- # THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
VVhen wilt thou be the humble suppliants frien!
And bring him where his suit may be obtained?
VVhen wilt thou sort an howre great strifes to end?
Or free that soule which wretchednes hath chained?
Giue phificke to the sicke, ease to the pained?
The poore, lame, blind, hault, crepe, cry out for
But they nere meet with oportunitie. (thee,
The patient dies while the Phifician sleepes,
The Orphane pines while the oppreffor feedes.
Iuftice is feafting while the widow weepes.
Aduife is sporting while infection breeds.
Thou graunt'st no time for charitable deeds.
VVrath, enuy, treason, rape, and murthers rages,
Thy heinous houres wait on them as their Pages.
VVhen Trueth and Vertue haue to do with thee,
A thouland croffes keepe them from thy aide:
They buie thy helpe, but finne nere giues a fee,
He gratis comes, and thou art well apaide,
As well to heare, as graunt what he hath saide.
My COLATINE would else haue come to me,
VVhen TARQVIN did, but he was staied by thee.
Guilty
