- # THE RAPE OF LYCRECE.
So thy furuiuing husband shall remaine
The scornful marke of euerie open eye,
Thy kinsmen hang their heads at this disdaine,
Thy issue blur'd with nameless bastardie;
And thou the author of their obloquie,
Shalt haue thy trespassé cited vp in rimes,
And sung by children in succeeding times.
But if thou yeeld, I rest thy secret friend,
The fault vnhnowne, is as a thought vnacted,
“A little harme done to a great good end,
For lawfull pollicie remaines enacted.
“The poysonous simple sometime is compacted
In a pure compound; being so applied,
His venome in effect is purified.
Then for thy husband and thy children's sake,
Tender my suite, bequeath not to their lot
The shame that from them no deuse can take,
The blemish that will never be forgot;
V Vorse then a slauish wipe, or birth howrs blot,
For markes discried in mens natiuitie,
Are natures faultes, not their owne infamie,
Hcre
II. 519—539
