From forth dull sleep by dreadful fancy waking��
That thinks she hath beheld some ghastly sprite��
Whose grim aspect sets every joint a´shaking��
What terror 'tis� �but she�察�in worser taking��
From sleep disturbed�察�heedfully doth view
The sight which makes supposed terror true。
Wrapped and confounded in a thousand fears��
Like to a new´killed bird she trembling lies��
She dares not look�察�yet�察�winking�察�there appears
Quick´shifting antics�察�ugly in her eyes。
;Such shadows are the weak brain's forgeries��
Who�察�angry that the eyes fly from their lights��
In darkness daunts them with more dreadful sights。
His hand that yet remains upon her breast´
Rude ram�察�to batter such an ivory wall� �
May feel her heart�察�poor citizen�察�distressed��
Wounding itself to death�察�rise up and fall��
Beating her bulk�察�that his hand shakes withal。
This moves in him more rage and lesser pity��
To make the breach and enter this sweet city。
First like a trumpet doth his tongue begin
To sound a parley to his heartless foe��
Who o'er the white sheet peers her whiter chin��
The reason of this rash alarm to know��
Which he by dumb demeanour seeks to show��
But she with vehement prayers urgeth still
Under what colour he commits this ill。
Thus he replies�此�'The colour in thy face��
That even for anger makes the lily pale
And the red rose blush at her own disgrace��
Shall plead for me and tell my loving tale。
Under that colour am I come to scale
Thy never´conquered fort。 The fault is thine��
For those thine eyes betray thee unto mine。
'Thus I forestall thee�察�if thou mean to chide��
Thy beauty hath ensnared thee to this night��
Where thou with patience must my will abide��
My will that marks thee for my earth's delight��
Which I to conquer sought with all my might��
But as reproof and reason beat it dead��
By thy bright beauty was it newly bred。
'I see what crosses my attempt will bring��
I know what thorns the growing rose defends��
I think the honey guarded with a sting��
All this beforehand counsel comprehends。
But will is deaf and hears no heedful friends��
Only he hath an eye to gaze on beauty��
And dotes on what he looks�察�'gainst law or duty。
'I have debated�察�even in my soul��
What wrong�察�what shame�察�what sorrow I shall breed��
But nothing can affection's course control��
Or stop the headlong fury of his speed。
I know repentant tears ensue the deed��
Reproach�察�disdain and deadly enmity��
Yet strive I to embrace mine infamy。'
This said�察�he shakes aloft his Roman blade��
Which�察�like a falcon tow'ring in the skies��
Coucheth the fowl below with his wings' shade��
Whose crooked beak threats if he mount he dies。
So under his insulting falchion lies
Harmless Lucretia�察�marking what he tells
With trembling fear�察�as fowl hear falcons' bells。
'Lucrece��' quoth he�察�'this night I must enjoy thee。
If thou deny�察�then force must work my way��
For in thy bed I purpose to destroy thee��
That done�察�some worthless slave of thine I'll slay��
To kill thine honour with thy life's decay��
And in thy dead arms do I mean to place him��
Swearing I slew him�察�seeing thee embrace him。
'So thy surviving husband shall remain
The scornful mark of every open eye��
Thy kinsmen hang their heads at this disdain��
Thy issue blurred with nameless bastardy��
And thou�察�the author of their obloquy��
Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes
And sung by children in succeeding times。
'But if thou yield�察�I rest thy secret friend��
The fault unknown is as a thought unacted��
;A little harm done to a great good end
For lawful policy remains enacted。
;The poisonous simple sometime is compacted
In a pure compound�察�being so applied��
His venom in effect is purified。
'Then�察�for thy husband and thy children's sake��
Tender my suit�察�bequeath not to their lot
The shame that from them no device can take��
The blemish that will never be forgot��
Worse than a slavish wipe or birth´hour's blot��
For marks descried in men's nativity
Are nature's faults�察�not their own infamy。'
Here with a cockatrice' dead´killing eye
He rouseth up himself�察�and makes a pause��
While she�察�the picture of pure piety��
Like a white hind under the gripe's sharp claws��
Pleads in a wilderness where are no laws
To the rough beast that knows no gentle right��
Nor aught obeys but his foul appetite。
But when a black´faced cloud the world doth threat��
In his dim mist th' aspiring mountains hiding��
From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get��
Which blows these pitchy vapours from their biding��
Hind'ring their present fall by this dividing��
So his unhallowed haste her words delays��
And moody Pluto winks while Orpheus plays。
Yet�察�foul night´waking cat�察�he doth but dally��
While in his hold´fast foot the weak mouse panteth��
Her sad behaviour feeds his vulture folly��
A swallowing gulf that even in plenty wanteth��
His ear her prayers admits�察�but his heart granteth
No penetrable entrance to her plaining。
;Tears harden lust�察�though marble wear with raining。
Her pity´pleading eyes are sadly fixed
In the remorseless wrinkles of his face��
Her modest eloquence with sighs is mixed��
Which to her oratory adds more grace。
She puts the period often from his place��
And midst the sentence so her accent breaks
That twice she doth begin ere once she speaks。
She conjures him by high almighty Jove��
By knighthood�察�gentry�察�and sweet friendship's oath��
By her untimely tears�察�her husband's love��
By holy human law and common troth��
By heaven and earth�察�and all the power of both��
That to his borrowed bed he make retire��
And stoop to honour�察�not to foul desire。
Quoth she�此�'Reward not hospitality
With such black payment as thou hast pretended��
Mud not the fountain that gave drink to thee��
Mar not the thing that cannot be amended��
End thy ill aim before thy shoot be ended。
He is no woodman that doth bend his bow
To strike a poor unseasonable doe。
'My husband is thy friend´for his sake spare me��
Thyself art mighty´for thine own sake leave me��
Myself a weakling´do not then ensnare me��
Thou look'st not like deceit´do not deceive me。
My sighs like whirlwinds labour hence to heave thee。
If ever man were moved with woman's moans��
Be moved with my tears�察�my sighs�察�my groans��
'All which together�察�like a troubled ocean��
Beat at thy rocky and wrack´threat'ning heart��
To soften it with their continual motion��
For stones dissolved to water do convert。
O�察�if no harder than a stone thou art��
Melt at my tears�察�and be compassionate��
Soft pity enters at an iron gate。
'In Tarquin's likeness I did entertain thee��
Hast thou put on his shape to do him shame��
To all the host of heaven I complain me
Thou wrong'st his honour�察�wound'st his princely name。
Thou art not what thou seem'st�察�and if the same��
Thou seem'st not what thou art�察�a god�察�a king��
For kings�察�like gods should govern every thing。
'How will thy shame be seeded in thine age��
When thus thy vices bud before thy spring��
If in thy hope thou dar'st do such outrage��
What dar'st thou not when once thou art a king��
O�察�be rememb'red�察�no outrageous thing
From vassal actors can be wiped away��
Then kings' misdeeds cannot be hid in clay。
'This deed will make thee only loved for fear��
But happy monarchs still are feared for love��
With foul offenders thou perforce must bear��
When they in thee the like offences prove。
If but for fear of this�察�thy will remove��
For princes are the glass�察�the school�察�the book��
Where subjects' eyes do learn�察�do read�察�do look。
'And wilt thou be the school where Lust shall learn��
Must he in thee read lectures of such shame��
Wilt thou be glass wherein it shall discern
Authority for sin�察�warrant for blame��
To privilege dishonour in thy name��
Thou back'st reproach against long´liv
