- THE RAPE OF LVCRECE,
Times glorie is co calmc contending Kings,
To vnmaske fallhood, and bring truth to light,
To ftampe the fcalc of t;;nc in aged things,
To wake the niornejaniCcntinell the night,
To wrona the wronger till he render rjoht,
To ruinate proud buildings with thy howres,
And Tmeare wiih duft thcirghtring golden towrs.
To fill with wormc-holcs ftately monuments.
To feede obHuion w ith decay of things,
To blot old bookes, and alter tlieir contents.
To pluckc the quils from auncient raucns wings.
To drie the old oakcs fappe, and cherilKiprings :
To fpoilc Antiquities of hammerd fleelc.
And uirne the gi<ldy round of Fortunes w heele.
To (hew the beldame daughters of her daughter,
To make the child a man, the man a childe,
To flay the tygre that doth Hue by Qaughtcr,
To tame the Vnicornc, and Lion v\ ild.
To mocke the fubtle in themfclues beguild,
To cheare the' Plowman with increafefull crops,
--And waft huge ftonps with little water drops.
