- # THE RAPE OF LYCRECE.
How will thy shame be seeded in thine age
V Vhen thus thy vices bud before thy spring?
If in thy hope thou darst do such outrage,
V Vhat darst thou not when once thou art a King?
O be remembered, no outrageous thing.
From vassall actors can be wipt away,
Then Kings misdeedes cannot be hid in clay.
This deed will make thee only loud for feare,
But happy Monarchs still are heard for loue:
V Vith fowle offenders thou perforce must beare,
V Vhen they in thee the like offences proue;
If but for feare of this, thy will remoue.
For Princes are the glafe, the schoole, the booke,
V Vhere subjects eies do learn, do read, do looke.
And wilt thou be the schoole where lust shall learne?
Must he in thee read lectures of such shame?
V Vilt thou be glafe wherein it shall discern
Authoritie for sinne, warrant for blame?
To priuiledge dishonor in thy name.
Thou backst reproch against long-liujng lawd,
And makst faire reputation but a bawd.
Hast
II. 603—623
