# LUCRECE
Night, mother of sleep and fear, who with her sable mantle.
(Rosamond, 432.)
I know what thorns the growing rose defends.
(Lucrece, 492.)
The ungather'd Rose, defended with the thorns.
(Rosamond, 210.)
The precedent whereof in Lucrece view.
(Lucrece, 1261.)
These precedents presented to my view.
(Rosamond, 407.)
In sentiment, too, Shakespeare appears often content to follow Daniel. The husband Collatine’s inability to speak, owing to the anguish caused him by Lucrece’s death, resembles King Henry’s enforced silence in presence of Rosamond’s dead body (Rosamond, 904–7):—
Amazed he stands, nor voice nor body stirs,
Words had no passage, tears no issue found:
For sorrow shut up words, wrath kept in tears,
Confused affects each other do confound.
Collatine’s experience is described thus (Lucrece, 1779–80):—
The deep vexation of his inward soul
Hath served a dumb arrest upon his tongue.
