Then who fears sinking where such treasure lies��'
As corn o'ergrown by weeds�察�so heedful fear
Is almost choked by unresisted lust。
Away he steals with open list'ning car��
Full of foul hope and full of fond mistrust��
Both which�察�as servitors to the unjust��
So cross him with their opposite persuasion
That now he vows a league and now invasion。
Within his thought her heavenly image sits��
And in the selfsame seat sits Collatine。
That eye which looks on her confounds his wits��
That eye which him beholds�察�as more divine��
Unto a view so false will not incline��
But with a pure appeal seeks to the heart��
Which once corrupted takes the worser part��
And therein heartens up his servile powers��
Who�察�flatt'red by their leader's jocund show��
Stuff up his lust�察�as minutes fill up hours��
And as their captain�察�so their pride doth grow��
Paying more slavish tribute than they owe。
By reprobate desire thus madly led��
The Roman lord marcheth to Lucrece' bed。
The locks between her chamber and his will��
Each one by him enforced�察�retires his ward��
But�察�as they open�察�they all rate his ill��
Which drives the creeping thief to some regard。
The threshold grates the door to have him heard��
Night´wand'ring weasels shriek to see him there��
They fright him�察�yet he still pursues his fear。
As each unwilling portal yields him way��
Through little vents and crannies of the place
The wind wars with his torch to make him stay��
And blows the smoke of it into his face��
Extinguishing his conduct in this case��
But his hot heart�察�which fond desire doth scorch��
Puffs forth another wind that fires the torch��
And being lighted�察�by the light he spies
Lucretia's glove�察�wherein her needle sticks��
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 g
