# THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
VVithout the bed her other faire hand was,
On the greene couerlet whose perfect white
Showed like an Aprill dazie on the graffe,
VVith pearlie fwer resembling dew of night.
Her eyes like Marigolds had sheath’d their light,
And canopied in dark enoffe sweetly lay,
Till they might open to adorne the day.
Her haire like goldê threeds playd with her breath,
O modest wantons, wanton modestie!
Showing lifes triumph in the map of death,
And deaths dim looke in lifes mortalitie.
Ech in her flepe thomfelues fo beautifie,
As if betweene them twaine there were no frife,
But that life hu’d in death, and death in life!
Her breasts like Ivory globes circled with blew,
A paint of maiden worlds veconquered,
Saye of their Lord, no bearing yoke they knew,
And him by oath they truely honored.
These worlds in TARQVIN new ambition bred,
VVho like a fowle vfurper went about,
From this faire throne to heaue the owner out.

# THE RAPE OF LYCRECE
What could he see but mightily he noted?
What did he note, but strongly he desired?
What he beheld, on that he firmly doted,
And in his will his willfull eye he tyred.
With more then admiration he admired
Her azure vaines, her alablafter skinne,
Her corall lips, her snow-white dimpled chin.
As the grim Lion fawneth ore his pray,
Sharpe hunger by the conquest satisfied:
So ore this sleeping foule doth TARQUIN stay,
His rage of lust by gazing qualified;
Slakt, not supprest, for standing by her side,
His eye which late this mutiny restraines,
Unto a greater vprore tempts his vaines.
And they like stragling slaves for pillage fighting,
Obdurate vassals fell exploits effecting,
In bloody death and raushment delighting;
Nor childrens tears nor mothers grones respecting,
Swell in their pride, the onset still expecting:
Anon his beating heart allarum striking,
Giues the hot charge, & bids the do their liking.
