- # THE RAPE OF LVCRECE
And now this pale Swan in her warrie nest,
Begins the sad Dirge of her certaine ending,
Few words (quoth shee) shall fit the trespasse best,
VVhere no excuse can giue the fault amending.
In me moe woes then words are now depending,
And my laments would be drawn out too long,
To tell them all with one poore tired tong.
Then be this all the taske it hath to say,
Deare husband in the interest of thy bed
Astranger came, and on that pillow lay,
VVhere thou wast wont to rest thy wearie head,
And what wrong else may be imagined,
By foule enforcement might be done to me,
From that (alas) thy LVCRECE is not free.
For in the dreadfull dead of darke midnight,
VVith shining Fauchion in my chamber came
A creeping creature with a flaming light,
And softly cried, awake thou Romaine Dame,
And entertains my love, else lasting shame
On thee and thine this night I will inflict,
If thou my lous desire do contradict.
For
11. 1611—1631
