- - To flaie her felfe that should haue flaine her Foe.
- Couragious Romaine, do not fteepe thy hart
- In fuch relenting dew of Lamentations,
But kneele with me and helpe to beare thy part,
To rowfe our Romaine Gods with inuocations,
That they will fuffer thefe abhominations.
(Since Rome her felf in the doth stand disgraced,)
By our strong arms fro forth her fair streets chaced.
- Now by the Capitoll that we adore,
And by this chaft bloud fo vniuftlie stained,
By heauens faire fun that breeds the fat earths ftore,
By all our countrey rights in Rome maintained,
And by chaft L vcrece foule that late complained
Her wrongs to vs, and by this bloudie knife,
VVe will reuenge the death of this true wife.

This fayd, he ftrooke his hand vpon his breast,
And kift the fatall knife to end his vow:
And to his protestation vrg'd the rest,
VVho wondring at him, did his words allow.
Then ioynlie to the ground their knees they bow,
And that deepe vow which Brvtvs made before,
He doth againe repeat, and that they fwore.
VVhen they had fworne to this aduifed doome,
They did conclude to beare dead Lvcrece thence,
To fhew her bleeding bodie thorough Roome,
And fo to publish TARQVINS fowle offence;
VVhich being done, with fpeedie diligence,
The Romaines plausibly did giue consent,
To TARQVINS euerlasting banishment.
