- THE RAPE OF L V C R E C E.
No man inueigh againft ihc withered flowrc,
But chicle rough wiiirer that the flowrc hath kild,
Not that dcuour'd, but that which doth dcuour
Is worthic blame,6 let it not be hild
Poore vv omens faults^ that they arc fo fulfild
With mens abufesj thofe proud Lords to blame,
Make weak-made wome tenants to their fhame.
The prefident whereof in Lvcrece view,
Aflail'd by night with circumftanccs (Irong
Of prcfent dcathj and ihame that might inluc.
By that her death to do her husband wrong.
Such danger to refiftancc did belong ;
That dying fcare through all her bodic jpred,
And who cannot abufe a bodie dead ?
By this milde patience bid faire L v c r e g e /pcakc,
To the poore counterfaite of her complayning,
My girlcj quoth (hce, on what occafion breakc
Thofc tears fro thcCjthat downe thy cheeks arc raig-
Ifthou dofl: wcepc for grie/e of my fuftaining: (ning?
Know c^ende wench it fmallauailcsmv mood,
, .li tears could hclp^mine own would do me good.
