- # THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
But Beautie in that white entituled,
From Venus doves doth challenge that faire field,
Then Vertue claimes from Beautie, Beauties red,
VVhich Vertue gaue the golden age, to guild
Their filuer checkes, and cald it then their shield,
Teaching them thus to vše it in the fight,
VVhē shame affaibl, the red should fēce the white.
This Herauldry in LVCRECE face was feene,
Argued by Beauties red and Vertues white,
Of eithers colour was the other Queene:
Prouing from worlds minority their right,
Yet their ambition makes them still to fight:
The foueraignty of either being so great,
That oft they interchange ech others feat.
This silent warre of Lillies and of Roses,
VVhich TARQUIN vew'd in her faire faces field,
In their pure rankes his traytor eye encloses,
VVhere least betweene them both it should be kild.
The coward captiue vanquished, doth yeeld
To those two Armies that would let him goe,
Rather then triumph in so false a foe.
Now
II. 57—77
