�察�though my words are brief。'



      Here folds she up the tenor of her woe��

      Her certain sorrow writ uncertainly。

      By this short schedule Collatine may know

      Her grief�察�but not her grief's true quality��

      She dares not thereof make discovery��

        Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse��

        Ere she with blood had stained her stained excuse。



      Besides�察�the life and feeling of her passion

      She hoards�察�to spend when he is by to hear her��

      When sighs and groans and tears may grace the fashion

      Of her disgrace�察�the better so to clear her

      From that suspicion which the world might bear her。

        To shun this blot�察�she would not blot the letter

        With words�察�till action might become them better。



      To see sad sights moves more than hear them told��

      For then the eye interprets to the car

      The heavy motion that it doth behold��

      When every part a part of woe doth bear。

      'Tis but a part of sorrow that we hear��

        Deep sounds make lesser noise than shallow fords��

        And sorrow ebbs�察�being blown with wind of words。



      Her letter now is sealed and on it writ

      'At Ardea to my lord with more than haste。'

      The post attends�察�and she delivers it��

      Charging the sour´faced groom to hie as fast

      As lagging fowls before the northern blast。

        Speed more than speed but dull and slow she deems��

        Extremity still urgeth such extremes。



      The homely villain curtsies to her low��

      And blushing on her�察�with a steadfast eye

      Receives the scroll without or yea or no��

      And forth with bashful innocence doth hie。

      But they whose guilt within their bosoms lie

        Imagine every eye beholds their blame��

        For Lucrece thought he blushed to see her shame��



      When�察�silly groom�察�God wot�察�it was defect

      Of spirit�察�life and bold audacity。

      Such harmless creatures have a true respect

      To talk in deeds�察�while others saucily

      Promise more speed but do it leisurely。

        Even so this pattern of the worn´out age

        Pawned honest looks�察�but laid no words to gage。



      His kindled duty kindled her mistrust��

      That two red fires in both their faces blazed��

      She thought he blushed�察�as knowing Tarquin's lust��

      And blushing with him�察�wistly on him gazed��

      Her earnest eye did make him more amazed��

        The more she saw the blood his cheeks replenish��

        The more she thought he spied in her some blemish。



      But long she thinks till he return again��

      And yet the duteous vassal scarce is gone。

      The weary time she cannot entertain��

      For now 'tis stale to sigh�察�to weep and groan��

      So woe hath wearied woe�察�moan tired moan��

        That she her plaints a little while doth stay��

        Pausing for means to mourn some newer way。



      At last she calls to mind where hangs a piece

      Of skilful painting�察�made for Priam's Troy��

      Before the which is drawn the power of Greece��

      For Helen's rape the city to destroy��

      Threat'ning cloud´kissing Ilion with annoy��

        Which the conceited painter drew so proud

        As heaven�察�it seemed�察�to kiss the turrets bowed。



      A thousand lamentable objects there��

      In scorn of nature�察�art gave lifeless life��

      Many a dry drop seemed a weeping tear��

      Shed for the slaught'red husband by the wife��

      The red blood reeked�察�to show the painter's strife��

        And dying eyes gleamed forth their ashy lights��

        Like dying coals burnt out in tedious nights。



      There might you see the labouring pioneer

      Begrimed with sweat and smeared all with dust��

      And from the towers of Troy there would appear

      The very eyes of men through loop´holes thrust��

      Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust。

        Such sweet observance in this work was had

        That one might see those far´off eyes look sad。



      In great commanders grace and majesty

      You might behold�察�triumphing in their faces��

      In youth�察�quick bearing and dexterity��

      And here and there the painter interlaces

      Pale cowards marching on with trembling paces��

        Which heartless peasants did so well resemble

        That one would swear he saw them quake and tremble。



      In Ajax and Ulysses�察�O what art

      Of physiognomy might one behold��

      The face of either ciphered either's heart��

      Their face their manners most expressly told��

      In Ajax's eyes blunt rage and rigour rolled��

        But the mild glance that sly Ulysses lent

        Showed deep regard and smiling government。



      There pleading might you see grave Nestor stand��

      As 'twere encouraging the Greeks to fight��

      Making such sober action with his hand

      That it beguiled attention�察�charmed the sight。

      In speech�察�it seemed�察�his beard all silver white

        Wagged up and down�察�and from his lips did fly

        Thin winding breath which purled up to the sky。



      About him were a press of gaping fades��

      Which seemed to swallow up his sound advice��

      All jointly list'ning�察�but with several graces��

      As if some mermaid did their ears entice��

      Some high�察�some low�察�the painter was so nice��

        The scalps of many�察�almost hid behind��

        To jump up higher seemed�察�to mock the mind。



      Here one man's hand leaned on another's head��

      His nose being shadowed by his neighbour's ear��

      Here one being thronged bears back�察�all boll'n and red��

      Another smothered seems to pelt and swear��

      And in their rage such signs�察�of rage of rage they bear

        As�察�but for loss of Nestor's golden words��

        It seemed they would debate with angry swords。



      For much imaginary work was there��

      Conceit deceitful�察�so compact�察�so kind��

      That for Achilles' image stood his spear

      Griped in an armed hand�察�himself behind

      Was left unseen�察�save to the eye of mind��

        A hand�察�a foot�察�a face�察�a leg�察�a head��

        Stood for the whole to be imagined。



      And from the walls of strong´besieged Troy

      When their brave hope�察�bold Hector�察�marched to field��

      Stood many Trojan mothers sharing joy

      To see their youthful sons bright weapons wield��

      And to their hope they such odd action yield

        That through their light joy seemed to appear��

        Like bright things stained�察�a kind of heavy fear。



      And from the strand of Dardan where they fought

      To Simois' reedy banks the red blood ran��

      Whose waves to imitate the battle sought

      With swelling ridges�察�and their ranks began

      To break upon the galled shore�察�and than

        Retire again�察�till meeting greater ranks

        They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks。



      To this well´painted piece is Lucrece come��

      To find a face where all distress is stelled。

      Many she sees where cares have carved some��

      But none where all distress and dolour dwelled��

      Till she despairing Hecuba beheld��

        Staring on Priam's wounds with her old eyes��

        Which bleeding under Pyrrhus' proud foot lies。



      In her the painter had anatomized

      Time's ruin�察�beauty's wrack�察�and grim care's reign��

      Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were disguised��

      Of what she was no semblance did remain��

      Her blue blood changed to black in every vein��

        Wanting the spring that those shrunk pipes had fed��

        Showed life imprisoned in a body dead。



      On this sad shadow Lucrece spends
