- 20 LUCRECE
Nighty mother
of sleep
and
fear^
who
with her
sable
mantle.
(l{osamoiidy 432.)
I know what thorns the grorving rose defends. (Lucrece^ 49--)
The ungather'd l^ose^ defended with the thorns.
(T^osa m ond^ 210.)
'The precedent whereof m Lucrece view. [Lucrece^ i25i.)
These precedents presented to my view. [J^osamond^ 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 [J^osamond^ 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.*
' Again Daniel, developing Seneca's 'Curae leves loquuntur ingentes
stupent', tells of his hero how
Striving to tell his woes, words would not come;
For light cares speak, when mighty cares are dumb. (11. cjo^-io.)
Shakespeare remarks on the silence of his heroine (11. 13x9-50) —
Deep sounds make lesser noise than shallow fords.
And sorrow ebbs, being blown with wind of words.
Cf. Sidney's Arcadia^ bk. i. Eclogue i—
Shallovj hooks ynurmur most^ deep silent slide away.
and Raleigh's ' Silent Lover ' {FoemSy ed. Hannah, No. xiv) —
