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。
Thou ravisher�察�thou traitor�察�thou false thief��
Thy honey turns to gall�察�thy joy to grief��
'Thy secret pleasure turns to open shame��
Thy private feasting to a public fast��
Thy smoothing titles to a ragged name��
Thy sugared tongue to bitter wormwood taste��
Thy violent vanities can never last��
How comes it then�察�vile Opportunity��
Being so bad�察�such numbers seek for thee��
'When wilt thou be the humble suppliant's friend��
And bring him where his suit may be obtained��
When wilt thou sort an hour great strifes to end��
Or free that soul which wretchedness hath chained��
Give physic to the sick�察�ease to the pained��
The poor�察�lame�察�blind�察�halt�察�creep�察�cry out for thee��
But they ne'er meet with Opportunity。
'The patient dies while the physician sleeps��
The orphan pines while the oppressor feeds��
Justice is feasting while the widow weeps��
Advice is sporting while infection breeds��
Thou grant'st no time for charitable deeds��
Wrath�察�envy�察�treason�察�rape�察�and murder's rages��
Thy heinous hours wait on them as their pages。
'When Truth and Virtue have to do with thee��
A thousand crosses keep them from thy aid��
They buy thy help�察�but Sin ne'er gives a fee��
He gratis comes�察�and thou art well appaid
As well to hear as grant what he hath said。
My Collatine would else have come to me
When Tarquin did�察�but he was stayed by thee。
'Guilty thou art of murder and of theft��
Guilty of perjury and subornation��
Guilty of treason�察�forgery and shift��
Guilty of incest�察�that abomination��
An accessary by thine inclination
To all sins past and all that are to come��
From the creation to the general doom。
'Misshapen Time�察�copesmate of ugly Night��
Swift subtle post�察�carrier of grisly care��
Eater of youth�察�false slave to false delight��
Base watch of woes�察�sin's pack´horse�察�virtue's snare��
Thou nursest all and murd'rest all that are。
O�察�hear me then�察�injurious�察�shifting Time��
Be guilty of my death�察�since of my crime。
'Why hath thy servant Opportunity
Betrayed the hours thou gavest me to repose��
Cancelled my fortunes and enchained me
To endless date of never´ending woes��
Time's office is to fine the hate of foes��
To eat up errors by opinion bred��
Not spend the dowry of a lawful bed。
'Time's glory is to calm contending kings��
To unmask falsehood and bring truth to light��
To stamp the seal of time in aged things��
To wake the morn and sentinel the night��
To wrong the wronger till he render right��
To ruinate proud buildings with thy hours
And smear with dust their glitt'ring golden towers��
'To fill with worm´holes stately monuments��
To feed oblivion with decay of things��
To blot old books and alter their contents��
To pluck the quills from ancient ravens' wings��
To dry the old oak's sap and cherish springs��
To spoil antiquities of hammered steel
And turn the giddy round of Fortune's wheel��
'To show the beldam daughters of her daughter��
To make the child a man�察�the man a child��
To slay the tiger that doth live by slaughter��
To tame the unicorn and lion wild��
To mock the subtle in themselves beguiled��
To cheer the ploughman with increased crops��
And waste huge stones with little water´drops。
'Why work'st thou mischief in thy pilgrimage��
Unless thou couldst return to make amends��
One poor retiring minute in an age
Would purchase thee a thousand thousand friends��
Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends。
O�察�this dread night�察�wouldst thou one hour come back��
I could prev
