A — travail of a worthier pen
knowing a better spirit dotli use
I am a worthless boat
but a common grave
a limit past my praise
tender of a poet's debt
How far a modern quill
and bring a tomb
And such a counterpart
beauteous blessings add a curse
Above a mortal pitch
as a dream doth flatter
In sleep a king
I can set down a story
will be a gainer too
To set a form
of a conquer'd woe
a windy night a rainy morrow
out a purposed overthrow
a joy above the rest
I see a better state
O, what a happy title
Like a deceived husband
Which, like a canker
but in a kind of praise
O, what a mansion
finger of a throned queen
If like a lamb
How like a winter
'tis with so dull a cheer
Hath put a spirit
A third nor red nor white
A vengeful canker eat him up
be a satire to decay
outlive a gilded tomb
a scope to show her pride
and there appears a face
like a dial-hand
in a wondrous excellence
Even such a beauty
forfeit to a confined doom
a motley to the view
A god in love
my name receives a brand
like a willing patient
bad a perfect best
Love is a babe
found a kind of raeetness
medicine a healthful state
you've pass'd a hell of time
And I, a tyrant
now becomes a fee
dressings of a former sight
Hence, thou suborn'd informer I
true soul
with a bastard shame
with a false esteem
in a waste of shame
as a swallow'd bait
A bliss in proof, and proved, a ver
woe
Before a joy proposed, behind,
dream
a far more pleasing sound
never saw a goddess go
A thousand groans
A torment thrice threefold
And sue a friend
Among a number

White and bristly beard " 12 8

truth's and beauty's doom and date " 14 14
Cheered and check'd even by " 15 6

For thee and for myself "
But day by night, and night by day "

And night doth nightly make "
fortune and men's eyes "
And trouble deaf heaven "
And look upon myself and curse "
this man's art and that man's scope "
thee, and then my state "
And with old woes new wail "
And weep afresh "
And moan the expense "
And heavily from woe to woe "
restored and sorrows end "
And there reigns love and all love's "
And all those friends "
holy and obsequious "
And thou, all they "
And shalt by fortune "
And though they be outstripp'd "
died, and poets better prove "
And from the forlorn world "
And make me travel "
wound and cures not "
And they are rich and ransom all "
thorns, and silver fountains mud "
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon
and sun "
And loathsome canker "
faults, and even I "
And 'gainst myself "
my love and hate "
worth and truth "
And by a part "
And he that calls on thee "
And what is 't but mine own "
And our dear love "
Which time and thoughts so sweetly "
And that thou teachest "
And yet, love knows "
Thy beauty and thy years "

I think my love as rare "
As any she belied with false compare "
Thou art as tyrannous so as thou art "
As those whose beauties proudly

Be — Be thou the tenth Muse Son
The pain be mine, but thine shall

But yet be blamed "

Gentle thou art, and therefore to be

Beauteous thou art, therefore to be
assailed "

Until life's composition be recured "
thence thou wilt be stol'n "

appetite "

Let this sad interim like the ocean be "
more blest may be the view "
Where you may be "
Be where you list "
though waiting so be hell "
be it ill or well "
If there be nothing new "
Or whether revolution be the same "
my slumbers should he broken "
Against my love shall be "
shall in these black lines be seen "
from these would I be gone "
That thou art blamed shall not be
thy defect "
So thou be good "
Yet thus thy praise cannot be so thy
praise "
That I in your sweet thoughts would
be forgot "
My name be bxiried "
But be contented "
Too base of thee to be remembered "
to be with you alone "
or must from you be took "
Yet be most proud "
with thy sweet graces graced be "
and I be cast away "
each part will be forgotten "
Your monument shall be my gentle
verse "
And tongues to be your being shall
rehearse "
And their gross painting might be
better used "
Which shall be most my glory "
When thou shalt be disposed "
And I by this will be a gainer too "
Be absent from thy walks "
Of more delight than hawks or
horses be "
Thou mayst be false "
Whate'er thy thoughts or thy
heart's workings be "
The basest jewel will be well es-
teem'd "
If any, be a satire to decay "
what shall be thy amends "
wilt thou be dumb "
And to be praised of ages yet to be "
you never can be old "

That you are you "
To every hymn that able spirit

Most true it is that I have look'd "
That did not better for my life "
Thence comes it that my name re-
ceives a brand "
bitterness that I will bitter think "
Even that your pity is enough "
That my steel'd sense "
that my adder's sense "
,. That all the world besides "
And that which governs "
And that your love taught it "
That mine eye loves it "
lines that I before have writ "
Even those that said I could not love "
To give full growth to that which
still doth grow "
That looks on tempests "
Accuse me thus : that I have scant-
ed all "
That I have frequent been "

That— That I have hoisted sail Son
ere that there were true needing "
The ills that were not, grew "
Drugs poison him that so fell sick
of you "
That better is by evil still made "
That you were once unkind "
And for that sorrow which "
O, that our night of woe "
But that your trespass now becomes "
No, I am that I am, and they that
level "
Which shall above that idle rank
remain "
That poor retention could not "
those tables that receive thee more "
Time, thou shalt not boast that I
do change "
What thou dost foist upon us that
is old "
Than think that we before "
not policy, that heretic "
That it nor grows with heat "
to this purpose that her skill "
That every tongue says beauty "
Upon that blessed wood "
concord that mine ear confounds "
those jacks that nimble leap "
which should that harvest reap "
the heaven that leads men to this
hell
the breath that from my mistress
reeks "
That music hath a far more "
some say that thee behold "
that is not false I swear "
Nor that full star that ushers in
the even "
Doth half that glory to the sober
west "
all they foul that thy complexion
lack "
Beshrew that heart that makes
my heart "
For that deep wound it gives "
and all that is in me "
confess'd that he is thine "
Myself I'll forfeit, so that other
mine "
Under that bond that him as fast
doth bind "
Thou usurer that put'st forth all
to use "
am I that vex thee still "
and me in that one ' Will "
If thy soul check thee that I come
so near "
Swear to thy blind soul that I was
thy ' Will "
That nothing me, a something "
Make but my name thy love, and
love that still "
That they behold, and see not "
Why should my heart think that
a several plot "
swears that she is made "
That she might think me "
thinking that she thinks me young "
say not I that I am old "

where-through the sun
know not the heart
the marigold at the sun's eye

which the blind do see
the benefit of rest

plain
I tell the day
do blot the heaven
the swart-complexion'd night
thou gild'st the even
Like to the lark
When to the sessions
I sigh the lack
And moan the expense
The sad account
But if the while I think
As interest of the dead
Thou art the grave
Hung with the trophies
hast all the all of me
the bettering of the time
the height of happier men
Flatter the mountain-tops
the meadows green
the basest clouds to ride
And from the forlorn world
The region cloud
Suns of the world may stain
that through the cloud thou break
To dry the rain
heals the wound and cures not the
disgrace
yet I have still the loss
The offender's sorrow
bear the strong offence's cross
0, give thyself the thanks
Be thou the tenth Muse
The pain be mine, but thine shall
be the praise
all the better part of me
To entertain the time
But here's the joy
For all the day
To the clear day
In the living day
If the dull substance
Upon the farthest earth
As soon as think the place

THE
The— The first my thought, the
other my desire <
the conquest of thy sight
the freedom of that right
But the defendant
all tenants to the heart
The clear eye's moiety and the
dear heart's part
now unto the other
And to the painted banquet
Are left the prey
Within the gentle closure
from the thing it was
Within the knowledge of mine
To guard the lawful reasons
the strength of laws
I journey on the way
' Thus far the miles
The beast that bears me
the wretch did know
The bloody spur
excuse the slow offence
mounted on the wind
So am I as the rich
The which he will not
For blunting the fine point
in the long year set
jewels in the carcanet
So is the time
the wardrobe which the robe doth
hide
and the counterfeit
Speak of the spring and foison of
the year
The one doth shadow
The other as your bounty
The rose looks fair
The canker-blooms
As the perfumed tincture of the
roses
nor the gilded monuments
root out the work of masonry
The living record
Even in the eyes
out to the ending doom
So, till the judgement
The spirit of love
like the ocean be
Whicli parts the shore
Come daily to the banks
may be the view
Upon the hours
chide the world-without-end hour
watch the clock for you
Nor think the bitterness
at your hand the account
The imprison'd absence
The second burthen
courses of the sun
what the old world could say
revolution be the same
the wits of former days
Like as the waves make towards
the pebbled shore
once in the main of light
the flourish set on youth
delves the parallels
Feeds on the rarities
eyelids to the weary night

The — immured is the store
by all the Muses filed
to the most of praise
for the breath of words
Was it the proud
Bouud for the prize
the womb whereiu they grew
The charter of thy worth
The cause of this fair gift
in the eye of scorn
The injuries that to myself
while the world is bent
with the spite of fortune
Come in the rearward
But in the onset come
At first the very worst
a joy above the rest
the worst of wrongs
When in the least of them
the false heart's history
do not do the thing
They are the lords and owners
The summer's flower is to the
summer sweet
The basest weed
dost thou make the shame
a canker in the fragrant rose
Doth spot the beauty
the story of thy days
The hardest knife
As on the finger
The basest jewel
the stern wolf betray
the strength of all thy state
the pleasure of the fleeting year
The teeming autumn
the wanton burthen of the prime
the very birds are mute
dreading the winter's near
been absent in the spring
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the
sweet smell
at the lily's white
the deep vermillion in the rose
The forward violet
The purple pride
The lily I condemned
The roses fearfully
Sing to the ear
though less the show
The owner's tongue
and then but in the spring
Not that the summer
did hush the night
The argument, all bare
To mar the subject
Have from the forests
the seasons have I seen
When in the chronicle
of the fairest wights
Then, in the blazon
nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world
Can yet the lease
The mortal moon
And the sad augurs mock
Now with the drops
What's in the brain
say o'er the very same

should thee behold

parts of me to thee did give
evermore acknowledge thee

Thee— To live with thee
they cannot hear thee
they will not cheer thee
Even so, poor bird, like thee
Every one that flatters thee
He will help thee
He with thee doth bear a part
Theft — and complain on theft
ransack'd by injurious theft
of murder and of theft
But for his theft
Tlieir — amid their plenty
their elbows and their hips
gather'd in their prime
Herbs for their smell
by their own direction
Open'd their mouths
wither in their prime
borrow'd all their shine
true leaders to their queen
let their crimson liveries
their verdure still endure
birds to their nest
Their lips together
take counsel of their friends
hounds mistake their smell
pursuers in their yell
their clamorous cry
do they spend their mouths
their loud alarums
Their light blown out
Their copious stories
from their strict embrace
Finding their enemy
their captain once doth yield
clapping their proud tails
Shaking their scratch'd ears
began to turn their tide
their office and their light
By their suggestion
from their dark beds
their colours fresh and trim
on it their golden gills
some other in their bills
Their virtue lost
their lives shall not enjoy
upon their whiteness stood
Their mistress mounted
Holding their course to Paphos,
where their queen
hap which their superiors want R L 42
Their silver cheeks, and call'd it
then their shield
from world's minority their right
Yet their ambition
In their pure ranks
from their parling looks
unloose it from their bond
that I their father had not been
Mine eyes forego their light
with their opposite persuasion
flatter'd by their leader's jocund
show
And as their captain, so their
pride doth grow
construes their denial
till their effects be tried
By their high treason
the period of their ill

Keserve their character

Some in their garments
Some in their hawks and hounds,
some in their horse
owners of their faces
of their excellence
turn sourest by their deeds
Which for their habitation
after their lords' decease
Or from their proud lap
lose their dear delight
I see their antique pen
So all their praises
mock their own presage
their spheres been fitted
Which in their wills
reckon up their own

makes them still to fight
lest between them both
That dazzleth them
As if between them twain
bids them do their liking
In darkness daunts them
from them no device can take
drop on them perpetually
but he that gives them knows
that we call them ours
wait on them as their pages
keep them from thy aid
little stars may hide them
sorrows bear them mild
Is form'd in them by force
Then call them not the authors
for I have them here
might become them better
more than hear them told
he saw them quake and tremble
She lends them words
and make them bold
prepares to let them know
To tell them all
in them doth stand disgraced
in them I read such art
Let them say more
Compare them with
Reserve them for my love
yea, take them all
I send them back again
And I am still with them
and he in them still green
When in the least of them
pluck them where they grew
it shapes them to your feature
Therefore to give them
rather make them born
before have heard them told
Give them thy fingers
proudly make them cruel
Or made them swear
Bidding them find
moe pleasures to bestow them
which doth owe them
supposed them mistress
Love made them not
Harm have I done to them
that I hoard them not
But yield them up
I strong o'er them
And, veil'd in them
cherubin, above them hover'd
to turn them both to gain
toys that in them lurk
The cock that treads them
time with age shall them attaint
But in them it were a wonder
So between them love did shine
Theme— leave this idle theme
your idle, overhandled theme
If that be made a theme
Three themes in one
Themselves— Rot and consume . . . .
Things growing to themselves
hands themselves do slay
Do burn themselves

to make me wander thither
Thong-— Throwing the base thong
Thorn — I know what thorns
against a thorn thou bear'st
Roses have thorns
Hang on such thorns
on thorns did stand
Ne'er to pluck thee from thy thorn
Lean'd her breast up-till a thorn
Thorny — The thorny brambles
Thorough — her bleeding body thor-
ough Rome
Those— those fair lips of thine
if those hills be dry
Love made those hollows
As those poor birds
Of those fair arras
Those eyes that taught
if none of those
To those two armies
Those that much covet
Or as those bars
For those thine eyes betray thee
To those that live
Of those fair suns
those proud lords to blame
Those tears from thee
those far-olF eyes look sad
that those shrunk pipes have fed
no god to lend her those
To see those borrow'd tears
Those round clear pearls
to those already spent
Speaking to those that came
lends to those are free
Those hours that with gentle
Which happies those that pay
Let those whom Nature
As those gold candles
Let those who are
And all those fi-iends
Ah, but those tears
So shall those blots
Than those old nine
Those pretty wrongs
By those swift messengers
how happy you make those
And all those beauties
In him those holy antique
Those parts of thee
But those same tongues
Upon those boughs
Those children nursed
have those vices got
So are those errors
you pattern of all those
Those lines that I before
Even those that said
To trust those tables

THOU
Thou— thou not farther than my
thoughts canst move Son
But thou, to Tvhom "
Thou, best of dearest "
thou art not, though I feel thou art "
thou mayst come and part "
thence thou wilt be stol'n "
thou shalt strangely pass" "
~ To leave poor me thou hast the
strength "
From where thou art "
So, love, be thou ; although to-day
thou fill "
Dost thou desire "
thou send'st from thee "
whilst thou dost wake "
that thou dost common grow "
That thou art blamed "
So thou be good "
And thou present'st "
Thou hast pass'd "
Then thou alone "
thou mayst in me behold "
In me thou see'st "
In me thou see'st the glowing "
This thou perceivest "
thou must leave "
When thou reviewest this, thou
dost review "
So then thou hast "
learning mayst thou taste "
Thou by thy dial's shady stealth "
and thou shalt find "
oft as thou wilt look "
thou dost but mend "
But thou art all my art "
thou thyself dost pay "
I grant thou wert not "
Thou art as fair "
Thou truly fair wert truly "
Farewell ! thou art too dear "
thou know'st thy estimate "
Thyself thou gavest "
to whom thou gavest it "
When thou shalt be "
though thou art forsworn "
That thou in losing me "
Say that thou didst forsake "
whom thou dost hate "
hate me when thou wilt "
If thou wilt leave me "
that thou mayst take "
thou art assured mine "
Thou caust not vex me "
Thou mayst be false "
supposing thou art true "
dost thou make the shame "
thou thy sins inclose "
Thou makest faults graces "
mightst thou lead away "
If thou wouldst use "
As thou being mine "
And, thou away, the very birds "
whence didst thou steal "
thou hast too grossly dyed "
Where art thou. Muse, that thou
forget'st "
Spend'st thou thy fury "
So thou prevent'st his scythe "

What need'st thou wound "
Be wise as thou art cruel "
I may not be so, nor thou belied "
compare thou thine own state "
thou shalt find it merits not "

If thou dost seek to have what
thou dost hide "
mayst thou be denied "
So runn'st thou after that "
But if thou catch "
thou mayst have thy ' Will "
If thou turn back "
Why dost thou pine "
Dost thou upon thy fading "
Then, soul, live thou "
So shalt thou feed on death "
thou keep'st me blind "
Canst thou, O cruel "
On whom frown'st thou "
Nay, if thou lour'st on me "
Those that can see thou lovest "
thou this powerful might "
Whence hast thou this "
thou shouldst not abhor "
For, thou betraying me . "
In loving thee thou know'st "
But thou art twice forsworn "
thou register of lies L C
witness dost thou bear
For thou art all

deserved thy beauty's use
And see thy blood
Look in thy glass

Thou art thy mother's glass
this thy golden time
thy beauty's legacy
thyself thy sweet self dost deceive
Thy unused beauty
In thee thy summer
thyself out-going in thy noon
The world will be thy widow
should be thy chief desire
O, change thy thought
Be, as thy presence is
Then of thy beauty
Thy end is truth's
But thy eternal summer
O, carve not with thy hours
in thy course untainted do allow
Yet do thy worst, old Time, despite
thy wrong
thy love, and thy love's use
Which in thy breast doth live
Bearing thy heart
Presume not on thy heart
Thy beauty's form
have drawn thy shape
Thy merit hath my duty
In thy soul's thought
of thy sweet respect
Presents thy shadow
For thy sweet love
Thy bosom is endeared
of thy deceased lover
Hiding thy bravery
Nor can thy shame
which thy love sheds
thy trespass with compare
salving thy amiss
Excusing thy sins more than thy
sins are
For to thy sensual fault
Thy adverse party is thy advocate
Without thy help
honour from thy name
mine is thy good report
of thy worth and truth
Entitled in thy parts
That I in thy abundance
of all thy glory live
stand against thy sight
O, how thy worth
Were it not thy sour leisure
I do forgive thy robbery
absent from thy heart
Thy beauty and thy years
And chide thy beauty and thy
straying youth
Hers, by thy beauty
Thine, by thy beauty
would thy shadow's form
thy much clearer light
thy shade shines so
thy fair imperfect shade
Of thy fair health
the conquest of thy sight

Against thy reasons "
knowing thy will "
Be absent from thy walks "

Tliy— I cannot know thy change
in thy creation did decree
That in thy face
Whate'er thy thoughts or thy
heart's workings be
Thy looks should nothing
doth thy beauty grow
If thy sweet virtue answer not thy
show
of thy budding name
dost thou thy sins inclose
the story of thy days
comments on thy sport
Naming thy name
Some say, thy fault is youth
Some say, thy grace is youth
the strength of all thy state
mine is thy good report
whence didst thou steal thy sweet
Which on thy soft cheek
condemned for thy hand
had stol'n thy hair
had annex'd thy breath
gives thee all thy might
Spend'st thou thy fury
Darkening thy power
that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen
what shall be thy amends
For thy neglect
Then do thy office
shalt find thy monument
or thy dear merit
I hallow'd thy fair name
in thy breast doth lie
all thy sum of good
Even to thy pure
Thy gift, thy tables
Of thee, thy record
thy dear love to score
Thy pyramids built up
Thy registers and thee
For thy records and what
by thy continual haste
despite thy scythe and thee
obsequious in thy heart
stands least in thy control
who in thy power
Thy lovers withering as thy sweet
self grow'st
With thy sweet fingers
tender inward of thy hand
O'er whom thy fingers walk
Give them thy fingers, me thy lips
to kiss
Thy face hath not the power
but thinking on thy face
Thy black is fairest
black save in thy deeds
Knowing thy heart torments
eyes become thy face
as well beseem thy heart
And suit thy pity
that thy complexion lack
thy cruel eye
thy steel bosom's ward
am mortgaged to thy will
The statute of thy beauty
thou hast thy ' Will

Wounding itself to death
To make the breach
To sound a parley to his heartless
foe
this rash alarm to know
seeks to show
I come to scale
if thou mean to chide
to this night
Which I to conquer sought
to gaze on beauty
to embrace mine infamy
I purpose to destroy thee
To kill thine honour
I mean to place him
to a great good end
bequeath not to their lot
To the rough beast

Which to her oratory
That to his borrow'd bed
And stoop to honour, not to foul
desire
gave drink to thee
To strike a poor unseasonable doe
labour hence to heave thee
To soften it
dissolved to water
to do him shame
To all the host of heaven
To privilege dishonour
to guard iniquity

To view thy present trespass

' To thee, to thee
Not to seducing lust
To their salt sovereign
Add to his flow
Who seek to stain

low vassals to thy state
Yield to my love
I mean to bear thee

To whose weak ruins
To ask the spotted princess
To living death
To cloak offences
To have their unseen sin
to close so pure a mind
to meet the eastern light

To cross their arms
To mask their brows

VENUS AND ADONIS
Even as the sun with purple-colour'd face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Eose-cheek'd Adonis hied hina to the chase ;
Hunting he loved, but love he laugh'd to scorn ;
Sick-thoughted Venus makes amain unto him, 5
And like a bold-faced suitor 'gins to woo him.
' Thrice fairer than myself,' thus she began,
' The field's chief flower, sweet above compare.
Stain to all nymphs, more lovely than a man,
More white and red than doves or roses are ; 10
Nature that made thee, with herself at strife,
Saith that the world hath ending with thy life.
' Vouchsafe, thou wonder, to alight thy steed,
And rein his proud head to the saddle-bow ;
If thou wilt deign this favour, for thy meed 15
A thousand honey secrets shalt thou know ;
Here come and sit, where never serpent hisses,
And, being set, I'll smother thee with kisses ;
' And yet not cloy thy lips with loathed satiety,
But rather famish them amid their plenty, 20
Making them red and pale with fresh variety ;
Ten kisses short as one, one long as twenty ;
A summer's day will seem an hour but short,
Being wasted in such time-beguiling sport.'
With this she seizeth on his sweating palm, 25
The precedent of pith and livelihood,
And, trembling in her passion, calls it balm,
Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good ;
Being so enraged, desire doth lend her force
Courageously to pluck him from his horse. 30
Over one arm the lusty courser's rein.
Under her other was the tender boy.
Who blush'd and pouted in a dull disdain,
With leaden appetite, unapt to toy ;
She red and hot as coals of glowing fire, 35
He red for shame, but frosty in desire.
The studded bridle on a ragged hough
Nimbly she fastens, — 0, how quick is love ! —
The steed is stalled up, and even now
To tie the rider she begins to prove ; 40
Backward she push'd him, as she would be
thrust.
And govern'd him in strength, though not in lust.
So soon was she along as he was down,
Each leaning on their ellMjws and their hips :
Now doth she stroke his cheek, now doth he
frown, 45
And 'gins to chide, but soon she stops his lips,
24
And kissing speaks, with lustful language
broken,
' If thou wilt chide, thy lips shall never open.'
He burns with bashful shame; she with her tears
Doth quench the maiden burning of his cheeks ; 50
Then with her windy sighs and golden hairs
To fan and blow them dry again she seeks ;
He saith she is immodest, blames her miss ;
What follows more she murders with a kiss.
Even as an empty eagle, sharp by fast, 55
Tires with her beak on feathers, flesh, and bone,
Shaking her wings, devouring ail in haste.
Till either gorge be stuff' d or prey be gone ;
Even so she kiss'd his brow, his cheek, his chin,
And where she ends she doth anew begin, 60
Forced to content, but never to obey,
Panting he lies and breatheth in her face ;
She feedeth on the steam as on a prey.
And calls it heavenly moisture, air of grace ; 64
Wishing her cheeks were gardens full of flowers.
So they were dew'd with such distilling showers.
Look, how a bird lies tangled in a net.
So fasten'd in her arms Adonis lies;
Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret.
Which bred more beauty in his angry eyes ; 70
Rain added to a river that is rank
Perforce will force it overflow the bank.
Still she entreats, and prettily entreats.
For to a pretty ear she tunes her tale ;
Still is he sullen, still he lours and frets, 75
'Twixt crimson shame and anger ashy-pale ;
Being red, she loves him best; and being white,
Her best is better'd with a more delight.
Look how he can, she cannot choose but love ;
And by her fair immortal hand she swears 80
From his soft bosom never to remove,
Till he take truce with her contending tears.
Which long have rain'd, making her cheeks all
wet;
And one sweet kiss shall pay this countless debt.
Upon this promise did he raise his chin, 85
Like a dive-dapper peering through a wave,
Who, being look'd on, ducks as quickly in ;
So oflers he to give what she did crave ;
But when her lips were ready for his pay.
He winks, and turns his lips another way. 90
Never did passenger in summer's heat
More thirst for drink than she for this good turn,
369
370
VENUS AND ADONIS
[Line 93-204.
Her help she sees, but help she cannot get ;
She bathes in water, yet her fire must burn ;
' O, pity,' 'gan she cry, ' flint-hearted boy ! 95
'Tis but a kiss I beg ; why art thou coy ?
' I have been woo'd, as I entreat thee now,
Even by the stern and direful god of war.
Whose sinewy neck in battle ne'er did bow.
Who conquers where he comes in every jar ; 100
Yet hath he been my captive and my slave.
And begg'd for that which thou unask'd shalt
have.
' Over ray altars hath he hung his lance,
His batter'd shield, his uncontrolled crest.
And for my sake hath learn'd to sport and dance.
To toy, to wanton, dally, smile and jest ; 106
Scorning his churlish drum and ensign red,
Making my arms his field, his tent my bed.
' Thus he that overruled I oversway'd.
Leading him prisoner in a red-rose chain ; 110
Strong -tempered steel his stronger strength
obey'd.
Yet was he servile to my coy disdain.
O, be not proud, nor brag not of thy might.
For mastering her that foil'd the god of fight !
' Touch but my lips with those fair lips of thine, —
Though mine be not so fair, yet are they red, — 116
The kiss shall be thine own as well as mine;
What see'st thou in the ground ? hold up thy head ;
Look in mine eyeballs, there thy beauty lies ;
Then why not lips on lips, since eyes in eyes? 120
'Art thou ashamed to kiss? then wink again,
And I will wink ; so shall the day seem night ;
Love keeps his revels where there are but twain ;
Be bold to play, our sport is not in sight;
These blue-vein'd violets whereon we lean 12,5
Never can blab, nor know not what we mean.
' The tender spring upon thy tempting lip
Shews thee unripe ; yet mayst thou well be tasted ;
Make use of time, let not advantage slip ;
Beauty within itself should not be wasted ; 130
Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime
Rot and consume themselves in little time.
'Were I hard-favovir'd, foul, or wrinkled-old,
Ill-nurtured, crooked, churlish, harsh in voice,
O'erworn, despised, rheumatic and cold, 1.3.5
Thick-sighted, barren, lean, and lacking juice,
Then mightst thou pause, for then I were not
for thee ;
But having no defects, why dost abhor me?
' Thou canst not see one wrinkle in my brow ;
Mine eyes are grey, and bright, and quick in
turning; 140
My beauty as the spring doth yearly grow,
My flesh is soft and plump, my marrow burning ;
My smooth, moist hand, were it with thy hand
felt,
Would in thy palm dissolve, or seem to melt.
'Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.
Or, like a fairy, trip upon the green.
Or, like a nymph with long dishevell'd hair,
Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen ;
145
Love is a spirit all compact of fire.
Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire. 150
'Witness this primrose bank whereon I lie;
These forceless flowers like sturdy trees support
me;
Two strengthless doves will draw me through the
sky.
From morn till night, even where I list to sport me ;
Is love so light, sweet boy, and may it be 155
That thou shouldst think it heavy unto thee ?
'Is thine own heart to thine own face affected?
Can thy right hand seize love upon thy left?
Then woo thyself, be of thyself rejected.
Steal thine own freedom, and complain on theft.
Narcissus so himself himself forsook, 161
And died to kiss his shadow in the brook.
' Torches are made to light, jewels to wear,
Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, 164
Herbs for their smell, and sappy plants to bear;
Things growing to themselves are growth's abuse ;
Seeds spring from seeds and beauty breedeth
beauty ;
Thou wast begot ; to get it is thy duty.
' Upon the earth's increase why shouldst thou feed,
Unless the earth with thy increase be fed? 170
By law of nature thou art bound to breed.
That thine may live when thou thyself art dead;
And so, in spite of death, thou dost survive,
In that thy likeness still is left alive.'
By this, the love-sick queen began to sweat, 175
For, where they lay, the shadow had forsook them,
And Titan, tired in the mid-day heat.
With burning eye did hotly overlook them,
Wishing Adonis had his team to guide.
So he were like him and by Venus' side. 180
And now Adonis, with a lazy spright.
And with a heavy, dark, disliking eye.
His louring brows o'erwhelming his fair sight.
Like misty vapours when they blot the sky, 184
Souring his cheeks, cries 'Fie, no more of love!
The sun doth burn my face ; I must remove.'
' Ay me,' quoth Venus, ' young, and so unkind !
What bare excuses makest thou to be gone !
I'll sigh celestial breath, whose gentle wind
Shall cool the heat of this descending sun ; 190
I'll make a shadow for thee of my hairs ;
If they burn too, I'll quench them with my tears.
' The sun that shines from heaven shines but warm.
And, lo, I lie between that sun and thee:
The heat I have from thence doth little harm, 195
Thine eye darts forth the fire that burneth me ;
And were I not immortal, life were done
Between this heavenly and earthly sun.
' Art thou obdurate, flinty, hard as steel?
Nay, more than flint, for stone at rain relenteth ;
Art thou a woman's son, and canst not feel 201
What 'tis to love? how want of love tormenteth?
O, had thy mother borne so hard a mind.
She had not brought forth thee, but died unkind.
Line 205-318.]
VENUS AND ADONIS
371
' What am I, that thou shouldst contemn me this?
Or what great danger dwells upon my suit? 206
What were thy lips the worse for one poor kiss?
Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute;
Give me one kiss, I'll give it thee again.
And one for interest, if thou wilt have twain. 210
' Fie, lifeless picture, cold and senseless stone,
Well-painted idol, image dull and dead,
Statue contenting but the eye alone.
Thing like a man, but of no woman bred !
Thou art no man, though of a man's com-
plexion, 215
For men will kiss even hy their own direction.'
This said, impatience chokes her pleading tongue,
And swelling passion doth provoke a pause;
Red cheeks and fiery eyes blaze forth her wrong ;
Being judge in love, she cannot right her cause ;
And now she weeps, and now she fain would
speak, 221
And now her sobs do her intendments break.
Sometimes she shakes her head, and then his hand.
Now gazeth she on him, now on the ground ;
Sometimes her arms infold him like a band ; 22.5
She would, he will not in her arms be bound ;
And when from tlience he struggles to be gone,
She locks her lily fingers one in one.
' Fondling,' she saith, ' since I have hemm'd thee
here
Within the circuit of this ivory pale, 230
I'll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer ;
Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale ;
Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry.
Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
' Within this limit is relief enough, 235
Sweet bottom-grass and higli delightful plain,
Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough.
To shelter thee from tempest and from rain ;
Then be my deer, since I am such a park ;
No dog shall rouse thee, though a tliousand
bark.' 240
At this Adonis smiles as in disdain.
That in each cheek appears a pretty dimple ;
Love made those hollows, if himself were slain.
He might be buried in a tomb so simple ;
Foreknowing well, if there he came to lie, 245
Why, there Love lived, and there he could not
die.
These lovely caves, these round enchanting pits,
Open'd their mouths to swallow Venus' liking.
Being mad before, how doth she now for wits? 249
Struck dead at first, what needs a second striking ?
Poor queen of love, in tliine own law forlorn.
To love a cheek that smiles at thee in scorn !
Now which way shall she turn? what shall she say?
Her words are done, her woes the more increasing ;
The time is spent, her object will away, 255
And from her twining arms doth urge releasing.
' Pity,' she cries, ' some favour, some remorse !'
Away he springs, and hasteth to his horse.
But, lo, from forth a copse that neighbours by,
A breeding jennet, lusty, young, and proud, 260
Adonis' trampling courser doth espy.
And forth she rushes, snorts and neighs aloud ;
The strong-neck'd steed, being tied unto a tree,
Breaketh his rein and to her straight goes he.
Imperiously he leaps, he neighs, he bounds, 265
And now his woven girths he breaks asunder;
The bearing earth with his hard hoof he wounds,
Whose hollow womb resounds like heaven's thun-
der;
The iron bit he crusheth 'tween his teeth,
Controlling what he was controlled with. 270
His ears up-prick'd; his braided hanging mane
Upon his compass'd crest now stand on end ;
His nostrils drink the air, and forth again.
As from a furnace, vapours doth he send ;
His eye, which scornfully glisters like fire, 275
Shows his hot courage and his high desire.
Sometime he trots, as if he told the steps,
With gentle majesty and modest pride ;
Anon he rears upright, curvets and leaps.
As who should say ' Lo, thus my strength is tried ;
And this I do to captivate the eye 281
Of the fair breeder that is standing by.'
What recketh he his rider's angry stir.
His ilattering 'Holla' or his 'Stand, I say'?
What cares he now for curb or pricking spur? 285
For rich caparisons or trapping gay ?
He sees his love, and nothing else he sees.
For nothing else with his proud sight agrees.
Look, when a painter would surpass the life.
In limning out a well-proportion'd steed, 290
His art with nature's workmanship at .strife.
As if the dead the living should exceed ;
So did this horse excel a common one
In shape, in courage, colour, pace, and bone.
Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and
long, 295
Broad breast, full eye, small head and nostril wide.
High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing
strong.
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide ;
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack.
Save a proud rider on so proud a back. 300
Sometime he scuds far ofT, and there he stares ;
Anon he starts at stirring of a feather;
To bid the wind a base he now prepares.
And whe'r he run or fly they know not whether ;
For through his mane and tail the high wind
sings, 305
Fanning the hairs, who wave like feather'd
wings.
He looks upon his love and neighs unto her;
She answers him, as if she knew his mind ; 308
Being proud, as females are, to see him woo her,
She puts on outward strangeness, seems unkind,
Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels.
Beating his kind embracements with her heels.
Then, like a melancholy malcontent.
He vails his tail, that, like a faJUng plume.
Cool shadow to his melting buttock lent ; 315
He stamps, and bites the poor flies in his fume.
His love, perceiving how he is enraged.
Grew kinder, and his fury was assuaged.

VENUS AND ADONIS
[Line 319-430-
His testy master goeth about to take him ;
Wiien, lo, the unback'd breeder, full of fear, 320
Jealous of catching, swiftly doth forsake him,
With her the horse, and left Adonis there ;
As they were mad, unto the wood they hie them,
Out-stripping crows that strive to over-fly them.
All swoln with chaiang, down Adonis sits, 325
Banning his boisterous and unruly beast;
And now the happy season once more fits,
That love-sick Love by pleading may be blest ;
For lovers say the heart hath treble wrong
When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue. 330
An oven that is stopp'd, or river stay'd,
Burneth more hotly, swelleth with more rage ;
So of concealed sorrow may be said :
Free vent of words love's fire doth assuage ;
But when the heart's attorney once is mute, 335
The client breaks, as desperate in his suit.
He sees her coming, and begins to glow,
Even as a dying coal revives with wind,
And with his bonnet hides his angry brow.
Looks on the dull earth with disturbed mind ; 340
Taking no notice that she is so nigh.
For all askance he holds her in his eye.
O, what a sight it was, wistly to view
How she came stealing to the wayward boy !
To note the fighting conflict of her hue, 345
How white and red each other did destroy !
But now her cheek was pale, and by and by
It flash'd forth fire, as lightning from the sky.
Now was she just before him as he sat.
And like a lowly lover down she kneels ; 350
With one fair hand she heaveth up his hat.
Her other tender hand his fair cheek feels ;
His tenderer cheek receives her soft hand's
print.
As apt as new-fall'n snow takes any dint.
O, what a war of looks was then between them ! 3-55
Her eyes petitioners to his eyes suing ;
His eyes saw her eyes as they had not seen them !
Her eyes woo'd still, his eyes disdain'd the wooing ;
And all this dumb play had liis acts made plain
With tears, which chorus-like her eyes did
rain. 360
Full gently now she takes him by the hand,
A lily prison'd in a gaol of snow.
Or ivory in an alabaster band ;
So white a friend engirts so white a foe ;
This beauteous combat, wilful and unwilling, 365
Show'd like two silver doves that sit ar-billiug.
Once more the engine of her thoughts began :
' O fairest mover on this mortal round,
Would thou wert as I am, and I a man, 369
My heart all whole as thine, thy heart my wound ;
For one sweet look thy help I would assure thee.
Though nothing but my body's bane would cure
thee.'
' Give me my hand,' saith he ; ' why dost thou feel
it?'
' Give me my heart,' saith she, ' and thou shalt
have it ;
O, give it me, lest thy hard heart do steel it, 375
And being steel'd, soft sighs can never grave it ;
Then love's deep groans I never shall regard,
Because Adonis' heart hath made mine hard.'
' For shame,' he cries, ' let go, and let me go ;
My day's delight is past, my horse is gone, 380
And 'tis your fault I am bereft him so ;
I pray you hence, and leave me here alone ;
For all my mind, my thought, my busy care.
Is how to get my palfrey from the mare.'
Thus she replies: 'Thy palfrey, as he should, 385
Welcomes the warm approach of sweet desire;
Affection is a coal that must be cool'd ;
Else, suffered, it will set the heart on fire ; 388
The sea hath bounds, but deep desire hath none ;
Therefore no marvel though thy horse be gone.
' How like a jade he stood, tied to the tree,
Servilely master'd with a leathern rein !
But when he saw his love, his youth's fair fee,
He held such petty bondage in disdain ; 394
Throwing the base thong from his bending crest,
Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast.
' Who sees his true-love in her naked bed,
Teaching the sheets a whiter hue than white.
But, when his glutton eye so full hath fed.
His other agents aim at like delight? 400
Who is so faint, that dares not be so bold
To touch the fire, the weather being cold?
' Let me excuse thy courser, gentle boy ;
And learn of him, I heartily beseech thee,
To take advantage on presented joy ; 405
Though I were dumb, yet his proceedings teacb
thee;
O, learn to love ; the lesson is but plain,
And once made perfect, never lost again.'
' I know not love,' quoth he, ' nor will not know it,
Unless it be a boar, and then I chase it ; 410
'Tis much to borrow, and I will not owe it ;
My love to love is love but to disgrace it ;
For I have heard it is a life in death,
That laughs, and weeps, and all but with a
breath.
' Who wears a garment shapeless and unfinish'd 7
Who plucks the bud before one leaf put forth? 41S
If springing things be any jot diminish'd.
They wither in their prime, prove nothing worth ;
The colt that's back'd and burden'd being young
Loseth his pride, and never waxeth strong. 420
'You hurt my hand with wringing; let us part,
And leave this idle theme, this bootless chat ;
Remove your siege from my unyielding heart;
To love's alarms it will not ope the gate ;
Dismiss your vows, your feigned tears, your
flattery ; 425
For where a heart is hard they make no battery.'
' What ! canst thou talk ?' quoth she, ' hast thou a
tongue?
O, would thou hadst not, or I had no hearing!
Thy mermaid's voice hath done me double wrong ;
I had my load before, now press'd with bearing ; 430

Melodious discord, heavenly tune harsh-sound-
ing.
Ear's deep-sweet music, and heart's deep-sore
wounding.
' Had I no eyes but ears, ray ears would love
That inward beauty and invisible ;
Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move 435
Each part in me that were but sensible ;
Though neither eyes nor ears, to hear nor see,
Yet should I be in love by touching thee.
' Say, that the sense of feeling were bereft me,
And that I could not see, nor hear, nor touch, 440
And nothing but the very smell were left me,
Yet would my love to thee be still as much ;
For from the stillitory of thy face excelling
Comes breath perfumed, that breedeth lova by
smelling.
' But, 0, what banquet wert thou to the taste, 445
Being nurse and feeder of the other four !
Would they not wish the feast might ever last,
And bid Suspicion double-lock the door,
Lest Jealousy, that sour unwelcome guest.
Should by his stealing in disturb the feast?' 450
Once more the ruby-colour'd portal open'd.
Which to his speech did honey passage yield;
Like a red morn that ever yet betoken'd
Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field.
Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, 455
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
This ill presage advisedly she marketh ;
Even as the wind is hush'd before it raineth.
Or as the wolf doth grin before he barketh.
Or as the berry breaks before it staineth, 460
Or like the deadly bullet of a gun.
His meaning struck her ere his words begun.
And at his look she flatly falleth down.
For looks kill love, and love by looks reviveth ;
A smile recures the wounding of a frown ; 465
But blessed bankrupt, that by love so thriveth !
The silly boy, believing she is dead.
Claps her pale cheek, till clapping makes it red;
And all amazed brake ofl' his late intent.
For sharjjly he did think to reprehend her, 470
Which cunning love did wittily prevent ;
Fair fall the wit that can so well defend her !
For on the grass she lies as she were slain,
Till his breath breatheth life in her again.
He wrings her nose, he strikes her on the cheeks,
He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, 476
He chafes her lips ; a thousand ways he seeks
To mend the hurt that his unkindness marr'd;
He kisses her ; and she, by her good will.
Will never rise, so he will kiss her still. 480
The night of sorrow now is turn'd to day ;
Her two blue windows faintly she up-lieaveth,
Like the fair sun, when in his fresh array
He cheers the morn, and all the earth relieveth ;
And as the bright sun glorifies the sky, 485
So is her face illumined with her eye ;
Whose beams upon his hairless face are fix'd.
As if from thence they borrow'd all their shine.
Were never four such lamps together mix'd.
Had not his clouded with his brow's repine;
But hers, which through the crystal tears gave
light, 491
Shone like the moon in water seen by night.
'O, where am I?' quoth she; 'in earth or heaven.
Or in the ocean drench'd, or in the fire?
What hour is this? or morn or weary even? 495
Do I delight to die, or life desire?
But now I lived, and life was death's annoy;
But now I died, and death was lively joy.
' O, thou didst kill me ; kill me once again ; 499
Thy eji^es' shrewd tutor, that hard heart of thine.
Hath taught them scornful tricks, and such dis-
dain.
That they have raurder'd this poor heart of mine ;
And these mine eyes, true leaders to their queen,
But for thy piteous lips no more had seen.
' Long may they kiss each other, for this cure! 505
O, never let their crimson liveries wear !
And as they last, their verdure stOl endure,
To drive infection from the dangerous year !
That the star-gazers, having writ on death, 509
May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath.
' Pure lips, sweet seals in my soft lips imprinted,
What bargains may I make, still to be seaUng?
To sell myself I can be well contented,
So thou wilt buy, and pay, and use good dealing;
Which purchase if thou make, for fear of slips
Set thy seal-manual on my wax-red lips. 516
' A thousand kisses buys my heart from me;
And pay them at thy leisure, one by one.
What is ten hundred touches unto thee?
Are they not quickly told and quickly gone ? 520
Say, for non-payment that the debt should
double.
Is twenty hundred kisses such a trouble ?'
' Fair queen,' quoth he, ' if any love you owe me,
Measure my strangeness with my unripe years;
Before I know mj'self, seek not to know me ; 525
No fisher but the ungrown fry forbears;
The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast.
Or being early pluck'd is sour to taste.
' Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait,
His day's hot task hath ended in the west ; 530
The owl, night's herald, shrieks, — 'tis very late ;
The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest;
And coal-black clouds that shadow heaven's
light
Do summon us to part, and bid good-night.
'Now let me say "Good-night," and so say you;
If you will say so, you shall have a kiss.' 536
' Good-night,' quoth she ; and, ere he says 'Adieu,'
The honey fee of parting tender'd is ;
Her arms do lend his neck a sweet embrace ; 53S
Incorporate then they seem ; face grows to face.
Till breathless he disjoin'd, and backward drew
Tlie heavenly moisture, that sweet coral mouth,
AVhose precious taste her thirsty lips well knew,
Whereon they surfeit, yet complain on drouth ;
374
VENUS AND ADONIS
[Line 545-652.
He with her plenty pressed, she faint with
dearth, 545
Their lips together glued, fall to the earth.
Isow quick desire hath caught the yielding prey,
And glutton-like she feeds, yet never filleth;
Her lips are conquerors, his lips obey,
Paying what ransom the insulter willeth ; 550
Whose vulture-thought doth pitch the price so
high,
That she will draw his lips' rich treasure dry.
And having felt the sweetness of the spoil,
With blindfold fury she begins to forage ; 554
Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil.
And careless lust stirs up a desperate courage,
Planting oblivion, beating reason back,
Forgetting shame's pure blush and honour's
wrack.
Hot, faint, and weary, with her hard embracing.
Like a wild bird being tamed with too much hand-
ling, 560
Or as the fleet-foot roe that's tired with chasing,
Or like the froward infant still'd with dandling,
He now obeys, and now no more resisteth,
While she takes all she can, not all she listeth.
What wax so frozen but dissolves with tempering.
And yields at last to every light impression? 566
Things out of hope are conipass'd oft with ven-
turing.
Chiefly in love, whose leave exceeds commission;
Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward.
But then woos best when most his choice is
froward. 570
When he did frown, O, had she then gave over,
Such nectar from his lips she had not suck'd.
Foul words and frowns must not repel a lover ;
What though the rose have prickles, yet 'tis
pluck'd ;
Were beauty under twenty locks kept fast, 575
Yet love breaks through, and picks them all at
last.
For pity now she can no more detain him ;
The poor fool prays her that he may depart ;
She is resolved no longer to restrain him ;
Bids him farewell, and look well to her heart, 5S0
The which, by Cupid's bow she doth protest.
He carries thence incaged in his breast.
'Sweet boy,' she says, 'this night I'll waste in
sorrow.
For my sick heart commands mine eyes to watch.
Tell me, love's master, shall we meet to-mor-
row ? 585
Say, shall we? shall we? wilt thou make the
match ?'
He tells her, no ; to-morrow he intends
To hunt the boar with certain of his friends.
' The boar !' quoth she ; whereat a sudden pale,
Like lawn being spread upon the blushing rose, 590
Usurps her cheek ; she trembles at his tale.
And on his neck her yoking arms she throws ;
She sinketh down, still hanging by his neck,
He on her belly falls, she on her back.
Now is she in the very lists of love, 595
Her champion mounted for the hot encounter;
All is imaginary she doth prove.
He will not manage her, although he mount her ;
That worse than Tantalus' is her annoy.
To clip Elysium, and to lack her joy. 600
Even as poor birds, deceived with painted grapes,
Do surfeit by the eye and pine the maw.
Even so she languisheth in her mishaps,
As those poor birds that helpless berries saw. 604
The warm effects which she in him finds missing
She seeks to kindle with continual kissing.
But all in vain ; good queen, it will not be ;
She hath assay'd as much as may be proved ;
Her pleading hath deserved a greater fee ;
She's Love, she loves, and yet she is not loved. 610
' Fie, fie,' he says, ' you crush me ; let me go ;
You have no reason to withhold me so.'
'Thou hadst l^een gone,' quoth she, 'sweet boy, ere
this.
But that thou told'st me thou wouldst hunt the
boar.
O, be advised ; thou know'st not what it is 615
With javelin's point a churlish swine to gore,
Whose tushes never sheathed he whetteth still,
Like to a mortal butcher, bent to kill.
' On his bow-back he hath a battle set
Of bristly pikes, that ever threat his foes; 620
His eyes, like glow-worms, shine when he doth
fret ;
His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes ;
Being moved, he strikes whate'er is in his way;
And whom he strikes his crooked tushes slay.
' His brawny sides, with hairy bristles arm'd, 625
Are better proof than thy spear's point can enter ;
His short thick neck cannot be easily harm'd;
Being ireful, on the lion he will venture;
The thorny brambles and embracing bushes, 629
As fearful of him, part ; through whom he rashes.
'Alas, he nought esteems that face of thine.
To which Love's eyes pay tributary gazes;
Nor thy soft hands, sweet lips and crystal eyne,
Whose full perfection all the world amazes ; 634
But having thee at vantage, — ^wondrous dread ! —
Would root these beauties as he roots the mead.
' 0, let him keep his loathsome cabin still ;
Beauty hath nought to do with such foul fiends ;
Come not within his danger by thy will ; 639
They that thrive well take counsel of their friends.
When thou didst name the boar, not to dissemble,
I fear'd thy fortune, and my joints did tremble.
' Didst thou not mark my face? was it not white?
Saw'st thou not signs of fear lurk iu mine eye?
Grew I not faint? and fell I not downright? 645
Within my bosom, whereon thou dost lie,
My boding heart pants, beats, and takes no rest,
But, like an earthquake, shakes thee on my
breast.
' For where Love reigns, disturbing Jealousy
Doth call himself Affection's sentinel ; 650
Gives false alarms, suggesteth mutiny.
And in a peaceful hour doth cry " JCill, killl"

Distempering gentle Love in his desire,
As air and. water do abate the tire.
'This sour informer, this bate-breeding spy, 655
This canker that eats up Love's tender spring,
This carry-tale, dissentious Jealousy,
That sometime true news, sometime false doth
bring,
Knocks at my heart, and whispers in mine ear,
That if I love thee, I thy death should fear ; 660
' And more than so, presenteth to mine eye
The picture of an angry-chafing boar,
Under wliose sharp fangs on his back doth lie
An image like thyself, all stained with gore ;
Whose blood upon the fresh flowers being shed
Doth make them droop with grief and hang the
head. 636
' What should I do, seeing thee so indeed,
That tremble at the imagination?
The thought of it doth make my faint heart bleed,
And fear doth teach it divination ; 670
I prophesy thy death, my living sorrow.
If thou encounter with the boar to-morrow.
' But if thou needs wilt hunt, be ruled by me ;
Uncouple at the timorous flying hare.
Or at tlie fox which lives by subtlety, 675
Or at the roe which no encounter dare ;
Pursue these fearful creatures o'er the downs,
And on thy well-breath'd horse keep with thy
hounds.
'And when thou hast on foot the purblind hare,
Mark the poor wretpii, to overshoot his troubles.
How he outruns the wind, and with what care 681
He cranks and crosses with a thousand doubles ;
The many musits through the which he goes
Are like a labyrinth to amaze his foes.
' Sometime he runs among a flock of sheep, 685
To make the cunning hounds mistake their smell,
And sometime where earth-delving conies keep.
To stop the loud pursuers in their yell ;
And sometime sorteth with a herd of deer:
Danger deviseth shifts ; wit waits on fear ; 690
' For there his smell with others being mingled.
The hot scent-snuiiing hounds are driven to doubt.
Ceasing their clamorous cry till they have singled
With much ado the cold fault cleanly out ;
Then do they spend their mouths ; Echo replies.

Stands on his hinder legs with listening ear.

To one sore sick that hears the passing-bell.
' Then shalt thou see the dew-bedabbled wretch
Turn, and return, indenting with the way ;
Each envious brier his weary legs doth scratch, 705
Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay ;
For misery is trodden on by many.
And being low never relieved by any.
' Lie quietly, and hear a little more ;
Nay, do not struggle, for thou shalt not rise ; 710
To make thee hate the hunting of the boar,
Unlike myself thou hear'st me moralize.
Applying this to that, and so to so;
For love can comment upon every woe.
'Where did Heave?' 'No matter where,' quothhe;
'Leave me, and then the story aptly ends ; 716

' I am,' quoth he, ' expected of my friends ;
And now 'tis dark, and going I sliall fall.'
' In night,' quoth she, ' desire sees best of all. 720
' But if thou fall, O, then imagine this.
The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips.
And all is but to rob thee of a kiss.
Rich preys make true men thieves ; so do thy lips
Make modest Dian cloudy and forlorn, 725
Lest she should steal a kiss, and die forsworn.
' Now of this dark night I perceive the reason :
Cynthia for shame obscures her silver shine.
Till forging Nature be eondemn'd of treason, 729
For stealing moulds from heaven that were divine ;
Wherein she framed thee, in high heaven's
despite.
To shame the sun by day and her by night.
' And therefore hath she bribed the Destinies
To cross the curious workmanship of nature.
To mingle beauty with infirmities 735
And pure perfection with impure defeature ;
Making it subject to the tyranny
Of mad mischances and much misery;
'As burning fevers, agues pale and faint.
Life-poisoning pestilence and frenzies wood, 740
The marrow-eating sickness, whose attaint
Disorder breeds by heating of the blood ;
Surfeits, imposthumes, grief and damn'd despair,
Swear Nature's death for framing thee so fair.
' And not the least of all these maladies 7-45
But in one minute's fight brings beauty under ;
Both favour, savour, hue and qualities.
Whereat the impartial gazer late did wonder.
Are on the sudden wasted, thaw'd and done, 749
As mountain snow melts with the mid-day sun.
' Therefore, despite of fruitless chastity.
Love-lacking vestals and self-loving nuns.
That on the earth would breed a scarcity
And barren dearth of daughters and of sons.
Be prodigal ; the lamp that burus by night 755
Dries up his oil to lend the world his light.
' What is thy body but a swallowing grave,
Seeming to bury that posterity
Which by the rights of time thou needs must have,
If thou destroy them not in dark obscurity? 750
If so, the world will hold thee in disdain,
Sith in thy pride so fair a hope is slain.
' So in thyself thyself art made away ;
A mischief worse than civil home-bred strife.
Or theirs whose desperate hands themselves do
slay, 765
Or butcher-sire that reaves his son of life.

' Nay, then,' quoth Adon, ' you will fall again
Into your idle over-handled theme ; 770

And all in vain you strive against the stream ;
For, by this black-faced night, desire's foul
nurse,
Your treatise makes me like you worse and

And every tongue more moving than your own, 776

Yet from mine ear the tempting tune is blown ;
For know, my heart stands armed in mine ear.
And will not let a false sound enter there; 780
' Lest the deceiving harmony should run
Into the quiet closure of my breast ;
And then my little heart were quite undone,
In his bedchamber to be barr'd of rest.
No, lady, no ; my heart longs not to groan, 785
But soundly sleeps, while now it sleeps alone.
' "What have you urged that I cannot reprove?
The path is smooth that leadeth on to danger;
I hate not love, but your device in love
That lends embracements unto every stranger. 790
You do it for increase : strange excuse,
When reason is the bawd to lust's abuse !
' Call it not love, for Love to heaven is fled
Since sweating Lust on earth usurp'd his name ;
Under whose simple semblance he hath fed 795
Upon fresh beauty, blotting it with blame ;
Which the hot tyrant stains and soon bereaves.
As caterpillars do the tender leaves.
' Love eomforteth like sunshine after rain,
But Lust's effect is temjiest after sun ; 800
Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain,
Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done ;
Love surfeits not. Lust like a glutton dies;
Love is all truth. Lust fall of forged lies.
' More I could tell, but more I dare not say ; 805
The text is old, the orator too green.
Therefore, in sadness, now I will away ;
My face is full of shame, my heart of teen ;
Mine ears, that to your wanton talk attended.
Do burn themselves for having so offended.' 810
With this, he breaketh from the sweet embrace
Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast.
And homeward through the dark lawnd runs
apace ;
Leaves Love upon her back deeply distress'd.
Look, how a bright star shooteth from the sky,
So glides he in the night from Venus' eye ; 816
Which after him she darts, as one on shore
Gazing upon a late-embarked friend.
Till the wild waves will have him seen no more.
Whose ridges with the meeting clouds contend ; 820
So did the merciless and pitchy night
Fold in the object that did feed her sight.
Whereat amazed, as one that unaware
Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood,
Or 'stonish'd as night-wanderers often are, 825
Their light blown out in some mistrustful wood ;
Even so confounded in the dark she lay,
Having lost the fair discovery of her way.
And now she beats her heart, whereat it groans.
That all the neighbor caves, as seeming troubled,
Make verbal repetition of her moans ; 831
Passion on passion deeply is redoubled ;
' Ay me !' she cries, and twenty times, ' Woe, woe !'
And twenty echoes twenty times cry so.
She, marking them, begins a wailing note, 835
And sings extemporally a woeful ditty ;
How love makes young men thrall, and old men
dote;
How love is wise in folly, foolish-witty ;
Her heavy anthem still concludes in woo,
And still the choir of echoes answer so. 840
Her song was tedious, and outwore the night.
For lovers' hours are long, though seeming short;
If pleased themselves, others, they think, delight
In such-like circumstance, with such-like sport;
Their copious stories, oftentimes begun, 845
End without audience, and are never done.
For who hath she to spend the night withal,
But idle sounds resembling parasites ;
Like shrill-tongued tapsters answering every call,
Soothing the humour of fantastic wits? 850
She says ' 'Tis so :' they answer all ' 'Tis so ;'
And would say after her, if she said ' No.'
Lo, here the gentle lark, weary of rest.
From his moist cabinet mounts up on high.
And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his majesty ; 856
Who doth the world so gloriously behold.
That cedar-tops and hills seem burnish'd gold.
Venus salutes him with this fair good-morrow ;
' thou clear god, and patron of all light, 860
From whom each lamp and shining star doth bor-
row
The beauteous influence that makes him bright,
There lives a son, that suck'd an earthly mother,
May lend thee light, as thou dost lend to other.'
This said, she hasteth to a myrtle grove, 865
Musing the morning is so much o'erworn.
And yet she hears no tidings of her love ;
She hearkens for his hounds and for his horn ;
Anon she hears them chant it lustily.
And all in haste she coasteth to the cry. 870
And as she runs, the bushes in the way
Some catch he* by the neck, some kiss her face,
Some twine about her thigh to make her stay ;
She wildly breaketh from their strict embrace, 874
Like a milch doe, whose swelling dugs do ache,
Hasting to feed her fawn hid in some brake.
By this she hears the hounds are at a bay ;
Whereat she starts, like one that spies an adder
Wreathed up in fatal folds just in his way.
The fear whereof doth make him shake and shud-
der ; 880
Line 881-994.]
VENUS AND ADONIS
377
Even so the timorous yelping of the hounds
Appals her senses and her spirit confounds.
For now she knows it is no gentle chase,
But the blunt boar, rough bear, or lion proud.
Because the cry remaineth in one place, S85
Where fearfully the dogs exclaim aloud ;
Finding their enemy to be so curst.
They all strain courtesy who shall cope him first.
This dismal cry rings sadly in her ear,
Through which it enters to surprise her heart ; 890
Who, overcome by doubt and bloodless fear,
With cold-pale weakness numbs each feeling part ;
Like soldiers, when their captain once doth
yield.
They basely fly, and dare not stay the field.
Thus stands she in a trembling ecstasy ; 895
Till, cheering up her senses all dismay'd.
She tells them 'tis a causeless fantasy,
And childish error, that tliey are afraid ;
Bids them leave quaking, bids them fear no
more ; 899
And with that word she spied the hunted boar ;
Whose frothy mouth, bepainted all with red,
Like milk and blood being mingled both together,
A second fear through all her sinews spread.
Which madly hurries her she knows not whither;
This way she runs, and now she will no further,
But back retires to rate the boar for niurther. 906
A thousand spleens bear her a thousand ways ;
She treads the path that she untreads again;
Her more than haste is mated with delaj^s.
Like the proceedings of a drunken brain, 910
Full of respects, yet nou: ht at all respecting;
In hand with all things, nought at all effecting.
Here kennell'd in a brake she finds a hound.
And asks the weary caitiff for his master ;
And their another licking of his wound, 915
'Gainst venom'd sores the only sovereign plaster;
And here she meets another sadly scowling.
To whom she speaks, and he replies with howl-
ing.
When he hath ceased his ill-resounding noise.
Another flap-mouth'd mourner, black and grim,
Against the welkin volleys out his voice ; 921
Another and another answer him.
Clapping their proud tails to the ground below.
Shaking their scratch'd ears, bleeding as they go.
Look, how the world's poor people are amazed
At apparitions, signs, and prodigies, 926
Whereon with fearful eyes they long have gazed.
Infusing them with dreadful prophecies;
So she at these sad signs draws up her breath,
And, sighing it again, exclaims on Death. 930
' Hard-fa vour'd tyrant, ugly, meagre, lean,
Hateful divorce of love,' — thus chides she Death, —
'Grim-griuning ghost, earth's worm, what dost
thou mean
To stifle beauty and to steal his breath,
Who when he lived, his breath and beauty set
Gloss on the rose, smell to the violet? 936
' If he be dead, — no, it cannot be.
Seeing his beauty, thou shouldst strike at it ; —
O yes, it may ; thou hast no eyes to see.
But hatefully at random dost thou hit. 940
Thy mark is feeble age; but thy false dart
Mistakes that aim, and cleaves an infant's heart.
' Hadst thou but bid beware, then he had spoke,
And, hearing him, thy power had lost his power.
The Destinies will curse thee for this stroke; 945
They bid thee crop a weed, thou pluck'st a flower ;
Love's golden arrow at him should have fled.
And not Death's ebon dart, to strike him dead.
' Dost thou drink tears, that thou provokest such
weeping?
What may a heavy groan advantage thee ? 950
Why hast thou cast into eternal sleeping
Those eyes that taught all other eyes to see?
Now Nature cares not for thy mortal vigour,
Since her best work is ruin'd with thy rigour.'
Here overcome, as one full of despair, 955
She vail'd her eyelids, who, like sluices, stopp'd
The crystal tide that from her two cheeks fair
In the sweet channel of her bosom dropp'd ;
But through the flood-gates breaks the silver
rain,
And with his strong course opens them again. 960
O, how her eyes and tears did lend and borrow !
Her eyes seen in the tears, tears in her eye ;
Both crystals, where they view'd each other's
sorrow.
Sorrow that friendly sighs sought still to dry;
But like a stormy day, now wind, now rain, 9G5
Sighs dry her cheeks, tears make them wet again.
Variable passions throng her constant woe.
As striving who should best becom-e her grief;
All entertain'd, each passion labours so
That every present sorrow seemeth chief, 970
But none is best ; then join they all together.
Like many clouds consulting for foul weather.
By this, far off she hears some huntsman holloa;
A nurse's song ne'er pleased her babe so well ;
The dire imagination she did follow 975
This sound of hope doth labour to expel ;
For now reviving joy bids her rejoice,
And flatters her it is Adonis' voice.
Whereat her tears began to turn their tide,
Being prison'd in her eye like pearls in glass; 980
Yet sometimes falls an orient drop beside.
Which her cheek melts, as scorning it should pass
To wash the foul face of the sluttish ground.
Who is but drunken when she seemeth drown'd.
O hard-believing love, how strange it seems 985
Not to believe, and yet too credulous !
Thy weal and woe are both of them extremes ;
Despair, and hope, makes thee ridiculous ; 988
The one doth flatter thee in thoughts unlikely,
In likely thoughts the other kills thee quickly.
Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought ;
Adonis lives, and Death is not to blame;
It was not she that call'd him all to nought ;
Now she adds honours to his hateful name ;
378
VENUS AND ADONIS
[Line 995-H02.
She clepes him king of graves, and grave for
kings, 995
Imperious
kings,
i supreme of all mortal things.
'No, no,' quoth she, 'sweet Death, I did but jest;
Yet pardon me, I felt a kind of fear
Whenas I met the boar, that bloody beast,
Which knows no pity, but is still severe ; 1000
Then, gentle shadow, — truth I must confess, —
I rail'd on thee, fearing my love's decease.
"Tis notmy fault; the boar provoked my tongue;
Be wreak'd on him, invisible commander; 1004
'Tis he, foul creature, that hath done thee wrong ;
I did but act, he's author of thy slander ;
Grief hath two tongues ; and never woman yet
Could rule them both without ten women's wit.'
Thus hoping that Adonis is alive,
Her rash suspect she doth extenuate ; 1010
And that his beauty may the better thrive,
With Death she humbly doth insinuate ;
Tells him of trophies, statues, tombs, and stories
His victories, his triumphs and his glories.
' Jove,' quoth she, ' how much a fool was I
To be of such a weak and silly mind 1016
To wail his death who lives and must not die
Till mutual overthrow of mortal kind!
For he being dead, with him is beauty slain.
And, beauty dead, black chaos comes again. 1020
' Fie, fie, fond love, thou art so full of fear
As one with treasure laden, hemm'd with thieves ;
Trifles unwitnessed with eye or ear
Thy coward heart with false bethinking grieves.'
Even at this word she hears a merry horn, 1025
Whereat she leaps that was but late forlorn.
As falcons to the lure, away she flies ;
The grass stoops not, she treads on it so light ;
And in her haste unfortunately spies
The foul boar's conquest on her fair delight; 1030
Which seen, her eyes, as raurder'd withthe view,
Like stars ashamed of day, themselves with-
drew ;
Or, as the snail, whose tender horns being hit.
Shrinks backward in his shelly cave with pain.
And there all smother'd up in shade doth sit, 1035
Long after fearing to creep forth again ;
So, at his bloody view, her eyes are fled
Into the deep-dark cabins of her head ;
Where they resign their office and their light
To the disposing of her troubled brain ; 1040
Who bids them still consort with ugly night,
And never wound the heart with looks again ;
Who, like a king perplexed in his throne.
By their suggestion gives a deadly groan.
Whereat each tributary subject quakes ; 1045
As when the wind, imprison'd in the ground,
Struggling for passage, earth's foundation shakes.
Which with cold terror doth men's minds con-
found.
This mutiny each part doth so surprise.
That from their dark beds once more leap her
eyes ; 1050
And being open'd threw unwilling light
Upon the wide wound that the boar had trench'd
In his soft flank ; whose wonted lily white
With purple tears, that his wound wept, was
drench'd. 10.04
No flower was nigh, no grass, herb, leaf, or weed,
But stole his blood and seem'd with him to bleed.
This solemn sympathy poor Venus noteth ;
Over one shoulder doth she hang her head ;
Dumbly she passions, franticly she doteth;
She thinks he could not die, he is not dead ; 1060
Her voice is stopp'd, her joints forget to bow ;
Her eyes are mad that they have wept till now.
Upon his hurt she looks so steadfastly
That her sight dazzling makes the wound seem
three ; 1064
And then she reprehends her mangling eye.
That makes more gashes where no breach should
be;
His face seems twain, each several limb is dou-
bled ;
For oft the eye mistakes, the brain being trou-
bled.
' IMy tongue cannot express my grief for one.
And yet,' quoth she, ' behold two Adons dead ! 1070
My sighs are blown away, my salt tears gone,
Mine eyes are turn'd to tire, my heart to lead ;
Heavy heart's lead, melt at mine eyes' red fire!
So shall I die by drops of hot desire.
'Alas, poor world,what treasure hast th-ou lost! 1075
What face remains alive that's worth the viewing?
AVhose tongue is music now? what canst thou boast
Of things long since, or any thing ensuing ?
The flowers are sweet, their colours fresh and
trim ; 1079
But true-sweet beauty lived and died with him.
'Bonnet nor veil henceforth no creature wear!
Nor sun nor wind will ever strive to kiss you ;
Having no fair to lose, you need not fear ;
The sun doth scorn you, and the wind doth hiss
you ; 1084
But when Adonis lived, sun and sharp air
Lurk'd like two thieves, to rob him of his fair.
'And therefore would he put his bonnet on.
Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peejD ;
The wind wovild blow it off, and, being gone.
Play with his locks ; then would Adonis weep ; 1090
And straight, in pity of his tender years.
They both would strive who first should dry his
tears.
' To see his face the lion walk'd along
Behind some hedge, because he would not fear him;
To recreate himself when he hath sung, 1095
The tiger would be tame and gently hear him ;
If he had spoke, the wolf would leave his prey,
And never fright the silly lamb that day.
'When he beheld his shadow jn the brook.
The fishes spread on it their golden gills ; 1100
When ho was by, the birds such pleasure took.
That some would sing, some other in their bills
Line ii 03-1 194.]
VENUS AND ADONIS
379
Would bring him mulberries and ripe-red cher-
ries ;
He fed them with his sight, thoy him with ber-
ries.
'But this foul, grim, and urchin-snouted boar, 1105
Whose downward eye still looketh for a grave,
Ne'er saw the beauteous livery that ho wore;
Witness the entertainment that he gave;
If he did see his face, why then I know 1109
He thought to kiss him, and hath kill'd him so.
"Tis true, 'tis true; thus was Adonis slain ;
He ran upon the boar with his sharp spear,
Who did not whet his teeth at him again,
But by a kiss thought to persuade him there ;
And nuzzling in his flank, the loving swins 1115
Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin.
' Had I been tooth'd like him, I must confess.
With kissing him I should have kill'd him first;
But he is dead, and never did he bless
My youth with his; the more am I accurst.' 1120
With this, she falleth in the place she stood,
And stains her face with his congealed blood.
She looks upon his lips, and they are pale ;
She takes him by the hand, and that is cold ;
She whispers in his ears a heavy tale, 1125
As if they heard the woeful words she told ;
She lifts the coffer-lids tliat close his eyes,
Where, lo, two lamps, burntout, in darkness lies ;
Two glasses, where herself herself beheld
A thousand times, and now no more reflect; 1130
Their virtue lost, wherein they late excell'd,
And every beauty robb'd of his effect ;
' Wonder of time,' quoth she, ' this is my spite.
That, thou being dead, the day should yet be
light.
' Sinee thou art dead, lo, here I prophesy, 1135
Sorrow on love hereafter shall attend ;
It shall be waited on with jealousy,
Find sweet beginning but unsavoury end;
Ne'er settled equally, but higli or low, 1139
That all love's pleasure shall not match his woe.
' It shall be fickle, false, and full of fraud ;
Bud, and be blasted, in a breathing while;
The bottom poison, and the top o'erstraw'd
With sweets that shall the truest sight beguile ;
The strongest body shall it make most weak, 1145
Strike the wise dumb, and teach the fool to speak.
' It shall he sparing and too full of riot,
Teaching decrepit age to tread the measures;
The staring ruffian shall it keep in quiet,
Pluck down the rich, enrich the poor with treas-
ures ; 1150
It shall be raging-mad, and silly-mild,
Make the young old, the old become a child.
' It shall suspect where is no cause of fear ;
It shall not fear where it should most mistrust ;
It shall be merciful and too severe, 1155
And most deceiving when it seems most just;
Perverse it shall be where it shows most toward,
Put fear to valour, courage to the coward.
' It shall be cause of war and dire events.
And set dissension 'twixt the son and sii'e; 1160
Subject and servile to all discontents.
As dry combustions matter is to fire ;
Sith in his prime death doth my love destroy,
They that love best their loves shall not enjoy.'
By this the boy that by her side lay kill'd 1165
Was melted like a vapour from her sight.
And in his blood, that on the ground lay spill'd,
A purple flower sprung up, cliequer'd with white,
Resembling well his pale cheeks and the blood
Which in round drops upon their whiteness
stood. 1170
She bows her head, the new-sprung flower to smell,
Comparing it to her Adonis' breath ;
And says, within her bosom it shall dwell,
Since he himself is reft from her by death ;
She crops the stalk, and in the breach appears
Green-dropping sap, which she compares to
tears. 1176
' Poor flower,' quoth she, ' this was thy father's
guise, —
Sweet issue of a more sweet-smelling sire, —
For every little grief to wet his eyes ;
To grow unto himself was his desire, 1180
And so 'tis thine ; but know, it is as good
To wither in my breast as in his blood.
' Here was thy father's bed, here in my breast ;
Thou art the next of blood, and 'tis thy right ;
Lo, in this hollow cradle take thy rest; 1185
My throbbing heart shall rock thee day and night ;
There shall not be one minute in an hour
Wherein I will not kiss my sweet love's flower.'
Thus weary of the world, away she hies, 1189
And yokes her silver doves ; by whose swift aid
Their mistress, mounted, through the empty skies
In her light chariot quickly is conve)''d ;
Holding their course to Paphos, where their
queen
Means to immure herself and not be seen.
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
From the besieged Ardea all in post,
Borne by the trustless wings of false desire,
Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host,
And to Collatium bears the lightless fire
Which, in pale embers hid, lurks to aspire 5
And girdle with embracing flames the waist
Of Collatiue's fair love, Lucrece the chaste.
Haply that name of 'chaste' unhappily set
This bateless edge on his keen appetite ;
When CoUatine unwisely did not let 10
To praise the clear unmatched red and white
Which triumph'd in that sky of his delight,
Where mortal stars, as bright as heaven's beau-
ties.
With pure aspects did him peculiar duties.
For he the night before, in Tarquin's tent, 15
Unlock'd the treasure of his happy state ;
What priceless wealth the heavens had him lent
In the possession of his beateous mate ;
Beckoning his fortune at such high-proud rate.
That kings might be espoused to more fame, 20
But king nor peer to such a peerless dame.
O happiness enjoy'd but of a few !
And, if possess'd, as soon decay'd and done •
As is the morning's silver-melting dew
Against the golden splendour of the sun ! 25
An expired date, eanceU'd ere well begun :
Honour and beauty, in the owner's arms.
Are weakly fortress'd from a world of harms.
Beauty itself doth of itself persuade
The eyes of men without an orator ; 30
What needeth then apologies be made,
To set forth that which is so singular ? .
Or why is Collatine the publisher
Of that rich jewel he should keep unknown
From thievish ears, because it is his own ? 35
Perchance his boast of Lucrece' sovereignty
Suggested this proud issue of a king ;
For by our ears our hearts oft tainted be ;
Perchance that envy of so rich a thing,
Braving compare, disdainfully did sting 40
His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men
should vaunt
That golden hap which their superiors want.
But some untimely thought did instigate
His all-too-timeless speed, if none of those ;
His honour, his affairs, his friends, his state, 45
Neglected all, with swift intent he goes
To quench the coal which in his liver glows.
O rash-false heat, wrapp'd in repentant cold,
Thy hasty spring still blasts, and ne'er grows
old!
When at Collatium this false lord arrived, 50
Well was he welcomed by the Roman dame.
Within whose face beauty and virtue strived
Which of them both should underprop her fame ;
When virtue bragg'd, beauty would blush for
shame ;
When beauty boasted blushes, in despite 55
Virtue would stain that o'er with silver white.
But beauty, iii that white intituled.
From Venus' doves doth challenge that fair field;
Then virtue claims from beauty beauty's red,
Which virtue gave the goldeu age to gild 60
Their silver cheeks, and call'd it then their shield i
Teaching them thus to use it in the fight.
When shame assail'd, the red should fence the
white.
This heraldry in Lucrece' face was seen.
Argued by beauty's red and virtue's white; 65
Of cither's colour was the other queen.
Proving from world's minority their right ;
Yet their ambition makes them still to tight;
The sovereignty of either being so great.
That oft they interchange each other's seat. 70
This silent war of lilies and of roses.
Which Tarquin view'd in her fair face's field,
In their pure ranks his traitor eye encloses ;
Where, lest between them both it should be kill'd,
The coward captive vanquished doth yield 75
To those two armies, that would let him go
Rather than triumph in so false a foe.
Now thinks he that her husband's shallow tongue.
The niggard prodigal that praised her so,
In that high task hath done her beauty wrong, 80
Which far exceeds his barren skill to show ;
Therefore that praise which Collatine doth owe
Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise,
In silent wonder of still-gazing eyes.
This earthly saint, adored by this devil, 85
Little suspecteth the false worshipper ;
For unstain'd thoughts do seldom dream on evil ;
Birds never limed no secret bushes fear ;
So guiltless she securely gives good cheer
And reverend welcome to her princely guest, 90
Whose inward ill no outward harm express'd ;
For that he colour'd with his high estate,
Hiding base sin in plaits of majesty ;
That nothing in him seem'd inordinate.
Save sometime too much wonder of his eye, 95
Which, having all, all could not satisfy ;
But, poorly rich, so wanteth in his store,
That, cloy'd with much, he pineth still for more.
Line 99-215.]
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
381
But she, that never coped with stranger eyes,
Could pick no meaning from their parting looks.
Nor read the subtle-shining secrecies 101
Writ in the glassy margents of such books;
She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no
hooks ;
Nor could she moralize his wanton sight,
More than his eyes were open'd to the light. 105
He stories to herears her husband's fame.
Won in the fields of fruitful Italy ;
And decks with praises Collatine's high name.
Made glorious by his manly chivalry
With bruised arms and wreaths of victory ; 110
Her joy with heaved-up hand she doth express,
And wordless so greets heaven for his success.
Far from the purpose of his coming hither.
He makes excuses for his being there ;
No cloudy show of stormy blustering weather
Doth yet in his fair welkin once appear ; 116
Till sable Night, mother of dread and fear,
Upon the world dim darkness doth display,
And in her vanity prison stows the day.
For then is Tarquin brought unto his bed, 120
Intending weariness with heavy spright ;
For after supper long he questioned
With modest Lucrece, and wore out the night ;
Now leaden slumber with life's strength doth
light;
And every one to rest themselves betake, 125
Save thieves and cares and troubled minds that
wake.
As one of which doth Tarquin lie revolving
The sundry dangers of his will's obtaining ;
Yet ever to obtain his will resolving,
Though weak-built hopes persuade him to ab-
staining ; 1.30
Despair to gain doth traffic oft for gaining.
And when great treasure is the meed proposed.
Though death be adjunct, there's no death sup-
posed.
Those that much covet are with gain so fond
That what they have not, that which they possess,
They scatter and unloose it from their bond, 136
And so, by hoping more, they have but less ;
Or, gaining more, the proiit of excess
Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain,
That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
The aim of all is but to nurse the life 141
With honour, wealth, and ease, in waning age ;
And in this aim there is such thwarting strife
That one for all or all for one we gage ;
As life for honour in fell battle's rage ; 145
Honour for wealth ; and oft that wealth doth cost
The death of all, and all together lost.
So that in venturing ill we leave to be
The things we are for that which we expect ;
And this ambitious, foul infirmity, 150
In having much, torments us with defect
Of that we have ; so then we do neglect
The thing we have, and, all for want of wit.
Make something nothing by augmenting it.
Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make.
Pawning his honor to obtain his lust ; 156
And for himself himself he must forsake;
Then where is truth, if there be no self-trust?
When shall he think to find a stranger just.
When he himself himself confounds, betrays
To slanderous tongues and wretched hateful
days ? 161
Now stole upon the time the dead of night,
When heavy sleep had closed up mortal eyes;
No comfortable star did lend his light, 164
No noise but owls' and wolves' death-boding cries;
Now serves the season that they may surprise
The silly lambs : pure thoughts are dead and still,
While lust and murder wakes to stain and kill.
And now this lustful lord leap'd from his bed.
Throwing his mantle rudely o'er his arm ; 170
Is madly toss'd between desire and dread ;
Th' one sweetly flatters, th' other feareth harm ;
But honest fear, bewitch'd with lust's foul charm,
Doth too too oft betake him to retire.
Beaten away by brain-sick rude desire. 175
His falchion on a flint he softly sniiteth.
That from the cold stone sparks of fire do fly ;
Whereat a waxen torch forthwith he lighteth,
Which must be lode-star to his lustful eye ;
And to the flame thus speaks advisedly : 180
' As from this cold flint I enforced this fire,
So Lucrece must I force to my desire.'
Here pale with fear he doth premeditate
The dangers of his loathsome enterijrise.
And in his inward mind he doth debate 185
What following sorrow may on this arise;
Then looking scornfully he doth despise
His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust.
And justly thus controls his thoughts unjust:
' Fair torch, burn out thy light, and lend it not
To darken her whose light excelleth thine ; 191
And die, unhallow'd thoughts, before you blot
With your uncleanness that which is divine ;
Offer pure incense to so pure a shrine ;
Let fair humanity abhor the deed 195
That spots and stains love's modest snow-white
weed.
' O shame to knighthood and to shining arms!
O foul dishonour to my household's grave !
O impious act, including all foul harms !
A martial man to be soft fancy's slave ! 200
True valour still a true respect should have ;
Then my digression is so vile, so base,
That it will live engraven in my face.
' Yea, though I die, the scandal will survive,
A.nd be an eye-sore in my golden coat ; 205
Some loathsome dash the herald will contrive,
To cipher me how fondly I did dote ;
That my posterity, shamed with the note.
Shall curse my bones, and hold it for no sin
To wish that I their father had not bin. 210
' What win I, if I gain the thing I seek ?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy? 214
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?

Or what foud beggar, but to touch the crown,
Would with the sceptre straight be strucken
down?
' If CoUatinus dream of my intent,
Will he not wake, and in a desperate rage
Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? 220
This siege that hath engirt his marriage,
This blur to youth, this sorrow to the sage,
This dying virtue, this surviving shame,
Whose crime will bear an ever-during blame?
' O what excuse can my invention make, 225
When thou shalt cliarge me with so black a deed?
Will not my tongue be mute, my frail joints shake.
Mine eyes forego their light, my false heart bleed ?
The guilt being great, the fear doth still exceed ;
And extreme fear can neither fight nor fly, 230
But coward-like with trembling terror die.
' Had CoUatinus kill'd my son or sire,
Or lain in ambush to betray my life.
Or were he not my dear friend, this desire
Might have excuse to work upon his wife, 235
As in revenge or quittal of such strife ;
But as he is my kinsman, my dear friend,
The shame and fault finds no excuse nor end.
' Shameful it is ; ay, if the fact be known ;
Hateful it is ; there is no hate in loving; 240
I'll beg her love ; but she is not her own ;
The worst is but denial and reproving ;
My will is strong, past reason's weak removing.
Who fears a sentence or an old man's saw
Shall by a painted cloth be kept in awe.' 245
Thus graceless holds he disputation
'Tween frozen conscience and hot-burning will.
And with good thoughts makes dispensation.
Urging the worser sense for vantage still ;
Which in a moment doth confound and kill 250
All pure effects, and doth so far proceed
That what is vile shows like a virtuous deed.
Quoth he, ' She took me kindly by the hand,
And gazed for tidings in my eager eyes,
Fearing some hard news from the warlike band,
Where her beloved CoUatinus lies. 256
O, how her fear did make her colour rise !
First red as roses that on lawn we lay.
Then white as lawn, the roses took away.
'And how her hand, in my hand being lock'd, 260
Forced it to tremble with her loyal fear !
Which struck her sad, and then it faster rock'd.
Until her husband's welfare she did hear ;
Whereat she smiled with so sweet a cheer
That had Narcissus seen her as she stood 265
Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood.
' Wliy hunt I then for colour or excuses?
All orators are dumb when beauty pleadeth ;
Poor wretches have remorse in poor abuses ;
Love thrives not in the heart that shadows dread-
eth ; 270
Affection is my captain, and he leadeth ;
And when his gaudy banner is display'd,
The coward fights, and will not be dismay'd.
' Then, childish fear, avauut ! debating, die !
Eespect and reason wait on wrinkled age ! 275
My heart shall never countermand mine eye ;
Sad pause and deep regard beseems the sage ;
My part is youth, and beats these from the stage ;
Desire my pilot is, beauty my prize;
Then who fears sinking where such treasure
lies?' 280
As corn o'ergrown by weeds, so heedful fear
Is almost choked by unresisted lust.
Away he steals with open listening ear.
Full of foul hope and full of fond mistrust ;
Both which, as servitors to the unjust, 285
So cross him with their opposite persuasion.
That now he vows a league, and now invasion.
Within his thought her heavenly image sits,
And in the self-same seat sits Collatine ;
That eye which looks on her confounds his wits;
That eye which him beholds, as more divine, 291
Unto a view so false will not incline ;
But witlr a pure appeal seeks to the heart,
Which once corrupted takes the worser part ;
And therein heartens up his servile powers, 295
Who, flatter'd by their leader's jocund show,
Stuff up his lust, as minutes fill up hours ;
And as their captain, so their pride doth grow,
Paying more slavish tribute than they owe.
By reprobate desire thus madly led, 300
The Koman lord marcheth to Lucrece' bed.
The locks between her chamber and his will,
Each one by him enforced, retires his ward;
But, as they open, they all rate his ill, 304
Which drives the creeping thief to some regard ;
The threshold grates the door to have him heard ;
Night-wandering weasels shriek to see him
there ;
They fright him, yet he still pursues his fear.
As each unwilling portal yields him way.
Through little vents and crannies of the place 310
The wind wars with his torch to make him stay.
And blows the smoke of it into his face.
Extinguishing his conduct in this case;
But his hot heart, which fond desire doth scorch,
Puffs forth another wind that fires the torch ; 315
And being lighted, by the light he spies
Lucretia's glove, wherein her needle sticks ;
He takes it from the rushes where it lies.
And griping it, the needle his finger pricks; 319
As who should say, ' This glove to wanton tricks
Is not inured ; return again in haste ;
Thou see'st our mistress' ornaments are chaste.'
But all these poor forbiddiugs could not stay him ;
He in the worst sense construes their denial ;
The doors, the wind, the glove, that did delay him,
He takes for accidental things of trial ; 326
Or as those bars which stop the hourly dial,
Who with a lingering stay his course doth let,
Till every minute pays the hour his debt.
' So, so,' quoth he, ' these lets attend the time, 330
Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring,

TFIE RAPE OF LUCRECE
383
To add a more rejoicing to the prime,
And give tlie sneaped birds more cause to sing,
Pain pays tlie income of each precious thing;
Huge rocks, high winds, strong pirates, shelves,
and sands, 335
The merchant fears, ere rich at home he lands.'
Now is he come unto the chamber door.
That shuts him from the heaven of his thought,
Which with a j'ielding latch, and with no more,
Hath barr'd him from the blessed thing he sought.
So from himself impiety hath wrought, 341
That for his prey to pray he doth begin.
As if the heavens should countenance his sin.
But in the midst of his unfruitful prayer,
Having solicited the eternal power 3-15
That his foul thoughts might compass his fair fair.
And they would stand auspicious to the hour.
Even there he starts: quoth he 'I must deflower;
The powers to whom I pray abhor this fact ;
How can they then assist me in the act ? 350
' Then Love and Fortune be my gods, my guide !
My will is baok'd with resolution ;
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects be tried ;
The blackest sin is clear'd with absolution ; 354
Against love's fire fear's frost hath dissolution.
The eye of heaven is out, and misty night
Covers the shame that follows sweet delight.'
This said, his guilty hand pluck'd up the latch.
And with his knee the door he opens wide.
The dove sleeps fast that this night-owl will catch ;
Thus treason works ere traitors be espied. 361
Who sees the lurking sei'pent steps aside ;
But she, sound sleeping, fearing no such thing.
Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting.
Into the chamber wickedly he stalks, 365
And gazeth on her yet unstained bed.
The curtains being close, about he walks,
Boiling his greedy eyeballs in his head ;
By their high treason is his heart misled ;
Which gives the watch-word to his hand full
soon 370
To draw the cloud that hides the silver moon.
Look, as the fair and fiery-pointed sun,
Rushing from forth a cloud, bereaves our sight ;
Even so, the curtain drawn, his eyes begun
To wink, being blinded with a greater light;
Whether it is that she reflects so bright, 376
That dazzleth them, or else some shame sup-
posed ;
But blind they are, and keep themselves en-
closed.
O, had they in that darksome prison died \
Then had they seen the period of their ill ; 380
Then Collatine again, by Lucrece' side,
In his clear bed might have reposed still ;
But they must ope, this blessed league to kill ;
And holy-thoughted Lucrece to their sight
Must sell her joy, her life, her world's delight.
Her lily hand her rosy cheek lies under, 386
Cozening the pillow of a lawful kiss;
Who, therefore angry, sesms to part in sunder,
Swelling on either side to want his bliss ;
Between whose bills her head entombed is; 390
Where, like a virtuous monument, she lies,
To be admired of lewd unhallowed eyes.
Without the bed her other fair hand was.
On the green coverlet ; whose perfect white
Show'd like an April daisy on the grass, 395
With pearly sweat, resembling dew of night.
Her eyes, like marigolds, had sheathed their light.
And canopied in darkness sweetly lay,
Till they might open to adorn the day.
Her hair, like golden threads, play'd with her
breath ; 400
modest wantons ! wanton modesty !
Showing life's triumph in the map of death,
And death's dim look in life's mortality ;
Each in her sleep themselves so beautify 404
As if between them twain there were no strife,
But that life lived in death and death in life.
Her breasts, like ivory globes circled with blue,
A pair of maiden worlds unconquered,
Save of their lord no bearing yoke they knew.
And him by oath they truly honoured. 410
These worlds in Tarquin new ambition bred ;
Who, like a foul usurper, went about
From this fair throne to heave the owner out.
What could he see but mightily he noted ?
What did he note but strongly he desired? 415
What he beheld, on that he firmly doted,
And in his will his wilful eye he tired.
With more than admiration he admired
Her azure veins, her alabaster skin, 419
Her coral lips, her snow-white dimpled chin.
As the grim lion fawneth o'er his prey.
Sharp hunger by the conquest satisfied.
So o'er this sleeping soul doth Tarquin stay.
His rage of lust by gazing qualified ; 424
Slack'd, not suppress'd ; for standing by her side.
His eye, which late this mutiny restrains.
Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins ;
And they, like straggling slaves for pillage fight-
ing.
Obdurate vassals fell exploits effecting, 429
In bloody death and ravishment delighting.
Nor children's tears nor mothers' groans respect-
ing,
Swell in their pride, the onset still expecting;
Anon his beating heart, alarum striking.
Gives the hot charge, and bids them do their
liking.
His drumming heart cheers up his burning eye.
His eye commends the leading to his hand ; 438
His hand, as proud of such a dignity.
Smoking with pride, march'd on to make his stand
On her bare breast, the heart of all her land ;
Whose ranks of blue veins, as his hand did scale,
Left their round turrets destitute aud pale. 441
They, mustering to the quiet cabinet
Where their dear governess and lady lies.
Do tell her she is dreadfully beset, 444
And fright her with confusion of their cries;
She, much amazed, breaks ope her lock'd-up eyes,

THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
[Line 447-560.
Who, peeping forth this tumult to behold,
Are by his flaming torch dimm'd and controll'd.
Imagine her as one in dead of night 449
From forth dull sleep by dreadful fancy waking.
That thinks she hath beheld some ghastly sprite,
Whose grim aspect sets every joiut a-shaking ;
What terror 'tis, but she, in worser taking.
From sleep disturbed, heedfully doth view 454
The sight which makes supposed terror true.
Wrapp'd and confounded in a thousand fears,
Like to a new-kill'd bird she trembling lies ;
She dares not look ; yet, winking, there appears
Quick-shifting antics, ugly in her eyes ; 459
Such shadows are the weak brain's forgeries ;
Who, angry that the eyes fly from their lights.
In darkness daunts them with more dreadful
sights.
His hand, that yet remains upon her breast, —
Exide ram, to batter such an ivory wall I —
May feel her heart, poor citizen ! distress'd, 465
Wounding itself to death, rise up and fall,
Beating her bulk, that his hand shakes withal.
This moves in him more rage and lesser pity.
To make the breach and enter this sweet city.
First, like a trumpet, doth his tongue begin 470
To sound a parley to his heartless foe ;
Who o'er the white sheet peers her whiter chin.
The reason of this rash alarm to know.
Which he by dumb demeanour seeks to show ;
But she with vehement prayers urgeth still
Under what colour he commits this ill. 476
Thus he replies : ' The colour in thy face.
That even for anger makes the lily pale
And the red rose blush at her own disgrace.
Shall plead for me and tell my loving tale ; 480
Under that colour am I come to scale
Thy never-conquer'd fort ; the fault is thine,
For those thine eyes betray thee unto mine.
' Thus I forestall thee, if thou mean to chide :
Thy beauty hath ensnared thee to this night, 485
Where thou with patience must my will abide ;
My will that marks thee for my earth's delight,
Which I to conquer sought with all my might ;
But as reproof and reason beat it dead,
By thy bright beauty was it newly bred. 490
' I see what crosses my attempt will bring ;
I know what thorns the growing rose defends ;
I think the honey guarded with a sting ;
All this beforehand counsel comprehends ; 494
But will is deaf and hears no heedful friends ;
Only he hath an eye to gaze on beauty.
And dotes on what he looks, 'gainst law or duty.
■ I have debated, even in my soul.
What wrong, what shame, what sorrow I shall
breed ;
But nothing can aifection's course control, 500
Or stop the headlong fury of his speed.
[ know repentant tears ensue the deed,
Reproach, disdain, and deadly enmity;
Yet stiiva I to embrace mine infamy.'
This said, he shakes aloft his Roman blade, 505
Which, like a falcon towering in the skies,
Coucheth the fowl below with his wings' shade,
Whose crooked beak threats if he mount he dies ;
So under his insulting falchion lies 509
Harmless Lucretia, marking what he tells
With trembling fear, as fowl hear falcon's bells.
' Lucrece,' quoth he, ' this night I must enjoy thee ;
If thou deny, then force must work my way.
For in thy bed I purpose to destroy thee ;
That done, some worthless slave of thine I'll slay,
To kill thine honour with thy life's decay ; 516
And in thy dead arms do I mean to place him.
Swearing I slew him, seeing thee embrace him.
' So thy surviving husband shall remain
The scornful mark of every open eye ; 520
Thy kinsmen hang their heads at this disdain,
Thy issue blurr'd with nameless bastardy ;
And thou, the author of their obloquy,
Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes
And sung by children in succeeding times.
' But if thou yield, I rest thy secret friend ; 525
The fault unknown is as a thought unacted;
A little harm done to a great good end
For lawful policy remains enacted.
The poisonous simple sometime is compacted
In a pure comijound ; being so applied, 531
His venom in effect is purified.
' Then, for thy husband and thy children's sake,
Tender my suit ; bequeath not to their lot
The shame that from them no device can take,
The blemish that will never be forgot ; 536
Worse than a slavish wipe or birth-hour's blot ;
For marks descried in men's nativity
Are nature's faults, not their own infamy.'
Here with a cockatrice' dead-killing eye 540
He rouseth up himself, and makes a pause ;
While she, the picture of true piety.
Like a white hind under the gripe's sharp claws,
Pleads, in a wilderness where are no laws,
To the rough beast that knows no gentle right.
Nor aught obeys but his foul appetite. 546
But when a black-faced cloud the world doth
threat.
In his dim mist the aspiring mountains hiding,
From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get.
Which blows these pitchy vapours from their bid-
ing, 550
Hindering their present fall by this dividing ;
So his unhallow'd haste her words delays.
And moody Pluto winks while Orpheus plays.
Yet, foul night-waking cat, he doth but dally,
While in his hold-fast foot the weak mouse pant-
eth ; 555
Her sad behaviour feeds his vulture folly,
A swallowing gulf that even in plenty wauteth ;
His ear her prayers admits, but his heart granteth
No penetrable entrance to her plaining;
Tears harden lust, though marble wear with
1 raining. 560

THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
385
Her pity-pleading eyes are sadly iixed
In the remorseless wrinkles of his face ;
Her modest eloquence with sighs is mixed,
Which to her oratory adds more grace.
She puts the period often from his place, 565
And midst the sentence so her accent breaks
That twice she doth begin ere once she speaks.
She conjures him by high almighty Jove,
By knighthood, gentry, and sweet friendship's
oath,
By her untimely tears, her husband's love, 570
By holy human law and common troth.
By heaven and earth, and all the power of both.
That to his borrow'd bed he make retire,
And stoop to honour, not to foul desire.
Quoth she, ' Reward not hospitality 575
With such black payment as thou hast pretended ;
Mud not the fountain that gave drink to thee ;
Mar not the thing that cannot be amended ;
End thy ill aim before thy shoot be ended ;
He is no woodman that doth bend his bow
To strike a poor unseasonable doe. 581
' My husband is thy friend ; for his sake spare me ;
Thyself art mighty ; for thine own sake leave me ;
Myself a weakling; do not then ensnare me;
Thou look'st not like deceit ; do not deceive me.
My sighs, like whirlwinds, labour hence to heave
thee ; 586
If ever man were moved with woman's moans.
Be moved with my tears, my sighs, my groans;
'All which together, like a troubled ocean,
Beat at thy rocky and wreck-threatening heart,
To soften it with their continual motion ; 591
For stones dissolved to water do convert.
O, if no harder than a stone thou art.
Melt at my tears, and be compassionate !
Soft pity enters at an iron gate. 595
' In Tarquin's likeness I did entertain thee ;
Hast thou put on his shape to do him shame ?
To all the host of heaven I complain me.
Thou wrong'st his honour, wouud'st his princely
name. 599
Thou art not what thou seem'st ; and if the same.
Thou seem'st not what thou art, a god, a king;
For kings, like gods, should govern every thing.
' How will thy shame be seeded in thine age.
When thus thy vices bud before thy spring!
If in thy hope thou darest do such outrage, 605
What darest thou not when once thou art a king?
O, be remember'd, no outrageous thing
From vassal actors can be wiped away ;
Then kings' misdeeds cannot be hid in clay. i
'This deed will make thee only loved for fear;
But happy monarchs still are fear'd for love ;
With foul offenders thou perforce must bear, 612
When they in thee the like offences prove;
If but for fear of this, thy will remove ;
For princes are the glass, the school, the book.
Where subjects' eyes do learn, do read, do look.
'And wilt thou be the school where Lust shall
learn? 617
Must he in thee read lectures of such shame?
Wilt thou be glass wherein it shall discern
25
Authority for sin, warrant for blame, 620
To privilege dishonour in thy name?
Thou back'st reproach against long-living laud.
And makest fair reputation but a bawd.
' Hast thou command ? by him that gave it thee,
From a pure heart command thy rebel will ; 625
Draw not thy sword to guard iniquity,
For it was lent thee all that brood to kill.
Thy princely office how canst thou fulfil.
When, pattern'd by thy fault, foul sin may say
He learn'd to sin and thou didst teach the way?
' Think but how vile a spectacle it were, 631
To view thy present trespass in another.
Men's faults do seldom to themselves appear ;
Their own transgressions partially they smother ;
This guilt would seem death-worthy in thy bro-
ther.
0, how are they wrapp'd in with infamies
That from their own misdeeds askance their
eyes ! 637
' To thee, to thee, my heaved-up hands appeal.
Not to seducing lust, thy rash relier ;
I sue for exiled majesty's repeal ; 640
Let him return, and flattering thoughts retire ;
His true respect will prison false desire.
And wipe the dim mist from thy doting eyne.
That thou shalt see thy state and pity mine.'
'Have done,' quoth he; 'my uncontrolled tide
Turns not, but swells the higher by this let. 646
Small lights are soon blown out, huge fires abide.
And with the wind in greater fury fret ;
The petty streams that pay a daily debt
To their salt sovereign, with their fresh falls'
haste 650-
Add to his flow, but alter not his taste.'
' Thou art,' quoth she, ' a sea, a sovereign king
And, lo, there falls into thy boundless flood
Black lust, dishonour, shame, misgoverning.
Who seek to stain the ocean of thy blood. (i55i.
If all these petty ills shall change thy good,
Thy sea within a puddle's womb is hearsed.
And not the puddle in thy sea dispersed.
' So shall these slaves be king, and thou their slave; :
Thou nobly base, they basely dignified ; 660
Thou their fair life, and they thy fouler grave ;
Thou loathed in their shame, they in thy pride ;
The lesser thing should not the greater hide ;
The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot,
But low shrubs wither at the cedar's root. 655'
' So let thy thoughts, low vassals to thy state' —
'No more,' quoth he; 'by heaven, I will not hear
thee;
Yield to my love ; if not, enforced hate.
Instead of love's coy touch, shall rudely tear thee ;
That done, despitefuUy I mean to bear thee 670
Unto the base bed of some rascal groom.
To be thy partner in this shameful doom.'
This said, he sets his foot upon the light,
For light and lust are deadly enemies ;
Shame folded up in blind concealing night, 675
When most unseen, then most doth tyrannize.
The wolf hath seized his prey, the poor lamb cries;
Till with her own white fleece her voice eon-
tr ll'd
Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold ;

For with the nightly linen that she wears 680
He pens her piteous clamours in her head,
Cooling his hot face in the chastest tears
That ever modest eyes with sorrow shed.
0, that prone lust should stain so pure a bed !
The spots whereof could weeping purify, 685
Her tears should drop on them perpetually.
But she hath lost a dearer thing than life,
And he hath won what he would lose again ;
This forced league doth force a further strife ;
This momentary joy breeds months of pain ;
This hot desire converts to cold disdain ; 690
Pure Chastity is rifled of her store,
And Lust, the thief, far poorer than before.
Look, as the full-fed hound or gorged hawk
Unapt for tender smell or speedy flight, 695
Make slow pursuit, or altogether balk
The prey wherein by nature they delight,
So surfeit-taking Tarquin fares this night :
His taste delicious, in digestion souring, 699
Devours his will, that lived by foul devouring.
O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit
Can comprehend in still imagination !
Drunken Desire must vomit his receipt.
Ere he can see his own abomination.
While Lust is in his pride, no exclamation 705
Can curb his heat or rein his rash desire.
Till, like a jade. Self-will himself doth tire.
And then with lank and lean discolour'd cheek.
With heavy eye, knit brow, and strengthless pace.
Feeble Desire, all recreant, poor, and meek, 710
Like to a bankrupt beggar wails his case :
The flesh being proud. Desire doth fight with
Grace,
For there it revels, and when that decays
The guOty rebel for remission prays.
So fares it with this faultful lord of Rome, 715
Who this accomplishment so hotly chassd ;
For now against himself he sounds this doom.
That through the length of times he stands dis-
graced ;
Besides, his soul's fair temple is defaced, 719
To whose weak ruins muster troops of cares.
To ask the spotted princess how she fares.
She says, her subjects with foul insurrection
Have batter'd down her consecrated wall.
And by their mortal fault brought in subjection
Her immortality, and made her thrall 725
To living death and pain perpetual;
Which in her prescience she controlled still.
But her foresight could not forestall their will.
Even in this thought through the dark night he
stealeth,
A captive victor that hath lost in gain ; 730
Bearing away the wound that nothing healeth.
The scar that will, despite of cure, remain;
Leaving his spoil perplex'd in greater pain.
She bears the load of lust he left behind.
And he the burthen of a guilty mind. 7.35
He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence ;
She like a wearied lamb lies panting there;
He scowls, and hates himself for his offence ;
She, desperate, with her nails her flesh doth tear;
He faintly flies, sweating with guilty fear ; 740
She stays, exclaiming on the direful night ;
He runs, and chides his vanish'd, loathed de-
light.
He thence departs a heavy convertite ;
She there remains a hopeless cast-away ;
He in his speed looks for the morning light; 745
She prays she never may behold the day,
' For day,' quoth she, ' night's 'scapes doth open
lay.
And my true eyes have never practiced how
To cloak oflfences with a cunning brow.
' They think not but that every eye can see 750
The same disgrace which they themselves behold ;
And therefore would they still in darkness be.
To have their unseen sin remain untold ;
For they their guilt with weeping will unfold.
And grave, like water that doth eat in steel,
Upon my cheeks what helpless shame I feel.'
Here she exclaims against repose and rest, 757
And bids her eyes hereafter still be blind.
She wakes her heart by beating on her breast.
And bids it leap from thence, where it may find
Some purer chest to close so pure a mind. 761
Frantic with grief thus breathes she forth her
spite
Against the unseen secrecy of night :
' comfort-killing Night, image of hell !
Dim register and notary of shame! 765
Black stage for tragedies and murders fell !
Vast sin-concealing chaos ! nurse of blame !
Blind, muflled bawd ! dark harbour for defame !
Grim cave of death! whispering conspirator
With close-tongued treason and the ravisher !
' O hateful, vaporous, and foggy Night ! 771
Since thou art guilty of my cureless crime,
Muster thy mists to meet the eastern light,
Make war against proijortion'd course of time ;
Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb 775
His wonted height, yet ere he go to bed.
Knit poisonous clouds about his golden head.
' With rotten damps ravish the morning air ;
Let their exhaled unwholesome breaths make sick
The life of purity, the supreme fair, 780
Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick ;
And let thy misty vapours march so thick
That in their smoky ranks his smother'd light
May set at noon and make perpetual night !
' Were Tarquin Night, as he is but Night's child,
The silver-shining queen he would distain ; 783
Her twinkling handmaids too, by him defiled.
Through Night's black bosom should not peep
again ;
So should I have co-partners in my pain ; 789
And fellowship in woe doth woe assuage.
As palmers' chat makes short their pilgrimage.
' Where now T have no one to blush with me,
To cross their arms and hang their heads with
mine,
To mask their brows and hide their infamy ;
But I alone alone must sit and pine, 795
Seasoning the earth with showers of silver brine,
Mingling my talk with tears, my grief with
groans.
Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans.

For Collatine's dear love be kept unspotted; 821
If that be made a theme for disputation.
The branches of another root are rotted.
And undeserved reproach to him allotted
That is as clear from this attaint of mine
As I, ere this, was pure to Collatine. 826
' O unseen shame ! invisible disgrace !
O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar!
Reproach is stamp'd in CoUatinus' face.
And Tarquin's eye may read the mot afar, 830
How he in peace is wounded, not in war.
Alas, how many bear such shameful blows.
Which not themselves, but he that gives them
knows !
' If, Collatine, thine honour lay in me,
From me by strong assault it is bereft. 835
My honey lost, and I, a drone-like bee,
Have no perfection of ray summer left,
But robb'd and ransack'd by injurious theft ;
In thy weak hive a wandering wasp hatli crept.
And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee
kept. 840
' Yet am I guilty of thy honour's wrack ;
Yet for thy honour did I entertain him ;
Coming from thee, I could not put him back,
For it had been dishonour to disdain him ;
Besides, of weariness he did complain him, 845
And talk'd of virtue : O unlook'd-for evil.
When virtue is profaned in such a devil !
'Why should the worm intrude the maiden bud?
Or hateful cuckoos hatch in sparrows' nests ?
Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud ?
Or tyrant folly lurk in gentle breasts? 851
Or kings be breakers of their own behests ?
But no perfection is so absolute
That some impurity doth not pollute.
' The aged man that coffers up his gold 855
Is plagued with cramps and gouts and painful fits.
And scarce hath eyes his treasure to behold,
But like still-pining Tantalus he sits
And useless barns the harvest of his wits,
Having no other pleasure of his gain 860
But torment that it cannot cure his pain.
' So then he hath it when he cannot use it,
And leaves it to be master'd by his young;
Who in their pride do presently abuse it ;
Their father was too weak, and they too strong.
To hold their cursed-blessed fortune long. 863
The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours
Even in the moment that we call them ours.
' Unruly blasts wait on the tender spring ;
Unwholesome weeds take root with precious flow-
ers ; 870
The adder hisses where the sweet birds sing ;
What virtue breeds iniquity devours;
We have no good that we can say is ours
But ill-annexed Opportunity
Or kills his life or else his quality. 875
' Opportunity, thy guilt is great!
'Tis thou that executest the traitor's treason ;
Thou set'st the wolf where he the lamb may get ;
Whoever plots the sin, thou point'st the season ;
'Tis thou that spurn'st at right, at law, at reason ;
And in thy shady cell, where none may spy him.
Sits Sin, to seize the souls that wander by him.
' Thou makest the vestal violate her oath ; 883
Thou blow'st the fire when temperance is thaw'd ;
Thou smother'st honesty, thou murder'st troth ;
Thou foul abettor ! thou notorious bawd I 886
Thou plautest scandal and displacest laud ;
Thou ravisher, thou traitor, thou false thief,
Thy honey turns to gall, thy joy to grief!
' Thy secret pleasure turns to open shame, 890
Thy private feasting to a public fast,
Tliy smoothing titles to a ragged name.
Thy sugar'd tongue to bitter wormwood taste;
Thy violent vanities can never last.
How comes it then, vile Opportunity, 895
Being so bad, such numbers seek for thee?
' When wilt thou be the humble suppliant's friend.
And bring him where his suit may be obtained ?
When wilt thou sort an hour great strifes to end ?
Or free that soul which wretchedness hatli
chained ? 900
Give physic to the sick, ease to the pained ?
The poor, lame, blind, halt, creep, cry out for
thee;
But they ne'er meet with Opportunity.
' The patient dies while the physician sleeps ;
The orphan pines while the oppressor feeds ;
Justice is feasting while the widow weeps ; 906
Advice is sporting while infection breeds ;
Thou grant'st no time for charitable deeds ;
Wrath, envy, treason, rape, and murder's rages.
Thy heinous hours wait on them as their pages.
' AVTien Truth and Virtue have to do with thee,
A thousand crosses keep them from thy aid ; 912
They buy thy help, but Sin ne'er gives a fee ;
He gratis comes, and thou art well appaid
As well to hear as grant what he hath said.

THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
[Line 916-1032,
My Collatine would else have come to me 916
When Tarquin did, but he was stay'd by thee.
' Guilty thou art of murder and of theft,
Guilty of perjury and subornation,
Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, 920
Guilty of incest, that abomination ;
An accessory by thine inclination
To all sins past and all that are to come,
From the creation to the general doom.
' Mis-shapen Time, copesmate of ugly Night,
Swift subtle post, carrier of grisly care, 926
Eater of youth, false slave to false delight.
Base watch of woes, sin's pack-horse, virtue's
snare ;
Thou nursest all and murder'st all that are ;
O, hear me then, injurious shifting time ! 930
Be guilty of my death, since of my crime.
' Why hath thy servant Opportunity
Betray'd the hours thou gavest me to repose,
Cancell'd my fortunes, and enchained me
To endless date of never-ending woes? 935
Time's office is to fine the hate of foes.
To eat up errors by opinion bred.
Not spend the dowry of a lawful bed.
' Time's glory is to calm contending kings.
To unmask falsehood and bring truth to light,
To stamp the seal of time in aged things, 941
To wake the morn and sentinel the night.
To wrong the wronger till he render right.
To ruinate proud buildings with thy hours.
And smear with dust their glittering golden
towers ; 945
' To fill with worm-holes stately monuments,
To feed oblivion with decay of tilings,
To blot old books and alter their contents.
To pluck the quills from ancient ravens' wings.
To dry the old oak's sap and cherish springs,
To spoil antiquities of hammer'd steel, 951
And turn the giddy rouud of Fortune's wheel;
' To show the beldam daughters of her daughter.
To make the child a man, the man a child,
To slay the tiger that doth live by slaughter,
To tame the unicorn and lion wild, 956
To mock the subtle in themselves beguiled,
To cheer the ploughman with increaseful crops.
And waste huge stones with little water-drops.
'Why work'st thou mischief in thy pilgrimage,
Unless thou couldst return to make amends ?
One poor retiring minute in an age 952
Would purchase thee a thousand thousand friends,
Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends ;
0, this dread night, wouldst thou one hour come
back, 9f>5
I could prevent this storm and shun thy wrack !
' Thou ceaseless lackey to eternity.
With some mischance cross Tarquin in his flight;
Devise extremes beyond extremity, 969
To make him curse this cursed crimeful night ;
Let ghastly shadows his lewd eyes affright,
And the dire thought of his committed evil
Shape every bush a hideous shapeless devil.
' Disturb his hours of rest with restless trances.
Afflict him in his bed with bedrid groans ; 973
Let there bechance him pitiful mischances.
To make him moan ; but pity not his moans ;
Stone him with harden'd hearts, harder than
stones ;
And let mild women to him lose their mildness,
Wilder to him than tigers in their wildness.
' Let him have time to tear his curled hair, 981
Let him have time against himself to rave.
Let him have time of time's help to despair.
Let him have time to live a loathed slave,
Let him have time a beggar's orts to crave, 985
And time to see one that by alms doth live
Disdain to him disdained scraps to give.
' Let him have time to see his friends his foes.
And merry fools to mock at him resort ; 989
Let him have time to mark how slow time goes
In time of sorrow, and how swift and short
His time of folly and his time of sport ;
And ever let his unrecalling crime
Have time to wail the abusing of his time.
' Time, thou tutor both to good and bad, 995
Teach me to curse him that thou taught'st this ill !
At his own shadow let the thief run mad.
Himself himself seek every hour to kill !
Such wretched hands such wretched blood should
spill ;
For who so base would such an office have 1000
As slanderous deathsman to so base a slave ?
' The baser is he, coming from a king,
To shame his hope with deeds degenerate ;
The mightier man, the mightier is the thing
That makes him honour'd or begets him hate;
For greatest scandal waits on greatest state. 100$
The moon being clouded presently is miss'd,
But little stars may hide them when they list.
' The crow may bathe his coal-black wings in mire,
And unperceived fly with the filth away ; 1010
But if the like the snow-white swan desire.
The stain upon his silver down will stay.
Poor grooms are sightless night, kings glorioua
day;
Gnats are unnoted wheresoe'er they fly.
But eagles gazed upon with every eye. 1015
' Out, idle words, servants to shallow fools !
Unprofitable sounds, weak arbitrators !
Busy yourselves in skill-contending schools;
Debate where leisure serves with dull debaters;
To trembling clients be you mediators ; 1020
For me, I force not argument a straw,
Since that my case is past the help of law.
' In vain I rail at Opportunity,
At Time, at Tarquin, and uncheerful Night;
In vain I cavil with mine infamy, 1025
In vain I spurn at my confirm'd despite;
This helpless smoke of words doth me no right.
The remedy indeed to do me good
Is to let forth my foul-defiled blood.
'Poor hand, why quiver'st thou at this decree?
Honour thyself to rid me of this shame ;
For if I die, my honour lives in thee, 1032
Line 1033-1146.]
THE RAPE OF LUCRE CE
389
But if I live, thou livest in my defame ;
Since thou couldst not defend thy loyal dame,
And wast afeard to scratch her wicked foe,
Kill both thyself and her for yielding so.' 1036
This said, from her be-tumbled couch she startoth,
To find some desperate instrument of death ;
But this no slaughterhouse no tool imparteth
To make more vent for passage of her breath ; 1040
Which thronging through her lips, so vanisheth
As smoke from iEtna that in air consumes.
Or that which from discharged cannon fumes.
' In vain,' quoth she, ' I live, and seek in vain
Some happy mean to end a hapless life. 1045
I fear'd by Tarquin's falchion to be i^Jain,
Yet for the self-same purpose seek a knife ;
But wlien I fear'd I was a loyal wife ;
So am I now ; no, that cannot be ; 1049
Of that true type hath Tarquin rifled me.
' O, that is gone for which I sought to live,
And therefore now I need not fear to die.
To clear this spot by death, at least I give
A badge of fame to slander's livery,
A dying life to living infamy ; 1055
Poor helpless help, the treasure stol'n away.
To burn the guiltless casket where it lay !
'Well, well, dear Collatine, thou shalt not know
The stained taste of violated troth ;
I will not wrong thy true affection so, 1060
To flatter thee with an infringed oath ;
This bastard graflf shall never come to growth ;
He shall not boast who did thy stock pollute
That thou art doting father of his fruit. 1064
' Nor shall he smile at thee in secret thought.
Nor laugh with his companions at thy state ;
But thou shalt know thy interest was not bought
Basely with gold, but stol'n from forth thy gate.
For me, I am the mistress of my fate, 1069
And with my trespass never will dispense,
Till life to death acquit my forced offence.
' I will not poison thee with my attaint.
Nor fold my fault in cleanly-coin'd excuses ;
My sable ground of sin I will not paint, 1074
To hide the truth of this false night's abuses ;
My tongue shall utter all ; mine eyes, like sluices,
As from a mountain-spring that feeds a dale.
Shall gush pure streams to purge my impure
tale.'
By this, lamenting Philomel had ended 1079
The well tuned warble of her nightly sorrow.
And solemn night with slow-sad gait descended
To ugly hell ; when, lo, the blushing morrow
Lends light to all fair eyes that light will borrow;
But cloudy Lucrece shames herself to see,-
And therefore still in night would cloister'd be.
Revealing day through every cranny spies, 10S6
And seems to point her out where she sits weep-
ing;
To whom she sobbing speaks : ' eye of eyes.
Why pry'st thou through my window? leave thy
peeping ;
Mock with thy tickling beams eyes that are sleep-
ing; 1090
Brand not my forehead with thy piercing light,
For day hath nought to do what's done by night.'
Thus cavils she with every thine slip sees ;
True grief is fond and testy as a child, 1094
Who wayward once, his mood with nought agrees ;
Old woes, not Infant sorrows, bear them mild ;
Continuance tames the one ; the other wild.
Like an unpractised swimmer plunging still
With too much labour drowns for want of skill
So she, deep-drenched in a sea of care, 1100
Holds disputation with each thing she views.
And to herself all sorrow doth compare;
No object but her passion's strength renews.
And as one shifts, another straight ensues ; 1104
Sometime her grief is dumb and hath no w'ords ;
Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords.
The little birds that tune their morning's joy
Make her moans mad with their sweet melody ;
For mirth doth search the bottom of annoy ;
Sad souls are slain in merry company; 1110
Grief best is pleased with grief's society;
True sorrow then is feelingly suiiiced
When with like semblance it is sympathized.
'Tis double death to drown in ken of shore; 1114
He ten times jjines that pines beholding food ;
To see the salve doth make the wound ache more ;
Great grief grieves most at that would do it good ;
Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood.
Who, being stopp'd, the bounding banks o'er-
flows ; 1119
Grief dallied with nor law nor limit knows.
' You mocking birds,' quoth she, ' your tunes en-
tomb
Within your hollow-swelling feather'd breasts,
And in my hearing be you mute and dumb ;
My restless discord loves no stops nor rests ;
A woeful hostess brooks not merry guests ; 1125
Relish your nimble notes to pleasing ears ;
Distress likes dumps when time is kept with
tears.
' Come, Philomel, that sing'st of ravishment.
Make thy sad grove in my dishevell'd hair ;
As the dank earth weeps at thy languishment,
So I at each sad strain will strain a tear, 1131
And with deep groans the diapason bear ;
For burden-wise Pll hum on Tarquin still,
While thou on Tereus descant'st better skill.
' And whiles against a thorn thou bear'st thy part,
To keep thy sharp woes waking, wretched I,
To imitate thee well, against my heart 1137
Will fix a sharp knife, to affright mine eye ;
Who, if it wink, shall thereon fall and die.
These means, as frets upon an instrument,
Shall tune our heart-strings to true languish-
ment. 11-11
'And for, poor bird, thou sing'st not in the day,
As shaming any eye should thee behold,
Some dark deep desert, seated from the way,
That knows not parching heat nor freezing cold.
Will we find out; and there we will unfold
390
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
[Line i 147-1263.
To creatures stern sad tunes, to change their
kinds; 1147
Since men prove beasts, let beasts bear gentle
minds.'
As the poor frighted deer, that stands at gaze,
Wildly determining which way to fly, 1150
Or one encompass'd with a winding maze,
That cannot tread the way out readily ;
So with herself is she in mutiny,
To live or die, which of the twain were better,
When life is shamed and death reproach's
debtor. 1155
' To kill myself,' quoth she, ' alack, what were it,
But with my body my poor soul's pollution ?
Thsy that lose half with greater patience bear it
Thau they whose whole is swallow'd in confusion.
That mother tries a merciless conclusion 1160
AVho, having two sweet babes, when death takes
one,
Will slay the other and be nurse to none.
' My body or my soul, which was the dearer,
When the one pure, the other made divine?
Whose love of either to myself was nearer, 1165
When both were kept for heaven and Collatine?
Ay me ! the bark peel'd from the lofty pine.
His leaves will wither and his sap decay ;
So must my soul, her bark being peel'd away.
' Her house is sack'd, her quiet interrupted.
Her mansion battered by the enemy ; 1171
Her sacred temple spotted, spoil'd, corrupted,
Grossly engirt with daring infamy ;
Then let it not be call'd impiety,
If in this blemish'd fort I make some hole
Through which I may convey this troubled soul.
' Yet die I will not till my Collatine 1177
Have heard the cause of my untimely death ;
That he may vow, in that sad hour of mine,
Revenge on him that made me stop my breath.
My stained blood to Tarquin I'll bequeath, 1181
Which by him tainted shall for him be spent,
And as his due writ in my testament.
'My honour I'll bequeath unto the knife
That wounds my body so dishonoured. 11S5
'Tis honour to deprive dishonour'd life ;
The one will live, the other being dead ;
So of shame's ashes shall ray fame be bred ;
For in my death I murder shameful scorn ;
My shame so dead, mine honour is new-born
' Dear lord of that dear jewel I have lost, 1191
What legacy shall I bequeath to thee?
My resolution, love, shall be thy boast.
By whose example thou revenged mayst be.
How Tarquin must be used, read it in me; 1195
Myself, thy friend, will kill myself, thy foe.
And, for my sake, serve thou false Tai-quin so.
' This brief abridgement of my will I make :
My soul and body to the skies and ground ;
My resolution, husband, do thou take; 1200
Mine honour be the knife's that makes my wound ;
My shame be his that did my fame confound ;
And all my fame that lives disbursed be
To those that live and think no shame of me.
' Thou, Collatine, shalt oversee this will ; 1205
How was I overseen that thou shalt see it \
My blood shall wash the slander of mine ill;
My life's foul deed, my life's fair end shall free it. '
Faint not, faint heart, but stoutly say " So be it ;"
Yield to my hand ; my hand shall conquer thee ;
Thou dead, both die and both shall victors be.'
This plot of death when sadly she had laid, 1212
And wiped the brinish pearl from her bright eyes.
With untuned tongue she hoarsely calls her maid,
Whose swift obedience to her mistress hies ;
For fleet-wing'd duty with thought's feathers flies.
Poor Lucrece' cheeks unto her maid seem so
As winter meads when sun doth melt their snow.
Her mistress she doth give demure good-morrow,
With soft slow tongue, true mark of modesty.
And sorts a sad look to her lady's sorrow, 1221
For why her face wore sorrow's livery.
But durst not ask of her audaciously
Why her two suns were cloud-eclipsed so, 1224
Nor why her fair cheeks over-wash'd with woe.
But as the earth doth weep, the sun being set.
Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye.
Even so the maid with swelling drops 'gan wet
Her circled eyne, enforced by sympathy
Of those fair suns set in her mistress' sky, 1230
Who in a salt-waved ocean quench their light.
Which makes the maid weep like the dewy
night.
A pretty while these pretty creatures stand,
Like ivory conduits coral cisterns filling ; 1234
One justly weeps ; the other takes in hand
No cause, but company, of her drops spilling ;
Their gentle sex to weep are often willing,
Grieving themselves to guess at others' smarts,
And then they drown their eyes or break their
hearts. 1239
For men have marble, women waxen, minds.
And therefore are they form'd as marble will ;
The weak oppress'd, the impression of strange
kinds
Is form'd in them by force, by fraud, or skill ;
Then call them not the authors of their ill, 1244
No more than wax shall be accounted evil
Wherein is stamp'd the semblance of a devil.
Their smoothness, like a goodly champaign plain,
Lays open all the little worms that creep ;
In men, as in a rough-grown grove, remain
Cave-keeping evils that obscurely sleep ; 1250
Through crystal walls each little mote will peep ;
Though men can cover crimes with bold stern
looks.
Poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
No man inveigh against the wither'd flower,
But chide rough winter that the flower hath kill'd ;
Not that devour'd, but that which doth devour,
Is worthy of blame. 0, let it not be hild 1257
Poor women's faults, that they are so fulfill'd
With men's abuses ; those proud lords to blame
Make weak-made women tenants to their shame.
The precedent whereof in Lucrece view, 1261
Assail'd by night with circumstances strong
Of present death, and shame that might ensue
Line 1264-1372.]
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
391
By that her death, to do her husband wrong ;
Such danger to resistance did belong, 1265
That dying fear through all her body spread ;
And who cannot abuse a body dead?
By this, mild patience bid fair Lucrece speak
To the poor counterfeit of her complaining ;
'My girl,' quoth she, 'on what occasion break
Those tears from thee, that down thy cheeks are
raining? 1271
If thou dost weep for grief of my sustaining.
Know, gentle wench, it small avails my mood;
If tears could help, mine own would do me good.
'But tell me, girl, when went' — and there she
stay'd 1275
Till after a deep groan — ' Tarquin from hence ?'
'Madam, ere I was up,' replied the maid,
' The more to blame my sluggard negligence ;
Yet with the fault I thus far can dispense ;
Myself was stirring ere the break of day, 1280
And ere I rose was Tarquin gone away.
' But, lady, if your maid may be so bold,
She would request to know your heaviness.'
' O, peace !' quoth Lucrece ; ' if it should be told,
The repetition cannot make it less, 1285
For more it is than I can well express ;
And that deep torture may be call'd a hell
When more is felt than one hath power to tell.
Go, get me hither paper, ink, and pen ; 1289
yet save that labour, for I have them here.
What should I say? One of my husband's men
Bid thou be ready by and by to bear
A letter to my lord, my love, my dear;
Bid him with speed prepare to carry it; 1294
The cause craves haste and it will soon be writ.'
Her maid is gone, and she prepares to write.
First hovering o'er the paper with her quill ;
Conceit and grief an eager combat fight;
What wit sets down is blotted straight with will ;
This is too curious-good, this blunt and ill ; 1300
Much like a press of people at a door.
Throng her inventions, which shall go before.
At last she thus begins : ' Thou worthy lord
Of that unworthy wife that greeteth thee.
Health to thy person ! next vouchsafe t' afford, —
If ever, love, thy Lucrece thou wilt see, — 1306
Some present speed to come and visit me.
So, I commend me from our house in grief;
My woes are tedious, though my words are
brief.'
Hore folds she up the tenour of her woe, 1310
Her certain sorrow writ uncertainly.
By this short schedule Collatine may know
Her grief, but not her grief's true quality ;
She dares not thereof make discovery, 1314
Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse.
Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd ex-
cuse.
Besides, the life and feeling of her passion
She hoards, to spend when he is by to hear her,
When sighs and groans and tears may grace the
fashion
Of her disgrace, the better so to clear her 1320
From that suspicion which the world might bear
her.
To shun this blot, she would not blot the letter
With words, till action might become them
better.
To see sad sights moves more than hear them told ;
For then the eye interprets to the ear 1325
The heavy motion that it doth behold.
When every part a part of woe doth bear.
'Tis but a part of sorrow that we hear ;
Deep sounds make lesser noise than shallow
fords,
And sorrow ebbs, being blown with wind of
words. 1330
Her letter now is seal'd and on it writ
' At Ardea to my lord with more than haste.'
The post attends, and she delivers it.
Charging the sour-faced groom to hie as fast
As lagging fowls before the northern blast ;
Speed more than speed but dull and slow she
deems ; 1336
Extremity still urgeth such extremes.
The homely villain court'sies to her low.
And blushing on her, with a steadfast eye
Receives the scroll without or yea or no, 1340
And forth with bashful innocence doth hie.
But they whose guilt within their bosoms lie
Imagine every eye beholds their blame;
For Lucrece thought he blush'd to see her
shame ;
When, silly groom! God wot, it was defect
Of spirit, life and bold audacity. 1346
Such harmless creatures have a true respect
To talk in deeds, while others saucily
Promise more speed but do it leisurely ; 1349
Even so this pattern of the worn-out age
Pawn'd honest looks, but laid no words to gage.
His kindled duty kindled her mistrust.
That two red flres in both their faces blazed ;
She thought he blush'd, as knowing Tarquiu's lust,
And blushing with him, wistly on him gazed ; 1355
Her earnest eye did make him more amazed;
The more she saw the blood his cheeks replenish.
The more she thought he spied in her some
blemish.
But long she thinks till he return again,
And yet the duteous vassal scarce is gone.
The weary time she cannot entertain, 1361
For now 'tis stale to sigh, to weep and groan ;
So woe hath wearied woe, moan tired moan,
That she her plaints a little while doth stay,
Pausing for means to mourn some newer way.
At last she calls to mind where hangs a piece
Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy ;
Before the which is drawn the power of Greece,
For Helen's rape the city to destroy, 1369
Threatening cloud-kissing Ilion with annoy;
Which the conceited painter drew bo proud.
As heaven, it seem'd, to kiss the turrets bow'd
302
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
[Line 1373-1491.
A thousand lamentable objects there,
In scorn of nature, art gave lifeless life ;
Many a dry drop seem'd a weeping tear, 1375
Shed for the slaughter'd husband by the wife ;
The red blood reek'd, to show the painter's strife ;
And dying eyes gleam'd forth their ashy lights,
Like dying coals burnt out in tedious nights.
There might you see the labouring pioner 1380
Begrimed with sweat and smeared all with dust ;
And from the towers of Troy there would appear
The very eyes of men through loop-holes thrust,
Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust ; 1384
Such sweet observance in this work was had
That one might see those far-oft' eyes look sad.
In great commanders grace and majesty
You might behold, triumphing in their faces;
In youth, quick bearing and dexterity ;
And here and there the painter interlaces 1390
Pale cowards, marching on with trembling paces,
Which heartless peasants did so well resemble
That one would swear he saw them quake and
tremble.
In Ajax and Ulysses, 0, what art
Of physiognomy might one behold! 1395
The face of either cipher'd cither's heart ;
Their face their manners most expressly told ;
In Ajax' eyes blunt rage and rigour roll'd ;
But the mild glance that sly Ulysses lent 1399
Show'd deep regard and smiling government.
There pleading might you see grave Nestor stand,
As 'twere encouraging the Greeks to fight,
Making such sober action with his hand 1403
That it beguiled attention, eharm'd the sight ;
In speech, it seem'd, his beard all silver white
Wagg'd up and down, and from his lips did fly
Thin winding breath which purl'd up to the sky.
About him were a press of gaping faces,
Which seem'd to swallow up his sound advice ;
All jointly listening, but with several graces.
As if some mermaid did their ears entice, 1411
Some high, some low, the painter was so nice;
The scalps of many, almost hid behind.
To jump up higher seem'd, to mock the mind.
Here one man's hand lean'd on another's head.
His nose being shadow'd by his neighbour's ear;
Here one being throng'd bears back, all boli'n
and red ; 1417
Another smother'd seems to pelt and swear ;
And in their rage such signs of rage they bear
As, but for loss of Nestor's golden words.
It seem'd they would debate with angry swords.
For much imaginary work was there ; 1422
Conceit deceitful, so compact, so kind,
That for Achilles' image stood his spear
Griped in an armed hand ; himself behind
Was left unseen, save to the eye of mind ; 1426
A hand, a foot, a face, a leg, a head,
Stood for the whole to be imagined.
And from the walls of strong-besieged Troy
When their brave hope, bold Hector, march'd to
field, 1430
Stood many Trojan mothers sharing joy
To see their youthful sons bright weapons wield ;
And to their hope they such odd action yield
That through their light joy seemed to appear,
Like bright things stain'd, a kind of heavy fear.
And from the strand of Dardan, where they fought,
To Simois' reedy banks the red blood ran, 1437
Whose waves to imitate the battle sought
With swelling ridges ; and their ranks began
To break upon the galled shore, and than 1440
Retire again, till meeting greater ranks
They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks.
To this well-painted piece is Lucrece come.
To find a face where all distress is stell'd. 1444
Many she sees where cares have carved some,
But none where all distress and dolour dwell'd,
Till she despairing Hecuba beheld.
Staring on Priam's wounds with her old eyes.
Which bleeding under Pyrrhus' proud foot lies.
In her the painter had anatomized 1450
Time's ruin, beauty's wreck, and grim care's reign ;
Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were dis-
guised ;
Of what she was no semblance did remain ;
Her blue blood changed to black in every vein,
Wanting the spring that those shrunk pipes
have fed, 1455
Show'd life imprison'd in a body dead.
On this sad shadow Lucrece spends her eyes.
And shapes her sorrow to the beldam's woes.
Who nothing wants to answer her but cries,
And bitter words to ban her cruel foes ; 1460
The painter was no god to lend her those ;
And therefore Lucrece swears he did her wrong,
To give her so much grief and not a tongue.
' Poor instrument,' quoth she, ' without a sound,
I'll tune thy woes with my lamenting tongue,
And drop sweet balm in Priam's painted wound.
And rail on Pyrrhus that hath done him wrong,
And with my tears. quench Troy that burns so
long,
And with my knife scratch out the angry eyes
Of all the Greeks that are thine enemies. 1470
' Show me the strumpet that began this stir,
That with my nails her beauty I may tear.
Thy heat of lust, fond Paris, did incur
This load of wrath that burning Troy doth bear ;
Thy eye kindled the fire that burneth here; 1475
And here in Troy, for trespass of thine eye.
The sire, the son, the dame, and daughter die.
' Why should the private pleasure of some one
Become the public plague of many moe ?
Let sin, alone committed, light alone 1480
Upon his head that hath transgressed so ;
Let guiltless souls be freed from guilty woe ;
For one's offence why should so many fall,
To plague a private sin in general ?
' Lo, here weeps Hecuba, here Priam dies, 1485
Here manly Hector faints, here Troilus swounds,
Here friend by friend in bloody channel lies.
And friend to friend gives unadvised wounds.
And one man's lust these many lives confounds;
Had doting Priam check'd his son's desire,
Troy had been bright with fame and not with
fire.' 1491
Line 1492-1606.]
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
393
Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes ;
For sorrow, like a heavy-hanging bell,
Once set on ringing, with his own weight goes ;
Then little strength rings out the doleful knell;
So Lucrece, set a-work, sad tales doth tell 149G
To pencill'd pensiveness and colour'd sorrow ;
She lends them words, and she their looks doth
borrow.
She throws her eyes about the painting round.
And who she finds forlorn she doth lament.
At last she sees a wretched image bound, 1501
That piteous looks to Phrygian shepherds lent ;
His face, though full of cares, yet show'd content ;
Onward to Troy with the hhint swains he goes.
So mild that Patience seem'd to scorn his woes.
In him the painter labour'd with his skill 1506
To hide deceit and give the harmless show
An humble gait, calm looks, eyes wailing still,
A brow unbent, that seem'd to welcome woe ;
Cheeks neither red nor pale, but mingled so 1510
That blushing red no guilty instance gave.
Nor ashy pale the fear that false hearts have.
But, like a constant and confirmed devil,
He entertain'd a show so seeming just,
And therein so ensconced his secret evil, 1515
That jealousy itself could not mistrust
False-creeping craft and perjury should thrust
Into so bright a day such black-faced storms.
Or blot with hell-born siu such saint-like forms.
The well-skill'd workman this mild image drew
For perjured Sinon, whose enchanting story
The credulous old Priam after slew ; 1522
Whose words, like wildfire, burnt the shining
glory
Of rich-built Ilion, that the skies were sorry,
And little stars shot from their fixed places,
When their glass fell wherein they view'd their
faces. 1526
This picture she advisedly perused,
And chid the painter for his wondrous skill,
Saying, some shape in Sinon's was abused ;
So fair a form lodged not a mind so ill ; 1530
And still on him she gazed, and gazing still
Such signs of truth in his plain face she spied
That she concludes the picture was belied.
'It cannot be,' quoth she, 'that so much guile' —
She would have said 'can lurk in such a look;'
But Tarquin's shape came in her mind the wliile,
And from her tongue 'can lurk' from 'cannot'
took ; 1537
'It cannot be' she in that sense forsook,
And turn'd it thus, ' It cannot be, I find.
But such a face should hear a wicked mind ;
For even as subtle Sinon here is painted, 1541
So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild.
As if with grief or travail he had fainted.
To me came Tarquiu armed ; so beguiled
With outward honesty, but yet defiled 1545
With inward vice; as Priam him did cherish.
So did I Tarquin ; so my Troy did perish.
Look, look, how listening Priam wets his eyes.
To see those borrow'd tears that Sinon sheds !
Priam, why art thou old and yet not wise? 1550
For every tear he falls a Trojan bleeds ;
His eye drops fire, no water thence proceeds ;
Those round clear pearls of his that move thy
pity
Are balls of quenchless fire to burn thy city.
' Such devils steal effects from lightless hell ;
For Sinon in his fire doth quake with cold, 1556
And in that cold hot-burning fire doth dwell;
These contraries such unity do hold.
Only to flatter fools and make them bold ;
So Priam's trust false Sinon's tears d(jth flattT,
That he finds means to burn his Troy with
water.' l5ol
Here, all enraged, such passion her assails.
That patience is quite beaten from her breast.
She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails.
Comparing him to that unhappy guest 1565
Whose deed hath made herself herself detest ;
At last she smilingly with this gives o'er ;
' Fool, fool !' quoth she, ' his wounds will not be
sore.' 1508
Thus ebbs and flows the current of her sorrow.
And time doth weary time with her complaining.
She looks for night, and then she longs for morrow.
And both she thinks too long with her remaining ;
Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustain-
ing; 1573
Though woe be heavy, yet it seldom sleeps.
And they that watch see time how slow it creeps.
Which all this time hath overslipp'd her thought.
That she with painted images hath spent ;
Being from the feeling of her own grief brought
By deep surmise of others' detriment.
Losing her woes in shows of discontent. 15S0
It easeth some, though none it ever cured.
To think their dolour others have endured.
But now the mindful messenger come back
Brings home his lord and other company ;
Who finds his Lucrece clad in mourning black ;
And round about her tear-distained eye 1586
Blue circles stream'd, like rainbows in the sky ;
These water-galls in her dim element
Foretell new storms to those already spent.
Which when her sad-beholding husband saw,
Amazedly in her sad face he stares ; 1.591
Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw,
Her lively colour kill'd with deadly cares.
He hath no power to ask her how she fares ;
Both stood, like old acquaintance in a trance,
Met far from home, wondering each other's
chance. 1596
At last he takes her by the bloodless hand.
And thus begins: 'What uncouth ill event
Hath thee befall'n, that thou dost trembling stand ?
Sweet love, what spite hath thy fair colour spent?
Why art thou thus attired in discontent? 1601
Unmask, dear dear, this moody heaviness,
And tell thy grief, that we may give redress.'
Three times with sighs she gives her sorrow fire,
Ere once she can discharge one word of woe ;
At length address'd to answer his desire, 1606
39i
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
[Line 1607-1722.
She modestly prepares to let them know
Her honour is ta'en prisoner by the foe ;
While Collatine and his consorted lords 1809
With sad attention long to hear her words.
And now this pale swan in her watery nest
Begins the sad dirge of her certain ending;
' Few words,' quoth she, ' shall fit the trespass best,
Where no excuse can give the fault amending;
In me moe woes than words are now depending;
And my laments would be drawn out too long,
To tell them all with one poor tired tongue.
' Then be this aU the task it hath to say : 1618
Dear husband, in the interest of thy bed
A stranger came, and on that pillow lay
Where thou wast wont to rest thy weary head ;
And what wrong else may be imagined
By foul enforcement might be done to me,
From that, alas, thy Lucrece is not free. 1(524
' For in the dreadful dead of dark midnight,
With shining falchion in my chamber came
A creeping creature, with a flaming light,
And softly cried "Awake, thou Roman dame,
And entertain my love; else lasting shame
On thee and thine this night I will inflict,
If thou my love's desire do contradict. 1631
'" For some hard-favour'd groom of thine," quoth
he,
"Unless thou yoke thy liking to my will,
I'll murder straight, and then I'll slaughter thee,
And swear I found you where you did fulfil
The loathsome act of lust, and so did kill 1636
The lechers in their deed; this act will be
My fame, and thy perpetual infamy."
' With this, I did begin to start and cry ;
And then against my heart he set his sword.
Swearing, unless I took all patiently, 1611
I should not live to speak another word ;
So should my shame still rest upon record.
And never lie forgot in mighty Rome
The adulterate death of Lucrece and her groom.
' Mine enemy was strong, my poor self weak, 1G46
And far the weaker with so strong a fear ;
My bloody judge forbade my tongue to speak ;
No rightful plea might plead for justice there;
His scarlet lust came evidence to swear 1650
That my poor beauty had purloin'd his eyes;
And when the judge is robb'd, the prisoner dies.
' teach me how to make mine own excuse !
Or, at the least, this refuge let me find ; 1654
Though my gross blood be stain'd with this abuse,
Immaculate and spotless is my mind;
That was not forced; that never was inclined
To accessary yieldings, but still pure
Doth in her poison'd closet yet endure.'
Lo, here, the hopeless merchant of this loss,
With head declined, and voice damm'd up with
woe, 1661
With sad-set eyes and wretched arms across,
From lips new-waxen pale begins to blow
The grief away that stops his answer so ;
But, wretched as he is, he strives in vain ;
What he breathes out his breath drinks up
again. 1666
As through an arch the violent roaring tide
Outruns the eye that doth behold his haste,
Yet in the eddy boundeth in his pride 1669
Back to the strait that forced him on so fast.
In rage sent out, recall'd in rage, being past ;
Even so his sighs, his sorrows, make a saw,
To push grief on and back the same grief draw
Which speechless woe of his poor she attendeth,
And his untimely frenzy thus awaketh : 1675
' Dear lord, thy sorrow to my sorrow londeth
Another power; no flood by raining slaketh.
My woe too sensible thy passion makcth
More feeling-painful ; let it then suffice 1679
To drown one woe, one pair of weeping eyes.
'And for my sake, when I might charm thee so.
For she that was thy Lucrece, now attend me ;
Be suddenly revenged on my foe,
Thine, mine, his own; suppose thou dost defend
me
From what is past; the help that thou shalt lend
me 1685
Comes all too late, yet let the traitor die ;
For sparing justice feeds iniquity.
'But ere I name him, you fair lords,' quoth she,
Speaking to those that came with Collatine,
' Shall plight your honourable faiths to me, 1690
With swift pursuit to venge this wrong of mine ;
For 'tis a meritorious fair design
To chase injustice with revengeful arras;
Knights, by their oaths, should right poor ladies'
harms.'
At this request, with noble disposition 1695
Each present lord began to promise aid.
As bound in knighthood to her imposition,
Longing to hear the hateful foe bewray'd. 169S
But she, that yet her sad task hath not said,
The protestation stops. ' 0, speak,' quoth she,
' How may this forced stain be wijied from me?
' What is the quality of my offence.
Being constrain'd with dreadful circumstance ?
May my pure mind with the foul act dispense,
My low-declined honour to advance? 1705
May any terms acquit me from this chance?
The poison'd fountain clears itself again ;
And why not I from this compelled stain?'
With this, they all at once began to say, 1709
Her body's stain her mind untainted clears;
While with a joyless smile she turns away
The face, that map which deep impression bears
Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears.
' No, no,' quoth she, ' no dame hereafter living
By my excuse shall claim excuse's giving.' 1715
Here with a sigh, as if her heart would break.
She throws forth Tarquiu's name ; ' He, he,' she
says,
But more than 'he' her poor tongue could not
speak ;
Till after many accents and delays, 1719
Untimely breathings, sick and short assays.
She utters this: ' He, he, fair lords, 'tis he,
That guides this hand to give this wound to me'
Line 1723-1837.]
THE RAPE OF LUCRECE
395
Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast
A harm I'ul knife, that thence her soul unsheathed ;
That blow did bail it from the deep unrest 1725
Of that polluted prison where it breathed ;
Her contrite sighs unto the clouds biqueathed
Her winged spright, and througli her wounds
doth fly
Life's lasting date from cancell'd destiny.
Stone-still, astonish'd with this deadly deed,
Stood Collatine and all his lordly crew ; 1731
Till Lucrece' father, that beholds her bleed,
Himself on her self-slaughter'd body threw ;
And from the purple fountain Brutus drew
The murderous knife, and, as it left the place,
Her blood, in poor revenge, held it in chase;
And bubbling from her breast, it doth divide
In two slow rivers, that the crimson blood
Circles her body in on every side,
Who, like a late-sack'd island, vastly stood 1740
Bai'e and unpeopled in this fearful flood.
Some of her blood still pure and red remain'd,
And some look'd black, and that false Tarquiu
stain'd.
About the mourning and congealed face
Of that black blood a watery rigol goes, 1745
Which seems to weep upon the tainted place ;
And ever since, as pitj'ing Lucrece' woes.
Corrupted blood some watery token shows ;
And blood untainted still doth red abide,
Blusliing at that which is so putrified. 1750
' Daughter, dear daughter,' old Lucretius cries,
'That life was mine which thou hast here de-
prived.
If in the child the father's image lies,
Where shall I live now Lucrece is unlived?
Thou wast not to this end from me derived.
If children pre-decease progenitors, 1756
We are their offspring, and they none of ours.
Poor broken glass, I often did behold
In thy sweet semblance my old age new born ;
But now that fair fresh mirror, dim and old, 17G0
Shows me a bare-boned death by time outworn;
O, from thy cheeks my image thou hast torn,
And shiver'd all the beauty of my glass.
That I no more can see what once I was.
'0 time, cease thou thy course and last no longer,
If they surcease to be that should survive. 1766
Shall rotten death make conquest of the stronger,
And leave the faltering, feeble souls alive ?
The old bees die, the young possess their hive;
Then live, sweet Lucrece, live again, and see
Thy father die, and not thy father thee !' 1771
By this, starts Collatine as from a dream,
And bids Lucretius give his sorrow place ;
And then in kej'-cold Lucrece' bleeding stream
He falls, and bathes the pale fear in his face,
And counterfeits to die with her a space ; 1776
Till manly shame bids him possess his breath,
And live to be revenged on her death.
The deep vexation of his inward soul 1779
Hath served a dumb arrest upon his tongue ;
Who, mad that sorrow should his use control
Or keep him from heart-easing words so long,
Begins to talk ; but through his lips do throng
Weak words, so thick come in his poor heart's
aid 1781
That no man could distinguish what he said.
Yet sometime 'Tarquin' was pronounced plain.
But through his teeth, as if the name he tore.
This windy tempest, till it blow up rain.
Held back his sorrow's tide, to make it more;
At last it rains, and busy winds give o'er; 1790
Then son and father weep with equal strife
Who should weep most, for daughter or for wife.
The one doth call her his, the other his,
Yet neither may possess the claim they lay.
The father says ' She's mine.' ' O, mine she is,'
Eeplies her husband ; ' do not take away 1796
My sorrow's interest; let no mourner say
He weeps for her, for she was only mine,
And only must be wail'd by Collatine.'
'O,' quoth Lucretius, 'I did give that life 1800
Which she too early and too late hath spill'd.'
' Woe, woe,' quoth Collatine, ' she was my wife ;
I owed her, and 'tis mine that she hath kill'd.'
'My daughter' and 'my wife' with clamours fill'd
The dispersed air, who, holding Lucrece' life,
Answer'd their cries, 'my daughter' and 'my
wife.' 1808
Brutus, who pluck'd the knife from Lucrece' side,
Seeing such emulation in their woe.
Began to clothe his wit in state and pride.
Burying in Lucrece' wound his folly's show.
He with the Romans was esteemed so 1811
As silly-jeering idiots are with kings,
For sportive words and uttering foolish things;
But now he throws that shallow habit by
Wherein deep policy did him disguise, 1815
And arm'd his long-hid wits advisedly
To check the tears in Collatinus' eyes.
'Thou wronged lord of Rome,' quoth he, 'arise;
Let my unsounded self, supposed a fool.
Now set thy long-experienced wit to school.
' Why, Collatine, is woe the cure for woe? 1821
Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous
deeds ?
Is it revenge to give thyself a blow
For his foul act by whom thy fair wife bleeds?
Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds ;
Thy wretched wife mistook the matter so,
To slay herself that should have slain her foe.
' Courageous Roman, do not steep thy heart
In such relenting dew of lamentations, 1829
But kneel with me and help to bear thy part
To rouse our Roman gods with invocations
That they will suffer these abominations,
Since Rome herself in them doth stand dis-
graced.
By our strong arms from forth her fair streets
chased.
' Now, by the Capitol that we adore, 1835
And by this chaste blood so unjustly stained.
By heaven's fair sun that breeds the fat earth's
store,

By all our country rights In Eome maintained,
And by chaste Lucrece' soul that late complained
Her wrongs to us, and by this bloody knife.
We will revenge the death of this true wife !'
This said, he struck his hand upon his breast,
And kiss'd the fatal knife, to end his vow,
And to his protestation urged the rest, 18-14
Who, wondering at him, did his words allow ;
Then jointly to the ground their knees they bow ;
And that deep vow, which Brutus made before,
He doth again repeat, and that they swore.
When they had sworn to this advised doom, 1849
They did conclude to bear dead Lucrece thence,
To show her bleeding body thorough Eome,
And so to publish Tarquin's foul otfence ;
Which being done with speedy diligence,
The Romans plausibly did give consent
To Tarquin's everlasting banishment. 1855

From fairest creatures we desire increase.
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease.
His tender heir might bear his memory ; 4
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel.
Making a famine where abundance lies.
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring, 10
Within thine own bud buriest thy content
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
WTien forty winters shall besiege thy brow
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field.
Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held ;
Then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies, 5
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days,
To say, within thine own deep-suuken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserved thy beauty's use,
If thou couldst answer ' This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,'
Proving his beauty by succession thine! 12
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.
Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another ;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest.
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry ? 6
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to Mop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime; 10
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see.
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remember'd not to be.
Die single, and thine image dies with thee.
Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thyself thy beauty's legacy?
Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend,
And being frank, she lends to those are free.
Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse 5
The bounteous largess given thee to give ?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live ?
For having traflic with thyself alone.
Thou of thyself thy sweet self dost deceive. 10
Then how, when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave ?
Thy unused beauty must be tomb'd with thee,
Which, used, lives th' executor to be.
Those hours that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel ;
For never-resting time leads summer on 5
To hideous winter and confounds him there ;
Sap check'd with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'ersnow'd and bareness every where;
Then, were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass, 10
Beauty's effect with beauty were bfireft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was ;
But flowers distill'd, though they with winter

Leese but their show; their substance still lives

Leaving thee living in posterity?

To be death's conquest and make worms thine

Lo, in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty ;
And having clirab'd the steep-up heavenly hill, 5
Eesembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still.
Attending on his golden pilgrimage;
But when from highmost pitch, with weary car.
Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day, 10
The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are
From his low tract, and look another way ;
So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon,
Unlook'd on diest, unless thou get a son.
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.
Why lovest thou that which thou receivest not
gladly.
Or else receivest with pleasure thine apuoy?
If the true concord of well tuned sounds, 5
By unions married, do oflend thine ear.
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another.
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering ; 10
Eesembliug sire and child and happy mother.
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing;
Whose speechless song, being many, seeming
one.
Sings this to thee; 'Thou single wilt prove
none.'

Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye
That thou cousumest thyself in single life?
Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die.
The world will wail thee, like a makeless wife ;
The world will be thy widow, and still weep 6
That thou no form of thee hast left behind.
When every private widow well may keep
By children's eyes her husband's shape in mind.
Look, what an unthrift in the world doth spend
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it ;
But beauty's waste hath in the world an end, 11
A ad kept unused, the user so destroys it.
No love toward others in that bosom sits
That on himself such murderous shame com-
mits.
10
For shame ! deny that thou bear'st love to any,
Who for thyself art so unprovident.
Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many,
But that thou none lovest is most evident;
For thou art so possess'd with murderous hate 5
That 'gainst thyself thou stick'st not to conspire.
Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate
Which to repair should be thy chief desire.
0, change thy thought, that I may change my
mind I
Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love? 10
Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kiud.
Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove ;
Make thee another self, for love of me.
That beauty still may live in thine or thee.
11
As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou growest
In one of thine, from that which thou departest;
And that fresh blood which youngly thou be-
stowest
Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth
convertest.
Herein lives wisdom, beauty, and increase; 5
Without this, folly, age, and cold decay ;
If all were minded so, the times should cease
And threescore year would make the world away.
Let those whom Nature hath not made for store,
Harsh, featureless, and rude, barrenly perish ;
Look, whom she best endow'd she gave the more;
Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty
cherish ; 12
She carved thee for her seal, and meant thereby
Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die.
12
Wheji I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night ;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white ;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves, t>
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd.
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves.
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make.
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow ; 12
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make
defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee
hence.
13
0, that you were yourself! but, love, you are
No longer yours than j'ou yourself here live ;
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give.
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination ; then you were 6
Yourself again, after yourself 's decease.
When your sweet issue your sweet form should
bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay.
Which husbandry in honour might uphold 10
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
And barren rage of death's eternal cold ?
O, none but unthrifts ; dear my love, you know
You had a father ; let your son say so.
14
Not. from the stars do I my judgement pluck ;
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality ;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell, 5
Pointing to each his thunder, rain, and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well,
By oft predict that I in heaven find ;

SONNETS
[Son. 14-22.
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art.
As truth and beauty shall together thrive, 11
If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert ;
Or else of thee this I prognosticate :
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
15
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment.
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and check'd even by the self-same sky.
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease.
And wear their brave state out of memory ;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight
Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay, 11
To change your day of youth to sullied night ;
And all in war with Time for love of you.
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.
16
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time ?
And fortify yourself in your decay
AVith means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, 5
And many maiden gardens, yet unset.
With virtuous wish would bear your living flowers
Much liker than your painted counterfeit ;
So should the lines of life that life repair, 9
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen.
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair.
Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.
To give away yourself keeps yourself still ;
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet
skill.
17
Who will believe my verse in time to come,
If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?
Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb
Which hides your life and shows not half your
parts.
If I could write the beauty of your eyes 5
And in fresh numbers number all your graces.
The age to come would say ' This poet lies ;
Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
So should my papers, yellow'd with their age.
Be scorn'd, like old men of less truth than tongue.
And your true rights be termed a poet's rage
And stretched metre of an antique song ; 12
But were some child of yours alive that time.
You should live twice, in it and in my rhjTue.
18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Bough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summei''s lease hath all too short a date ;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 5
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd ;
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
Hj chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd ;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest ; 10
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest ;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
10
Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws.
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws.
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood ;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st, 5
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets ;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime ;
O, carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen ;
Him in thy course untainted do allow 11
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet do thy worst, old Time; despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
20
A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted
Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion ;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion ;
An eye more bright than theirs, less false in roll-
ing, 5
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth ;
A man in hue, all ' hues' in his controlling.
Which steals men's eyes and women's souls
amazeth.
And for a woman wert thou first created ;
Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting.
And by addition me of thee defeated, 11
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since she prick'd thee out for women's
pleasure.
Mine be thy love, and thy love's use their
treasure.
21
So is it not with me as with that Muse
Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse.
Who heaven itself for ornament doth use
And every fair with his fair doth rehearse.
Making a coupleraent of proud compare, 5
With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich
gems.
With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare
That heaven's air in this huge rondure hems.
O, let me, true in love, but truly write,
And then believe me, my love is as fair 10
As any mother's child, though not so bright
As those gold candles fix'd in heaven's air;
Let them say more that like of hearsay well;
I will not praise that purpose not to sell.
SS
My glass shall not persuade me I am old.
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold.
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee 5
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart.
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me;
How can I then be elder than thou art ?
O, therefore, love, be of thyself so wary
As I, not for myself, but for thee will ; 10
Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary
As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.

Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain ;
Thou gavest me thine, not to give back again.

As an unperfect actor on the stage,
AVho with his fear is put besides his part.
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength's abundance weakens his own
heart ;
So T, for fear of trust, forget to say 5
The perfect ceremony of love's rite.
And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
O'ercharged with burthen of mine own love's
might.
O, let my books be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast ; 10
Who plead for love, and look for recompense.
More than that tongue that more hath more ex-
press'd.
O, learn to read what silent love hath writ ;
To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.
Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is best painter's art.
For through the painter must you see his skill, 5
To find where your true image pictured lies ;
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for
me 10
Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun
Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee ;
Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art,
They draw but what they see, know not the
heart.
Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye, 6
And in themselves their pride lies buried.
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight.
After a thousand victories, once foil'd, 10
Is from the book of honour razed quite.
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd ;
Then happy I, that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed.
Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage
Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit.
To thee I send this written ambassage,
To witness duty, not to show my wit ;
Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine 5
May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it.
But that I hope some good conceit of thine
In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it;
Till whatsoever star that guides my moving.
Points on me graciously with fair aspect, 10
And puts apparel on my tatter'd loving,
To show me worthy of thy sweet respect ;
Then may I dare to boast how I do love theri;
Till then not show my head where thou ma fst
prove me.
ST'
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed.
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired ;
But then begins a journey in my head.
To work my mind, when body's work's expired ;
For then my thoughts, from far wliere I abide,
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, 6
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Loolcing on darkness which the blind do see ;
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, 10
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo, thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee and for myself no quiet find.
S8
How can I then return in happy plight,
That am debarr'd the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eased by night.
But day by night, and night by day, oppress'd?
And each, though enemies to cither's reign, 5
Do in consent shake hands to torture nie ;
The one by toil, the other to complain
How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
I tell the day, to please him thou art bright,
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the
heaven ; 10
So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night ;
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the
even.
But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer.
And night doth nightly make grief's strength
seem stronger.
29
■When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state.
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate.
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, 5
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope.
With what I most enjoy contented least ;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising.
Haply I think on thee, and then my state, 10
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate ;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth
brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
30
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste ;
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, 5
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long-since-cancell'd woe.
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight ;
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone.
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er 10
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.

[Son, 30-38.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend.
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
31
Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts,
Which I by lacking have supposed dead ;
And there reigns love, and all love's loving parts.
And all those friends which I thought buried.
How many a holy and obsequious tear 5
Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye.
As interest of the dead, which now appear
But things removed that liidden in thee lie!
Thou art the grave where buried love doth live,
Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone, 10
Who all their parts of me to thee did give ;
That due of many now is thine alone;
Their images I loved I view in thee.
And thou, all tliey, hast all the all of me.
33
If thou survive my well-contented day.
When that churl Death my bones with dust shall
cover,
And shalt by fortune once more re-survey
These poor rude lines of thy deceased lover, 4
Compare them with the bettering of the time,
And though they be outstripp'd by every pen,
Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme.
Exceeded by the height of happier men.
O, then vouchsafe me but this loving thought:
' Had my friend's Muse grown with this growing
age, 10
A dearer birth than this his love had brought.
To march in ranks of better equipage ;
But since he died, and poets better prove.
Theirs for their style I'll read, his for his love.'
33
Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye.
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;
Anon permit the basest clouds to ride 5
With ugly rack on his celestial face.
And from the forlorn world his visage hide,
Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace ;
Even so my sun one early morn did shine 9
With all-triumphant splendour on my brow ;
But, out, alack ! he was but one hour mine,
The region cloud hath mask'd him from me now.
Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth ;
Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun
staineth.
34
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day,
And make me travel forth without my cloak,
To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way.
Hiding thy bravery in their rotten smoke?
'Tis not enough that through the cloud thou break,
To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face, 6
For no man well of such a salve can speak
That heals the wound and cures not the disgrace;
Nor can thy shame give physic to my grief;
Though thou repent, yet I have still the loss ;
The offender's sorrow lends but weak relief 11
To him that bears the strong offence's cross.
Ah, but those tears are pearl which thy love
sheds.
And they are rich and ransom all ill deeds.
35
No more be grieved at that which thou hast done ;
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this, 5
Authorizing thy trespass with compare.
Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss,
Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are ;
For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense, —
Thy adverse party is thy advocate, — 10
And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence ;
Such civil war is in my love and hate,
That I an accessary needs must be
To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.
3e
Let me confess that we two must be twain.
Although our undivided loves are one ;
So shall those blots that do with me remain.
Without thy help, by me be borne alone.
In our two loves there is but one respect, 5
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which though it alter not love's sole effect.
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight,
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, 10
Nor thou with public kindness honour me.
Unless thou take that honour from thy name;
But do not so ; I love thee in such sort,
As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
37
As a decrepit father takes delight
To see his active child do deeds of youth,
.So I, made lame by fortune's dearest spite,
Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth;
For whether beauty, birth, or wealth, or wit, 5
Or any of these all, or all, or more,
Entitled in thy parts do crowned sit,
I make my love engrafted to this store;
So then I am not lame, poor, nor despised,
Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give
That I in thy abundance am sufficed 11
And by a part of all thy glory live.
Look, what is best, that best I wish in thee ;
This wish I have ; then ten times happy me !
38
How can my Muse want subject to invent,
While thou dost breathe, that pour'st into my
verse
Thine own sweet argument, too excellent
For every vulgar paper to rehearse?
0, give thyself the thanks, if aught in me 5
Worthy perusal stand against thy sight ;
For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee.
When thou tliyself dost give invention light?
Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth
Than those old nine which rhymers invocate ; 10
And he that calls on thee, let him bring forth
Eternal numbers to outlive long date.
If my slight Muse do please these curious days,
The pain be mine, but thine shall be the praise-

absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove,
Were it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave 10
To entertain the time with thoughts of love.
Which time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive,
And that thou teachest how to make one twain.
By praising him here who doth hence remain !
Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all ;
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before ?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call ;
All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.
Then, if for my love thou my love receivest, o
1 cannot blame thee for my love thou usest ;
But yet be blamed, if thou thyself deceivest
By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.
I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief.
Although thou steal thee all my poverty ; 10
And yet, love knows, it is a greater grief
To bear love's wrong than hate's known injury.
Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows.
Kill me with spites ; yet we must not be foes.

Those pretty wrongs that liberty commits.
When I am sometime absent from thy heart,
Thy beauty and thy years full well befits.
For still temptation follows where thou art.
Gentle thou art, and therefore to be won, 5
Beauteous thou art, therefore to be assailed ;
And when a woman woos, what woman's son
Will sourly leave her till she have prevailed ?
Ay me! but yet thou mightst my seat forbear.
And chide thy beauty and thy straying youth.
Who lead thee in their riot even there 11
Where thou art forced to break a twofold truth.
Hers, by thy beauty tempting her to thee,
Thine, by thy beauty being false to me.
43
That thou hast her, it is not all my grief.
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly ;
That she hath thee, is of my wailing chief,
A loss ill love that touches me more nearly.
Loving ott'enders, thus I will excuse ye: 5
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her ;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suftcring ray friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, ray loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss ;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain, 11
And both for my sake lay on me this cross;
But here's the joy ; ray friend and I are one ;
Sweet flattery ! then she loves but me alone.
43
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see.
For all the day they view things unrespected ;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee.
And, darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
2(3
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make
bright, 5
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light.
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shiues so !
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day, 10
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee.
And nights bright days when dreams do show
thee me.
44
If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
Injurious distance should not stop ray way;
For then, despite of space, I would be brought,
From limits far remote, where thou dost stay.
No matter then although my foot did stand 5
Upon the farthest earth removed from thee ;
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land,
As soon as think the place where he would be.
But, ah, thought kills me, that I am not thought.
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
But that, so much of earth and water wrought,
I must attend time's leisure with my moan ;
Receiving nought by elements so slow 13
But heavy tears, badges of cither's woe.

The first ray thought, the other my desire.
These present-absent with swift motion slide,

My life, being made of four, with two alone
Sinks down to death, oppress'd with melancholy;.
Until life's composition be recured 9'

Who even but now corae back again assured
Of thy fair health, recounting it to me ;

But the defendant doth that plea deny.
And says in him thy fair appearance lies.
To 'cide this title is impanneled
A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart ;
And by their verdict is deterrained 11'

As thus: mine eye's due is thine outward part.
And my heart's right thine inward love of heart.

And each doth good turns now unto the other;
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look.

And to the painted banquet bids my heart ; 6
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest.

So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away art present still with me; 10
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am. still with them and they with thee ;
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.
48
How careful was I, when I took my way,
Each trifle under truest bars to thrust,
That to my use it might unused stay
From hands of falsehood, in sure wards of trust !
But thou, to whom my jewels trifles are, 5
Most worthy comfort, now my greatest grief,
Thou, best of dearest and mine only care,
Art left the prey of every vulgar thief.
Thee have I not lock'd up in any chest.
Save where thou art not, though I feel thou art,
Within the gentle closure of my breast, 11
From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and
part;
And even thence thou wilt be stol'n, I fear.
For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear.
49
Against that time, if ever that time come.
When I shall see thee frown on my defects.
When as thy love hath cast his utmost sura,
Call'd to that audit by advised respects ; 4
Against tliat time when thou shalt strangely
pass.
And scarcely greet me with that sun, thine eye,
When love, converted from the thing it was,
Shall reasons find of settled gravity;
Against that time do I ensconce me here
Within the knowledge of mine own desert, 10
And this my hand against myself uprear.
To guard the lawful reasons on thy part;
To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws,
Since why to love I can allege no cause.
oO
How heavy do I journey on the way,
When what I seek, my weary travel's end.
Doth teach that ease and that repose to say,
' Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend !'
The beast that bears me, tired with my woe, 5
Plods dully on, to bear that weight in me,
As if by some instinct the wretch did know
His rider loved not speed, being made from thee;
The bloody spur cannot provoke him on
That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide;
Which heavily he answers with a groan, 11
More sharp to me than spurring to his side;
For that same groan doth put this in my mind:
My grief lies onward, and my joy behind.
51
Thus can my love excuse the slow offence
Of my dull bearer when from thee I speed ;
From where thou art why should I haste me
thence?
Till I return, of posting is no need.
O, what excuse will my poor beast then find,
When swift extremity can seem but slow ? 6
Then should I spur, though mounted on the wind.
In winged speed no motion shall I know;
Then can no horse with my desire keep pace;
Therefore desire, of perfect'st love being made,
Shall neigh, — no dull flesh, — in his fiery race; 11
But love, for love, thus shall excuse my jade ;
Since from thee going he went wilful-slow,
Towards thee I'll run and give him leave to go.
53
So am I as the rich, whose blessed key
Can bring him to his sweet up-locked treasure,
The which he will not every hour survey.
For blunting the fine point of seldom pleasure.
Therefore are feasts so solemn and so rare, 5
Since, seldom coming, in the long year set,
Like stones of worth they thinly placed are,
Or captain jewels in the carcanet.
So is the time that keeps you as my chest.
Or as the wardrobe which the robe doth hide,
To make some special instant special blest, H
By new unfolding his imprison'd pride.
Blessed are you, whose worthiness gives scope,
Being had, to triumph, being lack'd, to hope.
53
What is your substance, whereof are you made.
That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
Since every one hath, every one, one shade,
And you, but one, can every shadow lend.
Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit 5
Is poorly imitated after you ;
On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set,
And you in Grecian tires are painted new ;
Speak of the spring and foison of the year,
The one doth shadow of your beauty show, 10
The other as j'our bounty doth appear ;
And you in every blessed shape we know.
In all external grace you have some part.
But you like none, none you, for constant heart.
O, how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give !
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live.
The canker-blooms have full as deep a dye 5
As the perfumed tincture of the roses.
Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly
When summer's breath their masked buds dis-
closes ;
But, for their virtue only is their show.
They live unwoo'd and unrespected fade; 10
Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so ;
Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made ;
And so of you, beauteous and lovely youth,
Wheu that shall vade, by verse distills your
truth.
55
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents

'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth ; your praise shall still find
room 10
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till the judgement that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.
56
Sweet love, renew thy force ; be it not said
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,
Which but to-day by feeding is allay'd,
iTo-morrow sharpen'd in his former might ;
So, love, be thou ; although to-day thou fill 5
Thy hungry eyes even till they wink with full-
ness,
To-morrow see again, and do not kill
The spirit of love with a perpetual dullness.
Let this sad interim like the ocean be 9
Which parts the shore, where two contracted new
Come daily to the banks, that, when they see
Return of love, more blest may be the view ;
Or call it winter, which, being full of care,
Makes summer's welcome thrice more wish'd,
more rare.
sr
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire ?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require. 4
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu ;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, 10
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.
58
That god forbid that made me first your slave,
I should in thought control your times of pleasure,
Or at your hand the account of hours to crave.
Being your vassal, bound to stay your leisure !
O, let me sutler, being at your beck, 5
The imprison'd absence of your liberty ;
And patience, tame to suiFerance, bide each check,
Without accusing you of injury.
Be where you list, your charter is so strong
That you yourself may privilege your time 10
To what you will ; to you it doth belong
Yourself to pardon of self-doing crime.
I am to wait, though waiting so be hell,
Not blame your pleasure, be it ill or well.
59
If there be nothing new, but that which is
Hath been before, how are our brains beguiled,
Which, labouring for invention, bear amiss
The second burthen of a former child!
O, that record could with a backward look, 5
Even of five hundred courses of the sun,
Show me your image in some antique book,
Since mind at first in character was done,
That I might see what the old world could say
To this composed wonder of your frame ; 10
Whether wo are mended, or whether better they.
Or whether revolution be the same.
O, sure I am, the wits of former days
To subjects worse have given admiring praise.
60
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end ;
Each changing place with that which goes before.
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light, 5
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd.
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth.
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow, 10
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow ;
And yet to times in hope my verso shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
Is it thy will thy image should keep open
My heavy eyelids to the weary night ?
Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken,
While shadows like to thee do mock my sight?
Is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee 5
So far from home into my deeds to pry.
To find out shames and idle hours in me.
The scope and tenour of thy jealousy?
O, no ! thy love, though much, is not so great ;
It is my love that keeps miue eye awake ; 10
Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat.
To play the watchman ever for thy sake ;
For thee watch I whilst thou dost wake else-
where.
From me far off, with others all too near.
Sin of self-love possessetli all mine eye
And all my soul and all my every part ;
And for this sin there is no remedy.
It is so grounded inward in my heart.
Methiuks no face so gracious is as mine, 5
No shape so true, no truth of such account;
And for myself mine own worth do define,
As I all other in all worths surmount.
But when my glass shows me myself indeed,
Beated and chopp'd with tann'd antiquity, 10
Miue own self-love quite contrary I read ;
Self so self-loving were iniquity.
'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,
Painting my age with beauty of thy days.
63
Against my love shall be, as I am now,
With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'erworn ;
When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his
brow
With lines and wrinkles ; when his youthful morn
Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night, 5
And all those beauties whereof now he's king
Are vanishing or vanish'd out of sight,
Stealing away the treasure of his spring;
For such a time do I now fortify
Against confounding age's cruel knife, 10
That he shall never cut from memory
My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life;

SONNETS
[Son. 63-7/.
His beauty shall in these black lines be seen,
And they shall live, and he in them still green.
64
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced
The rich-proud cost of outworn buried age ;
When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed,
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage ;
When I have seen the hungry ocean gain 5
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore.
And the firm soil win of the watery main,
Increasing store with loss and loss with store ;
When I have seen such interchange of state,
Or state itself confounded to decay ; 10
Euin hath taught me thus to ruminate.
That Time will come and take my love away.
This thought is as a death, which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
65
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless
sea,
But sad mortality o'er-sways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out 5
Against the wreckful siege of battering days.
When rocks impregnable are not so stovit.
Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays ?
O fearful meditation ! where, alack, 9
Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid ?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back ?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
0, none, unless this miracle have might,
. That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
66
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold desert a beggar bom,
And needy nothing triram'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn.
And gilded honour shamefully misplaced, 5
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced.
And strength by limping sway disabled,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill, 10
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity.
And captive good attending captain ill ;
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone.
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.
Ah, wherefore with infection should he live
And with his presence grace impiety,
That sin by him advantage should achieve
And lace itself with his society?
Why should false painting imitate his cheek, 5
And steal dead seeing of his living hue?
Why should poor beauty indirectly seek
Eoses of shadow, since his rose is true?
Why should he live, now Nature bankrupt is,
Beggar'd of blood to blush through lively veins?
For she hath no exchequer now but his, 11
And, proud of many, lives upon his gains.
O, him she stores, to show what wealth she had
In days long since, before these last so bad.
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn,
When beauty lived and died as fiowei-s do now,
Before these bastard signs of fair were born.
Or durst inhabit on a living brow ;
Before the golden tresses of the dead, 5
The right of sepulchres, were shorn away,
To live a second life on second head ;
Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay;
In hiin those holy antique hours are seen.
Without all ornament, itself and true, 10
Making no summer of another's green,
Eobbing no old to dress his beauty new;
And him as for a map doth Nature store,
To show false Art what beauty was of yore.
69
Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view
Want nothing that the thought of hearts can
mend ;
All tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,
Uttering bare truth, even so as foes cormnend.
Thy outward thus with outward praise iscrown'd;
But those same tongues, that give thee so thine
own, 6
In other accents do this praise confound
By seeing farther than the eye hath shown.
They look into the beauty of thy mind,
And that, in guess, they measure by thy deeds;
Then, churls, their thoughts, although their eyes
were kind, 11
To thy fair flower add the rank smell of weeds ;
But why thy odour matcheth not thy show,
The soil is this, that thou dost common grow.
70
That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect.
For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;
The ornament of beauty is suspect,
A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.
So thou be good, slander doth but approve 5
Thy worth the greater, being woo'd of time ;
For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love,
And thou present'st a pure unstained prime.
Thou hast pass'd by the ambush of young days,
Either not assail'd, or victor being charged ; 10
Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise,
To tie up envy evermore enlarged ;
If some suspect of ill mask'd not thy show.
Then thou alone kingdoms of hearts shoiildst
owe.
No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
(iive warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell;
Nay, if you read this line, remember not 5
The hand that writ it ; for I love you so.
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
O, if, 1 say, you look upon this verse 9
When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse,
But let your love even with my life decay;
Lost the wise world should look into your moar.
And mock you with me after I am gone.

0, lest the world should task you to recite
What merit lived in me, that you should love
After my death, dear love, forget me quite.
For you in m.e can nothing worthy prove ;
Unless you would devise some virtuous lie, o
To do more for me than mine own desert,
And hang more praise upon deceased I
Than niggard truth would willingly impart;
O, lest your true love may seem false in this,
That you for love speak well of me untrue, 10
My name be buried where my body is.
And live no more to shame nor me nor you.
For I am shamed by that which I bring forth,
And so should you, to love things nothing worth.
That time of year thou mayst in me beiiold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the coid,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twiliglit of such day 5
As after sunset fadetli in the west ;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire.
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, 10
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love
more strong.
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
But be contented ; when that fell arrest
Without all bail shall carry me away,
My life hath in this line some interest,
Which for memorial still with thee shall stay.
When thou reviewest this, thou dost review 5
The very part was consecrate to thee;
The earth can have but earth, which is l«is due ;
My spirit is thine, the better part of me;
So then thou hast but lost the dregs of life,
The prey of worms, my body being dead ; 10
The coward conquest of a wretch's knife.
Too base of thee to be remembered.
The worth of that is that which it contains,
And that is this, and this with thee remains.
So are you to my thoughts as food to life.
Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground ;
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found ;
Now proud as an enjoyer, and anon 5
Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure ;
Now counting best to be with you alone.
Then bettei-'d that the world may see my pleasure ;
Sometime all full with feasting on your sight.
And by and by clean starved for a look ; 10
Possessing or pursuing no delight.
Save what is had or must from you be took.
Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day,
Or gluttoning on all, or all away.
Why is my verse so barren of new pride.
So far from variation or quick change ?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods and to compou nds strange ?
Why write I still all one, ever the same, 5
And keep invention in a noted weed.
That every word doth almost tell my name.
Showing their birth and where they did proceed?
O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument ; 10
So all my best is dressing old words new.
Spending again what is already spent ;
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.
Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear,
Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste ;
The vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear,
And of this book this learning mayst thou taste.
The wrinkles which thy glass will truly show
Of mouthed graves will give thee memory ;
Thou by thy dial's shady stealth mayst know
Time's thievish progress to eternity.
Look, wliat thy lueuiory cannot contain
Commit to tliese waste blanks, and thou shalt find
Those children nursed, deliver'd from thy brain.
To take a new acquaintance of thy mind. 12
These offices, so oft as thou wilt look,
Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book.
■rs
So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse
And found such fair assistance in my verse
As every alisn pen hath got my use
And under thee their poesy disperse.
Thine eyes, that taught the dumb on high to sing
And heavy ignorance aloft to fly, 6
Have added feathers to the learned's wing
And given grace a double majesty.
Yet be most proud of that which I compile,
Whose influence i.s thine and born of thee ; 10
In others' works thou dost but mend the style.
And arts with thy sweet graces graced be ;
But thou art all my art, and dost advance
As high as learning my rude ignorance.
Whilst I alone did call upon thy aid,
Mj"- verse alone had all thy gentle grace ;
But now my gracious numbers are decay'd,
And my sick Muse doth give another place.
I grant, sweet love, thy lovely argument 5
Deserves the travail of a worthier pen ;
Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent
He robs thee of, and pays it thee again.
He lends thee virtue, and he stole that word
From thy behaviour ; beauty dotli he give, 10
And found it in thy cheek ; he can afford
No praise to thee but what in thee doth live.
Then thank him not for that which he doth say,
Since what he owes thee thou thyself dost pay.
SO
O, how I faint when I of you do write,
Knowing a better spirit doth use your name,
And in the praise thereof spends all his might.
To make me tongue-tied, speaking of your fame!
But since your worth, wide as the ocean is, 5
The humble as the proudest sail doth bear.
My saucy bark, inferior far to his.
On your broad main doth wilfully appear.

Your shallowest help will hold me up afloat,
Whilst he upon your soundless deep doth ride ;
Or, being wreck'd, I am a worthless boat, 11
He of tall building and of goodly pride;
Then if he thrive and I be cast away.
The worst was this ; my love was my decay.
81
Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
Or you survive when I in earth am rotten ;
From hence your memory death cannot take,
Although in me each part will be forgotten. 4
Tour name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die ;
The earth can yield me but a common grave.
When )'ou entombed in men's eyes shall lie.
Your monument shall be my gentle verse.
Which eyes not yet created shall o'er-read ; 10
And tongues to be your being, shall rehearse.
When all the breathers of this -world are dead ;
You still shall live,^such virtue liath my pen, —
Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths
of men.
83
I grant thou wert not married to my Muse,
And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook
The dedicated words which writers use
Of their fair subject, blessing every book.
Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue, 5
Finding thy worth a limit past my praise;
And therefore art enforced to seek anew
Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days.
And do so, love ; yet when they have devised
What strained touches rhetoric can lend, 10
Thou truly fair wert truly sympathized
In true plain words by thy true-telling friend;
And their gross painting might be better used
Where cheeks need blood ; in tliee it is abused.
83
I never saw that you did painting need,
And therefore to your fair no painting set;
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed
The barren tender of a poet's debt ;
And therefore have I slept in your report, o
That you yourself, being extant, well might show
How far a modern quill doth come too short.
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.
This silence for ray sin you did impute.
Which shall be most my glory, being dumb; 10
For I impair not beauty being mute.
When others would give life and bring a tomb.
There lives more life in one of j^our fair eyes
Than both your poets can in praise devise.
84
Who is it that says most? which can say more
Than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
In whose confine immured is the store
Which should example where your equal grew.
I>ean penury within that pen doth dwell 5
That to his subject lends not some small glory ;
But he that writes of you, if he can tell
That you are you, so dignifies his story,
Let him but copy what in you is writ.
Not making worse what nature made so clear,
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit, 11
Making his style admired every where.
You to your beauteous blessings add a curse,
Being fond on praise, which makes your praises
worse.
85
My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still,
While comments of your praise, richly compiled,
Reserve their character with golden quill.
And precious phrase by all the Muses filed.
I think good thoughts, whilst other write good
words, 5
And, like unletter'd clerk, still cry 'Amen'
To every hj'mn that able spirit affords.
In polisli'd form of well refined pen.
Hearing you praised, I say "Tis so, 'tis true,'
And to the most of praise add something more ;
But that is in my thought, whose love to you, 11
Though words come hindmost, holds his rank
before.
Then others for the breath of words respect.
Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.
86
Was it the proud full sail of his great verse,
Bound for the prize of all too precious you,
That did my ripe thoughts in my brain inhearse,
Making their tomb the womb wherein they grew?
Was it his sjiirit, by spirits taught to write 6
Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead?
No, neither he, nor his compeers by night
Giving him aid my verse astonished.
He, nor that affable familiar ghost
Which nightly gulls him with intelligence,
As victors, of my silence cannot boast; 11
I was not sick of any fear from thence;
But when yoiir countenance fill'd up his line,
Then lack'd I matter ; that enfeebled mine.
sr
Farewell ! thou art too dear for my possessing,
And like enougli thou know'st thy estimate;
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;
My bonds in thee are all determinate. 4
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting?
And for that riches where is my deserving ?
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting.
And .so my patent back again is swerving.
Thyself thou gavest, thy own worth then not
knowing, 9
Or me, to whom thou gavest it, else mistaking ;
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing.
Comes home again, on better judgement making.
Thus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter,
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.
88
When thou shalt be disposed to set me light,
And place my merit in the eye of scorn
Upon thy side against myself I'll fight.
And prove thee virtuous, though thou art for-
sworn.
With mine own weakness being best acquainted,
Upon thy part I can set down a story 6
Of faults conceal'd, wherein I am attainted ;
That thoii in losing me shalt win much glory;
And I by this will be a gainer too ;
For bending all my loving thoughts on thee.
The injuries that to myself I do, 11
Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.

Against thy reasons making no defence.
Thou canst not, love, disgrace me half so ill,
To set a form upon desired change, 6
As I'll m}'sclf disgrace; knowing thy will,
I will acquaintance strangle and look strange;
Be absent from thy walks ; and in my tongue
Thy sweet beloved name no more shall dwell,
Lest I, too much profane, should do it wrong,
And haply of our old acquaintance tell. 12
For thee, against myself I'll vow debate.
For I must ne'er love him whom thou dost hate.
90
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss ;
Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sor-
row, 5
Come in the rearward of a conquered woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow.
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last.
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come ; so shall I taste 11
At first the very worst of fortune's might;
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe.
Compared with loss of thee will not seem so.
91
Some glory in their birth, some in their skill.
Some in their wealth, some in their body's force;
Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill;
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their
horse ;
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest ; 6
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best.
Thy love is better than high birth to me.
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost.
Of more delight Than hawks or horses be; 11
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast ;
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away and me most wretched make.
93
But do thy worst to steal thyself away,
For term of life thou art assured mine;
And life no longer than thy love will stay,
For it depends upon that love of thine.
Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs, 5
When in the least of them my life hath end.
I see a better state to me belongs
Than that which on thy humour doth depend ;
Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind.
Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie. 10
O, what a happy title do I find,
Happy to have thy love, happy to die !
But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot?
Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.
93
So shall I live, supposing thou art true.
Like a deceived husband ; so love's face
May still seem love to me, though alter'd new ;
Thy looks with me, thy heart in other place;
For there can live no hatred in thine eye, 5
Therefore in that I cannot know thy change.
In many's looks the false heart's histoiy
Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange,
But heaven in thy creation did decree 9
That in thy face sweet love should ever dwell ;
Whato'erthy thoughts or thy heart's workings be.
Thy looks should nothing thence but sweetness
tell.
How like Eve's apple doth thj' beauty grow,
If thy sweet virtue answer not thy show !
They that have power to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show.
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow;
They rightly do inherit heaven's graces 5
And husband nature's riches from expense ;
They are the lords and owners of their faces.
Others but stewards of their excellence.
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet.
Though to itself it only live and die, 10
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity ;
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds ;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame
Which, like a canker in the fragrant rose.
Doth spot the beauty of thy budding name !
O, in what sweets dost thou thy sins inclose !
That tongue that tells the story of thy da)'s, 5
Making lascivious comments on thy sport.
Cannot dispraise but in a kind of praise;
Naming thy name blesses an ill report.
O, what a mansion have those vices got
Which for their habitation chose out thee, 10
Where beauty's veil doth cover every blot
And all things turn to fair that eyes can see !
Take heed, dear heart, of this large ijrivilege;
The hardest knife ill used doth lose his edge.
9e
Some say, thy fault is youth, some wantonness;
Some say, thy grace is youth and gentle sport ;
Both grace and faults are loved of more and less ;
Thou makest faults graces that to thee resort.
As on the finger of a throned queen 5
The basest jewel will be well esteem'd.
So are those errors that in thee are seen
To truths translated and for true things deem'd.
How many lambs might the stern wolf betray.
If like a lamb he could his looks translate ! 10
How many gazers mightst thou lead away.
If thou wouldst use the strength of all thy state
But do not so ; I love thee in such sort.
As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.

How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year I
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen !
What old December's bareness every where ! 4

And yet this time removed was summer's time ;
The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burthen of tlie prime,
Like widow'd wombs after their lord's decease;
Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me
But hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit ;
For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,
And, thou away, the very birds are mute ;
Or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer
That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's

98
From you have I been absent in the spring.
When proud-pied April, dress'd in all his trim.
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd witli him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell 5
Of different flowers in odour and in hue.
Could make me any summer's story tell.
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they
grew ;
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermillion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but tigures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
Yet seem'd it winter still, and, you away.
As with your shadow I with these did play
99
The forward violet thus did I chide :
Sweet thief, whence didst thou steal thy sweet
that smells.
If not from my love's breath? The purple pride
Which on thy soft cheek for complexion dwells
In my love's veins thou hast too grossly dyed.
The lily I condemned for thy hand, 6
And buds of marjoram had stol'n thy hair ;
The roses fearfully on thorns did stand.
One blushing shame, another white despair;
A third, nor red nor white, had stol'n of both, 10
And to his robbery had annex'd thy breath ;
But, for his theft, in pride of all his growth
A vengeful canker eat him up to death.
More flowers I noted, yet I none could see
But sweet or colour it had stol'n from thee.
Where art thou. Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy inight?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song.
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent ; 6
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Else, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there; 10
If any, be a satire to decay.
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life ;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends
For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyed?
Both truth and beauty on my love depends ;
So dost thou too, and therein dignified.
Make answer. Muse ; wilt thou not haply say:
' Truth needs no colour, with his colour fix'd ;
Beauty no pencil, beauty's truth to lay ;
But best is best, if never intermix'd'?
Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb?
Excuse not silence so, for 't lies in thee 10
To make him much outlive a gilded tomb
And to be praised of ages yet to be.
Then do thy office. Muse ; I teach thee how
To make him seem long hence as he shows now.
103
My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in
seeming;
I love not less, though less the show appear ;
That love is merchandized whose rich esteeming
The owner's tongue doth publish every where.
Our love was new, and then but in the spring, 5
When I was wont to greet it with my lays ;
As Philomel in summer's front doth sing.
And stops her pipe in growth of riper days ;
Not that the summer is less pleasant now
Than when her mournful hymns did hush the
night, 10
But that wild music burthens every bough.
And sweets grown common lose their dear delight.
Therefore, like her, I sometime hold my tongue,
Because I would not dull you with my song.
103
Alack, what poverty my Muse brings forth,
That having such a scope to show her pride.
The argument, all bare, is of more worth
Than when it hath my added praise beside !
O, blame me not, if I no more can write ! 5
Look in your glass, and there appears a face
That over-goes my blunt invention quite.
Dulling my lines and doing me disgrace.
Were it not sinful then, striving to mend.
To mar the subject that before was well ? 10
For to no other pass my verses tend
Than of your graces and your gifts to tell ;
And more, much more, than in my verse can sit.
Your own glass shows you when you look in it.
104
To me, fair friend, you never can be old.
For as you were when first your eye I eyed.
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold
Have from the forests shook three summers' pride.
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd
In process of the seasons have I seen, 6
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
Ah, yet doth beauty, like a dial-hand, 9
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceived;
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth
stand.
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceived;
For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred :
Ere you were born was beauty's summor dead.
lOS
Let not my love be call'd idolatry,
Nor my beloved as an idol show.
Since all alike my songs and praises be
To one, of one, still such, and ever so.

Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind, 5
Still constant in a wondrous excellence;
Therefore my verse to constancy confined,
One thing expressing, leaves out ditt'erence.
' Fair, kind, and true,' is all my argument,
'Fair, kind, and true,' varying to other words;
And in this change is my invention spent, 11
Three themes in one, which wondrous scope af-
fords.
'Fair, kind, and true,' have often lived alone,
Which three till now never kept seat in one.
106
When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights.
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best, 5
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you pretiguring; 10
And, for they look'd but with divining eyes.
They had not skill enough your worth to sing;
For we, which now behold those present days.
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world dreaming on things to come,
Can yet the lease of my true love control,
Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom.
The mortal moon hath her eclipse endured, 5
And the sad augurs mock their own presage;
Incertainties now crown themselves assured,
And peace proclaims olives of endless age.
Now with the drops of this most balmy time 9
My love looks fresh, and Death to me subscribes.
Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme,
While he insults o'er dull and speechless tribes;
And thou in this shalt find thy monument.
When tyrants' crests and tombs of brass are
spent.
108
What's in the brain, that ink may character.
Which hath not figured to thee my true spirit?
What's new to speak, what new to register.
That may express my love, or thy dear merit?
Nothing, sweet boy ; but yet, like prayers divine,
I must each day say o'er the very same ; G
Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine.
Even as when first I hallow'd thy fair name.
So that eternal love in love's fresh case
Weighs not the dust and injury of age, 10
Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place.
But makes antiquity for aye his page;
Finding the first conceit of love there bred.
Where time and outward form would show it
dead.
109
O, never say that I was false of heart.
Though absence seem'd my flame to qualify.
As easy might I from myself depart
As from my soul, which in thy breast doth lie;
That is my home of love; if I have ranged, 5
Like him that travels, I return again ;
Just to the time, not with the time exchanged.
So that myself bring water for my stain.
Never believe, though in my nature relgn'd
All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood, 10
That it could so preposterously be stain'd,
To leave for nothing all thy sura of good ;
For nothing this wide universe I call.
Save thou, my rose ; in it thou art my all.
110
Alas, 'tis true I have gone here and there,
And made myself a motley to the view,
Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is
most dear.
Made old offences of affections new ;
Most true it is that I have look'd on truth 5
Askance and strangely ; but, by all above.
These blenches gave my heart another youth,
And worse essays proved thee my best of love.
Now all is done, have what shall have no end ;
Mine appetite I never more will grind 10
On newer proof, to try an older friend,
A god in love, to whom I am confined.
Then give me welcome, next my heaven the
best,
Even to thy pure and most most loving breast.
Ill
0, for my sake do you with Fortune chide,
The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds.
That did not better for my life provide
Than public means which public manners breeds.
Thence comes it that my name receives a brand,
And almost thence my nature is subdued 6
To what it works in, like the dyer's hand ;
Pity me then and wish I were renew'd ;
Whilst, like a willing patient, I will drink
Potions of eisel 'gainst my strong infection; 10
No bitterness that I will bitter think.
Nor double penance, to correct correction.
Pity me then, dear friend, and I assure ye
Even that your pity is enough to cure me.
113
Your love and pity doth the impression fill
Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow ;
For what care I who calls me well or ill.
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow ?
You are my all the world, and I must strive 5
To know my shames and praises from your
tongue ;
None else to me, nor I to none alive.
That my steel'd sense or changes right or wrong.
In so profound abysm I throw all care
Of others' voices, that my adder's sense 10
To critic and to flatterer stopped are.
Mark how with my neglect I do dispense :
You are so strongly in my purpose bred
That all the world besides methinks are dead,
113
Since I left you mine eye is in my mind,
And that which governs me to go about
Doth part his function and is partly blind,
Seems seeing, but effectually is out;
For it no form delivers to the heart 5
Of bird, of flower, or shape, which it doth latch ;
Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,
Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch ;

For if it see the rudest or gentlest sight,
The most sweet favour or deformed'st creature,
The mountain or the sea, the day or night, 11
The crow or dove, it shapes them to your feature ;
Incapable of more, replete with you,
My most true mind thus maketh mine untrue.
114
Or whether doth my mind, being crown'd with
you.
Drink up the monarch's plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say, mine eye saith true.
And that your love taught it this alchemy.
To make of monsters and things indigest 5
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best.
As fast as objects to his beams assemble ?
O, 'tis the first ; 'tis flattery in my seeing, 9
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up ;
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'gree-
ing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup ;
If it be poison'd, 'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.
115
Those lines that I before have writ do lie.
Even those that said I could not love you dearer ;
Yet then my judgement knew no reason why
My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer.
But reckoning Time, whose million'd accidents 5
Creep in 'twixt vows, and change decrees of kings.
Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents.
Divert strong minds to the course of altering
things ;
Alas, why, fearing of Time's tyranny.
Might I not then say ' Now I love you best,' 10
When I was certain o'er incertainty.
Crowning the present, doubting of the rest?
Love is a babe ; then might I not say so,
To give full growth to that which still doth
grow ?
116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds.
Or bends with the remover to remove ;
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, 5
That looks on tempests and is never shaken ;
It is the star to every wandering bark.
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be
taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come ; 10
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks.
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
iir
Accuse me thus : that I have scanted all
Wherein I should your great deserts repay,
Forgot upon your dearest love to call.
Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day ; 4
That I have frequent been with unknown minds,
And given to time your own dear-purchased right ;
That I have hoisted sail to all the winds
Which should transport me farthest from your
sight.
Book both my wilfulness and errors down.
And on just proof surmise accumulate ; 10
Bring me within the level of your frown.
But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate ;
Since my appeal says I did strive to prove
The constancy and virtue of your love.

Like as, to make our appetites more keen.
With eager compounds we our palate urge ;
As, to prevent our maladies unseen,
We sicken to shun sickness when we purge ;
Even so, being full of your ne'er-cloying sweet-

To bitter sauces did I frame my feeding;
And sick of welfare found a kind of meetness
To be diseased, ere that there was true needing.
Thus policy in love, to anticipate
The ills that were not, grew to faults assured.
And brought to medicine a healthful state, 11
Which, rank of goodness, would by ill be cured ;
But thence I learn, and find the lesson true,
Drugs poison him that so fell sick of you.

What potions have I drunk of Siren tears,
Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within.
Applying fears to hopes and hopes to fears.
Still losing when I saw myself to win ! 4
What wretched errors hath my heart committed.
Whilst it hath thought itself so blessed never!
How have mine eyes out of their spheres been

In the distraction of this madding fever !

That better is by evil still made better; 10

Grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater.

And gained by iU thrice more than I have spent.

That you were once unkind befriends me now,

Unless my nerves were brass or haramer'd steel.
For if you were by my unkindness shaken, 5

And I, a tyrant, have no leisure taken
To weigh how once I suflTer'd in your crime.
O, that our night of woe might have remeraber'd

The humble salve which wounded bosoms fits!
But that your trespass now becomes a fee;
Mine ransoms yours, and yours must ransom

When not to be receives reproach of being;
And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed

Or on my frailties why are frailer spies.
Which in their wills count bad what I thiuk

Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain
Full charactered with lasting memory,

Till each to razed oblivion yield his part
Of thee, thy record never can be miss'd.
That poor retention could not so much hold,

To trust those tables that receive thee more ;
To keep an adjunct to remember thee

Made more or less by thy continual haste.
This I do vow, and this shall ever be,

It sutlers not in smiling pomp, nor falls
Under the blow of thralled discontent,

For compound sweet foregoing simple savour.
Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent?
No, let me be obsequious in thy heart,

As thou goest onwards, still will pluck thee back,
She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill
May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill.

In the old age black was not counted fair.
Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name ;
But now is black beauty's successive heir,
And beauty slander'd with a bastard shame; 4
For since each hand hath put on nature's power,
Fairing the foul with art's false borrow'd face,
Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,
But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace.
Therefore my mistress' eyes are raven black,
Her eyes so suited, and tliey mourners seem
At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack, 11
Slandering creation with a false esteem ;
Yet so they mourn, becoming of their woe.
That every tongue says beauty should look so.

How oft, when thou, my music, music play'st.
Upon that blessed wood whose motion sounds
With thy sweet fingers, when thou gently sway'st
The wiry concord that mine ear confounds.
Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap 5
To kiss the tender inward of thy hand,
Whilst my poor lips, which should that harvest
reap,
At the wood's boldness by thee blushing stand!
To be so tickled, they would change their state
And situation with those dancing chips, 10
O'er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait,
Making dead wood more blest than living lips.
Since saucy jacks so happy are in this,
Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss.

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action ; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust ;
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight ; 5
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallow'd bait.
On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
Mad in pursuit, and in possession so ;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe; 11
Before, a joy proposed ; behind, a dream.

Coral is far more red than her lips' red ;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun ;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd red and white, 5
But no such roses see I in her cheeks ;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music liath a far more pleasing sound ; 10
I grant I never saw a goddess go.
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the
ground ;
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
. As any she belied with false compare.

Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art.
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel ;
For well thou kuow'st to my dear doting heart
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold, 5
Thy face hath not the power to make love groan ;
To say they err I dare not be so bold,
Although I swear it to myself alone.
And to be sure tliat is not false I swear,
A thousand groans, but thinking on thy face.
One on another's neck, do witness bear 11
Thy black is fairest in my judgement's place.
In nothing art thou black save in thy deeds,
And thence this slander, as I think, proceeds.

Thine eyes I love, and they, as pitying me,
Knowing thy heart torments me with disdain,
Have put on black and loving mourners be,
Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
And truly not the morning sun of heaven 5
Better becomes the grey cheeks of the east,
Nor that full star that ushers in the even
Doth half that glory to the sober west.
As those two mourning eyes become thy face ;
O, let it then as well beseem thy heart 10
To mourn for me, since mourning doth thee grace,
And suit thy pity like in every part.
Then will I swear beauty herself is black.
And all they foul that thy complexion lack.

Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to groan
For that deep wound it gives my friend and me!
Is't not enough to torture me alone.
But slave to slavery my sweet'st friend must be ?
Me from myself thy cruel eye hath taken, 5
And my next self thou harder hast engrossed ;
Of him, myself, and thee, I am forsaken ;
A torment thrice threefold thus to be crossed.
Prison my heart in thy steel bosom's ward.
But then my friend's heart let my poor heart bail ;
Whoe'er keeps me, let my heart be his guard; 11
Thou canst not then use rigour in my gaol ;
And yet thou wilt ; for I, being pent in thee,
Perforce am thine, and all that is in me.

And I myself am mortgaged 10 thy will,
Myself I'll forfeit, so that other mine
Thou wilt restore, to be my comfort still;
But thou wilt not, nor he will not be free, 5
For thou art covetous and he is kind ;
He learn'd but surety-like to write for me.
Under that bond that him as fast doth biud.
The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take,
Thou usurer, that put'st forth all to use, 10
And sue a friend came debtor for my sake ;
So him I lose through my unkind abuse.
Him have I lost ; thou hast both him and me ;
He pays the whole, and yet am I not free.

Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy ' Will,'
And 'Will' to boot, and 'Will' in overplus;
More than enough am I that vex thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious, 5
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?
The sea, all water, yet receives rain still,
And in abundance addeth to his store ; 10
So thou, being rich in ' Will,' add to thy ' Will '
One will of mine, to make thy large ' Will' more.
Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill ;
Think all but one, and me in that one ' Will.

And will, thy soul knows, is admitted there ;
Thus far for love, my love-suit, sweet, fulftl.
' Will' will fulfil the treasure of thy love, 5
Ay, fill it full with wills, and my will one.
In things of great receipt with ease we prove
Among a number one is reckon'd none ;
Then in the number let me pass untold.

Whereto the judgement of my heart is tied?
Why should my heart think that a several plot
Which my heart knows the wide world's common

Or mine eyes seeing this, say this is not,
To put fair truth upon so foul a face?
In things right true my heart and eyes have

When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutor'd youth,
Unlearned in tlie world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best.
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue ; 7
On both sides thus is simple truth supprest.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust ?
And wherefore say not I that I am old ? 10
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told ;
Therefore I lie with her and she with me.
And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be.

O, call not me to justify the wrong
That thy unkindness lays upon my heart;
Wound me not with thine eye, but with thy

Use power with power, and slay me not by art.
Tell me thou lovest elsewhere ; but in my sight.
Dear heart, forbear to glance thine eye aside ; 6
What need'st thou wound with cunning, when
thy might
Is more than my o'er-press'd defence can bide?
Let me excuse thee : ah, my love well knows
Her pretty looks have been mine enemies ; 10
And therefore from my face she turns my foes,
That they elsewhere might dart their injuries;
Yet do not so ; but since I am near slain.
Kill me outright with looks, and rid my pain.

Be wise as thou art cruel ; do not press
My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain ;
Lest sorrow lend me words, and words express
The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
If I might teach thee wit, better it were, 5
Though not to love, yet, love, to tell me so ;
As testy sick men, when their deaths be near,
No news but health from their physicians know ;
For, if I should despair, I should grow mad.
And in my madness might speak ill of thee;
Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad,
Mad slanderers by mad ears believed be. 12

Bear thine eyes straight, though thy proud
heart go wide.

Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone.
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone ;
But my five wits nor my five senses can 9
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man.
Thy proud heart's slave and vassal wretch to be ;
Only my plague thus far I count my gain.
That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate,
Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving;

That have profaned their scarlet ornaments
And seal'd false bonds of love as oft as mine,
Eobb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents.
Be it lawful I love thee, as tlrou lovest those
Whom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee ;

Sets down her babe, and makes all swift dispatch
In pursuit of the thing she would have stay ;
Whilst her neglected child holds her in chase,
Cries to catch her whose busy care is bent 6
To follow that which flies before her face.
Not prizing her poor infant's discontent ;
So runn'st thou after that which flies from thee,
Whilst I thy babe chase thee afar behind ; 10
But if thou catch thy hope, turn back to me.
And play the mother's part, kiss me, be kind ;
So will I pray that thou mayst have thy ' Will,'
If thou turn back and my loud crying still.
144
Two loves I have of comfort and despair.
Which like two spirits do suggest me still ;
The better angel is a man right fair.
The worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.
To win me soon to hell, my female evil 5
Tempteth my better angel from my side.
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil.
Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
And whether that my angel be turn'd fiend
Suspect I may, yet not directly tell ; 10
But being both from me, both to each friend,
I guess one angel in another's hell ;
Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt,
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
145
Those lips that Love's own hand did make
Breathed forth the sound that said ' I hate,'
To me that languish'd for her sake ;
But when she saw my woeful state.
Straight in her heart did mercy come, 5
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom ;
And taught it thus anew to greet;
' I hate ' she alter'd with an end,
That foUow'd it as gentle day 10
Doth follow night, who, like a fiend.
From heaven to hell is flown away ;
' I hate ' from hate away she threw,
And saved my life, saying ' not you.'
146
Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,
My sinful earth these rebel powers that thee ar-
ray.
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth,
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?
414
SONNETS
[Son 146-154.
Wby so large cost, having so short a lease, 5
Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend ?
Shall worms, inheritors of this excess,
Eat up thy charge ? is this thy body's end ?
Then, soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss,
And let that pine to aggravate thy store ; 10
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross ;
Within be fed, without be rich no more ;
So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men.
And Death once dead, there's no more dying
then.
My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease;
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love, 5
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept.
Hath left me, and I desperate now ajoprove
Desire is death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is ijast care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest ; 10
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are,
At random from the truth vainly express'd ;
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee
bright.
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
148
me, what eyes hath Love put in my head.
Which have no correspondence with true sight !
Or, if they have, where is my judgement fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright ?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote, 5
What means the world to say it is not so ?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's ; no,
How can it? O, how can Love's eye be true,
That is so vex'd with watching and with tears?
iSfo marvel then, though I mistake my view, 11
The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.
cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me
blind.
Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.
149
Canst thou, O cruel ! say I love thee not.
When I against myself with thee partake ?
Do I not tliink on thee, when I forgot
Am of myself, all tyrant, for thy sake?
Who hateth thee that I do call my friend? 5
On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon ?
Nay, if thou lour'st on me, do I not spend
Revenge upon myself with present moan ?
What merit do I in myself respect.
That is so proud thy service to despise, 10
When all my best doth worship thy defect,
Commanded by the motion of thine eyes ?
But, love, hate on, for now I know thy mind ;
Those that can see thou lovest, and I am blind.
150
O, from what power hast thou this powerful might
With insufficiency my heart to sway ?
To make me give the lie to my true sight.
And swear that brightness doth not grace the day ?
Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill.
That in the very refuse of thy deeds 6
There is such strength and warrantise of skill.
That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?
Who taught thee how to make me love thee more,
The more I hear and see just cause of hate?
O, though I love what others do abhor, 11
With others thou shouldst not abhor my state ;
If thy unworthiness raised love in me,
More worthy I to be beloved of thee.
151
Love is too young to know what conscience is ;
Yet who knows not conscience is born of love?
Then, gentle cheater, virge not my amiss.
Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove ;
For, thou betraying me, I do betray 5
My nobler part to my gross body's treason ;
My soul doth tell my body that he may
Triumph in love; flesh stays no farther reason,
But rising at thy name doth point out thee
As his triumphant prize. Proud of this pride.
He is contented thy poor drudge to be, 11
To stand in thy affairs, fall by thy side.
No want of conscience hold it that I call
Her 'love' for whose dear love I rise and fall.
153
In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn.
But thou art twice forsworn, to me love swearing ;
In act thy bed-vow broke, and new faith torn,
In vowing new hate after new love bearing. 4
But why of two oaths' breach do I accuse thee,
When I break twenty? I am perjured most;
For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee,
And all my honest faith in thee is lost;
For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness,
Oatlis of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy; 10
And, to enlighten thee, gave eyes to blindness.
Or made them swear against the thing they see ;
For I have sworn thee fair; more perjured I,
To swear against the truth so foul a lie !
153
Cupid laid by his brand and fell asleep ;
A maid of Dian's this advantage found.
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground ;
Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love 5
A dateless, lively heat, still to endure.
And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove
Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.
But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-tired.
The boy for trial needs would touch my breast ;
I, sick withal, tlie help of bath desired, II
And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest,
But found no cure; the bath for my help lies
Where Cupid got new fire, my mistress' eyes.
154
The little Love-god lying once asleep
Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand.
Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste Ufa to
keep
Came tripping by ; but in her maiden hand
The fairest votary took up that fire 5
Which many legions of true hearts had warm'd;
And so the general of hot desire
Was sleeping by a virgin hand disarm'd.
Tliis brand she quenched in a cool well by.
Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual, 10
Growing a bath and healthful remedy
For men diseased ; but I, my mistress' thrall.
Came there for cure, and this by that I prove,
Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
A LOVER'S COMPLAINT
Feom off a hill whose concave womb re-worded
A plain tful story from a sistering vale,
My spirits to attend this double voice accorded,
And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale ;
Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, 5
Tearing of papers, breaking rings a-twain.
Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain.
Upon her head a platted hive of straw,
Which fortified her visage from the sun,
Wliereon the though t might think sometime it saw
The carcass of a beauty spent and done ; 11
Time had not scythed all that youth begun,
Nor youth all quit; but, spite of heaven's fell rage.
Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age.
Oft did she heave her napkin to her eyne, 15
Which on it had conceited characters.
Laundering the silken figures in the brine
That season'd woe had pelleted in tears.
And often reading what contents it bears ;
As often shrieking undistinguish'd woe, 20
In clamours of all size, both high and low.
Sometimes her levell'd eyes their carriage ride,
As they did battery to the spheres intend ;
Sometime diverted their poor balls are tied 24
To the orbed earth ; sometimes they do extend
Their view right on ; anon their gazes lend
To every place at once, and nowhere fix'd
The mind and sight distractedly commix'd.
Her hair, nor loose nor tied in formal plat,
Proclaim'd in her a careless hand of pride ; 30
For some, uutuck'd, descended her sheaved hat.
Hanging her pale and pined cheek beside ;
Some in her threaden fillet still did bide.
And, true to bondage, would not break from
thence, S4
Though slackly braided in loose negligence.
A thousand favours from a maund she drew
Of amber, crystal, and of beaded jet.
Which one by one she in a river threw.
Upon whose weeping margent she was set ;
Like usury, applying wet to wet, 40
Or monarch's hands that lets not bounty fall
Where want cries some, but where excess begs all.
Of folded schedules had she many a one.
Which she perused, sigh'd, tore, and gave the flood ;
Crack'd many a ring of posied gold and bone,
Bidding them find their sepulchres in mud ; 46
Found yet moe letters sadly pcnn'd in blood,
With sleided silk feat and affectedly
Enswathed, and seal'd to curious secrecy.
These often bathed she in her fluxive eyes, 50
And often kiss'd, and often 'gan to tear;
Cried, ' O false blood, thou register of lies,
Wliat unapproved witness dost thou bear!
Ink would have seem'd more black and damned
here !'
This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, 55
Big discontent so breaking their contents.
A reverend man that grazed his cattle nigh, —
Sometime a blusterer, that the ruffle knew
Of court, of city, and had let go by
The swiftest hours, observed as they flew, — 60
Towards this afilicted fancy fastly drew ;
And, privileged by age, desires to know
In brief the grounds and motives of her woe.
So slides he down upon his grained bat,
And comelj'-distant sits he by her side ; 65
When he again desires her, being sat,
Her grievance with his hearing to divide ;
If that from him there may be aught applied
Which may her suffering ecstasy assuage,
'Tis promised in the charity of age. 70
'Father,' she says, 'though in me you behold
The injury of many a blasting hour,
Let it not tell your judgement I am old ;
Not age, but sorrow, over me hath power ;
I might as yet have been a spreading flower,
Fresh to myself, if I had self-applied 76
Love to myself, and to no love beside.
' But, woe is me ! too early I attended
A youthful suit, — it was to gain my grace, —
Of one by nature's outwards so commended.
That maidens' eyes stuck over all his face ; 81
Love lack'd a dwelling and made him her place ;
And when in his fair parts she did abide,
She was new lodged and newly deified.
' His browny locks did hang in crooked curls ;
And every light occasion of the wind 86
Upon his lips their silken jjarcels hurls.
What's sweet to do, to do will aptly find ;
Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind ;
For on his visage was in little drawn 90
What largeness thinks in Paradise was sawn.
' Small show of man was yet upon his chin ;
His phcenix down began but to appear.
Like unshorn velvet, on that termless skin, 94
Whose bare out-bragg'd the web it seem'd to wear;
Yet showed his visage by that cost more dear;
And nice affections wavering stood in doubt
If best were as it was, or best without.

A LOVER'S COMPLAINT
[Line 99-217,
' His qualities were beauteous as his form, 99
For maiden-tongued he was, and thereof free;
Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm
As oft 'twixt May and April is to see.
When winds breathe sweet, unruly though they
be.
His rudeness so with his authorized youth
Did livery falseness in a pride of truth. 105
' Well could he ride, and often men would say,
" That horse his mettle from his rider takes ;
Proud of subjection, noble by the sway,
What rounds, what bounds, what course, what
stop he makes !"
And controversy hence a question takes, 110
Whether the horse by him became his deed,
Or he his manage by the well-doing steed.
' But quickly on tliis side the verdict went ;
His real habitude gave life and grace
To appertainings and to ornament, 115
Accomplish'd in himself, not in his case ;
All aids, themselves made fairer by their place,
Came for additions ; yet their purposed trim
Pieced not his grace, but were all graced by him.
' So on the tip of his subduing tongue 120
All kind of arguments and question deep,
All replication prompt and reason strong.
For his advantage still did wake and sleep ;
To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weep.
He had the dialect and different skill, 125
Catching all passions in his craft of will ;
' That he did in the general bosom reign
Of young, of old, and sexes both enchanted.
To dwell with him in thoughts, or to remain 129
In personal duty, following where he haunted;
Consents bewitched, ere he desire, have granted.
And dialogued for him what he would say,
Ask'd their own wills and made their wills obey.
' Many there were that did his picture get, 134
To serve their eyes, and in it put their mind ;
Like fools that in the imagination set
The goodly objects which abroad they find
Of lands and mansions, theirs in thought assign'd ;
And labouring in moe pleasures to bestow them
Than the true gouty landlord which doth owe
them ; 140
' So many have, that never touch'd his hand.
Sweetly supposed them mistress of his heart.
My woeful self, that did in freedom stand.
And was my own fee-simple, not in part, 144
What with his art in youth, and youth in art.
Threw my affections in his charmed power,
Eeserved the stalk and gave him all my flower.
' Yet did I not, as some my equals did.
Demand of him, nor being desired yielded ;
Finding myself in honour so forbid, 150
With safest distance I mine honour shielded;
Experience for me many bulwarks builded
Of proofs new-bleeding, which remaiu'd the foil
Of this false jewel, and his amorous spoil.
' But, ah, who ever shunn'd by precedent 155
The destined ill she must herself assay?
Or forced examples, 'gainst her own content,
To put the by-past perils in her way ?
Counsel may stop awhile what will not stay;
For when we rage, advice is often seen 160
By blunting us to make our wits more keen.
' Nor gives it satisfaction to our blood.
That we must curb it upon others' proof;
To be forbod the sweets that seem so good, 164
For fear of harms that preach in our behoof.
O appetite, from judgement stand aloof!
The one a palate hath that needs will taste.
Though Reason weep, and cry " It is thy last."
' For further I could say " This man's untrue,"
And knew the patterns of his foul beguiling ; 170
Heard where his plants in others' orchards grew,
Saw how deceits were gilded in his smiling ;
Knew vows were ever brokers to defiling;
Thought characters and words merely but art.
And bastards of his foul adulterate heart. 175
' And long upon these terms I held my city,
Till thus he 'gan besiege me ; " Gentle maid.
Have of my suffering youth some feeling pity,
And be not of my holy vows afraid ;
That's to ye sworn to none was ever said ; 180
For feasts of love I have been call'd unto,
Till now did ne'er invite, nor never woo.
' " All my offences that abroad you see
Are errors of the blood, none of the mind;
Love made them not ; with acture they may be,
Where neither party is nor true nor kind ; 186
They sought their shame that so their shame did
find;
And so much less of shame in me remains
By how much of me their reproach contains.
' "Among the many that mine eyes have seen.
Not one whose flame my heart so much as warmed.
Or my affection put to the smallest teen, 192
Or any of my leisures ever charmed ;
Harm have I done to them, but ne'er was harmed ;
Kept hearts iu liveries, but mine own was free.
And reign'd, commanding iu his monarchy. 195
' " Look here, what tributes wounded fancies seut
me,
Of paled pearls and rubies red as blood ;
Figuring that they their passions likewise lent me
Of grief and blushes, aptly understood 200
In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood ;
Effects of terror and dear modesty,
Eucamp'd in hearts, but fighting outwardly.
' " And, lo, behold these talents of their hair,
With twisted metal amorously impleach'd, 205
I have received from many a several fair.
Their kind acceptance weepingly beseeoh'd,
With the annexions of fair gems enrieh'd,
And deep-brain'd sonnets that did amplify 209
Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality.
' " The diamond, why, 'twas beautiful and hard,
Whereto his invised properties did tend ;
The deep-green emerald, in whose fresh regard
Weak sights their sickly radiance do amend;
The heaven-hued sapphire and the opal blend
With objects manifold ; each several stone, 216
With wit well blazon 'd, smiled or made some moan.

A LOVER'S COMPLAINT
417
'"Lo, all these trophies of affections hot,
Of pensivecl and subdued desires the tender,
Nature hath charged me that I hoard them not.
But yield them up where I myself must render.
That is, to you, my origin and ender ; 222
For these, of force, must your oblations be,
Since I their altar, you enpatron me.
' " 0, then, advance of yours that phraseless hand.
Whose white weighs down the airy scale of praise ;
Take all these similes to your own command, 227
Hallow'd with sighs that burning lungs did raise ;
What me your minister, for you obeys,
Works under you ; aud to your audit comes
Their distract parcels in combined sums. 231
' " Lo, this device was sent me from a nun,
Or sister sanctified, of holiest note;
Which late her noble suit in court did shun.
Whose rarest havings made the blossoms dote ;
For she was sought by spirits of richest coat.
But kept cold distance, and did thence remove.
To spend her living in eternal love. 238
' " But, O my sweet, what labour is 't to leave
The thing we have not, mastering what not strives.
Playing the place which did no form receive, 241
Playing patient sports in unconstrained gyves?
She that her fame so to herself contrives.
The scars of battle 'scapeth by the flight, 244
And makes her absence valiant, not her might.
' " 0, pardon me, in that my boast is true ;
The accident which brought me to her eye
Upon the moment did her force subdue.
And now she would the caged cloister fly ;
Religious love put out Religion's eye; 250
Not to be tempted, would she be immured.
And now, to tempt all, liberty procured.
' " How mighty then you are, O, hear me tell !
The broken bosoms that to me belong
Have emptied all their fountains in my well.
And mine I pour your ocean all among; 25R
I strong o'er them, and you o'er me being strong.
Must for your victory us all congest.
As compound love to physic your cold breast.
' " My parts had power to charm a sacred nun,
Who disciplined, ay, dieted in grace, 261
Believed her eyes when they to assail begun,
All vows and consecrations giving place ;
O most potential love ! vow, bond, nor space.
In thee hath neither sting, knot, nor confine, 265
For thou art all, and all things else are thine.
' " When thou impressest, what are precepts worth
Of stale example? When thou wilt inflame,
How coldly those impediments stand forth
Of wealth, of filial fear, law, kindred, fame !
Love's arms are peace, 'gainst rule, 'gainst sense,
'gainst shame ; 271
And sweetens, in the suffering pangs it bears.
The aloes of all forces, shocks and fears.
27
' " Now all these hearts that do on mine depend.
Feeling it break, with leading groans they pine;

To leave the battery that you make 'gainst mine,
Lending soft audience to my sweet design.

That shall prefer and undertake my troth." 280

Whose sights till then were levell'd on my face ;
Each cheek a river running from a fount 283
With brinish current downward flow'd apace ;

' O father, what a hell of witchcraft lies
In the small orb of one particular tear !

Shook oif my sober guards and civil fears ;

All melting ; though our drops this difference bore,
His poison'd me, and mine did him restore.
' In him a plenitude of subtle matter,
Applied to cautels, all strange forms receives.
Of burning blushes, or of weeping water, 304
Or swounding paleness ; and he takes aud leaves,
In cither's aptness, as it best deceives.
To blush at speeches rank, to weep at woes.
Or to turn white and swound at tragic shows ;
' That not a heart which in his level came
Could 'scape the hail of his all-hurting aim, 310
Showing fair nature is both kind and tame;
And, veil'd in them, did win whom he would maim ;
Against the thing he sought he wcAald exclaim ;
When he most burn'd in heart-wish'd luxury,
He preach'd pure maid and praised cold chastity.
'Thus merely with the garment of a Grace 316
The naked and concealed fiend he cover'd ;
That the unexperient gave the tempter place.
Which, like a cherubin, above them hover'd.
Who, young and simple, would not be so lover'd?
Ay me! I fell, and yet do question make 321
What I should do again for such a sake.
' O, that infected moisture of his eye,
O, that false fire which in his cheek so glow'd,
O, that forced thunder from his heart did fly, 325
O, that sad breath his spongy lungs bestow'd,
0, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed.
Would yet again betray the fore-betray'd,
And new pervert a reconciled maid !'
THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her, though I know she lies.
That she might think me some untutor'd youth.
Unskilful in the world's false forgeries, 4
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young.
Although I know my years be past the best,
I smiling credit her false-speaking tongue,
Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest.
But wherefore says my love that she is young?
And wherefore say not I that I am old ? 10
O, love's best habit is a soothing tongue.
And age, in love, loves not to have years told.
Therefore I'll lie with love, and love with me,
Since that our faults in love thus smother'd be.
Two loves I have, of comfort and despair,
That like two spirits do suggest me still ;
My better angel is a man right fair,
My worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.
To win me soon to hell, my female evil 5
Tempteth my better angel from my side.
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil.
Wooing his purity with her fair pride.
And whether that my angel be turn'd fiend,
Suspect I may, yet not directly tell ; 10
For being both to me, both to each friend,
I guess one angel in another's hell ;
The truth I shall not know, but live in doubt.
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
Did not the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye,
'Gainst whom the world could not hold argument.
Persuade my heart to this false perjury?
Vows for thee broke deserve not punishment.
A woman I forswore ; but I will prove, 5
Thou being a goddess, I forswore not thee ;
My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love ;
Thy grace being gain'd cures all disgrace in me.
My vow was breath, and breath a vapour is ;
Then, thou fair sun, that on this earth doth shine.
Exhale this vapour vow ; in thee it is ; 11
If broken, then it is no fault of mine.
If by me broke, what fool is not so wise
To break an oath, to win a paradise ?
Sweet Cytherea, sitting by a brook
With young Adonis, lovely, fresh, and green.
Did court the lad with many a lovely look.
Such looks as none could look but beauty's queen.
418
She told him stories to delight his ear, 5
She show'd him favours to allure his eye ;
To win his heart, she touch'd him here and there;
Touches so soft still conquer chastity.
But whether unripe years did want conceit,
Or he refused to take her figured proffer, 10
The tender nibbler would not touch the bait.
But smile and jest at every gentle offer;
Then fell she on her back, fair queen, and
toward ;
He rose and ran away ; ah, fool too froward.
If love make me forsworn, how shall I swear to
love?
never faith could hold, if not to beauty vowed ;
Though to myself forsworn, to thee I'll constant
prove ;
Those thoughts, to me like oaks, to thee like osiers
bowed.
Study his bias leaves, and makes his book thine
eyes, 5
Where all those pleasures live that art can com-
prehend.
If knowledge be the mark, to know thee shall
suffice;
Well learned is that tongue that well can thee
commend ;
All ignorant that soul that sees thee without
wonder ;
Which is to me some praise, that I thy parts ad-
mire ; 10
Thine eye Jove's lightning seems, thy voice his
dreadful thunder.
Which, not to anger bent, is music and sweet fire.
Celestial as thou art, O do not love that wrong,
To sing heaven's praise with such an earthly
tongue.
6
Scarce had the sun dried up the dewy morn.
And scarce the herd gone to the hedge for shade,
When Cytherea, all in love forlorn,
A longing tarriance for Adonis made
Under an osier growing by a brook, 5
A brook where Adon used to cool his spleen ;
Hot was the day ; she hotter that did look
For his approach, that often there had been.
Anon he comes, and throws his mantle b)', 9
And stood stark naked on the brook's green brim ;
The sun look'd on the world with glorious eye.
Yet not so wistly as this queen on him.
He, spying her, bounced in, whereas he stood ;
' O Jove,' quoth she, ' why was not I a flood !'
THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
419
Fair is my love, but not so fair as fickle,
Mild as a dove, but neither true nor trusty.
Brighter than glass and yet, as glass is, brittle,
Softer than wax and yet as iron rusty ;
A lily pale, with damask dye to grace her, 5
None fairer, nor none falser to deface her.
Her lips to mine how often hath she joined,
(Between each kiss her oaths of true love swearing !
How many tales to please me hath she coined.
Dreading my love, the loss thereof still fearing!
Yet in the midst of all her pure pretestings.
Her faith, her oaths, her tears, and all were
jestings. 12
She burn'd with love, as straw with fire flameth ;
She burn'd out love, as soon as straw out-burneth ;
She framed the love, and yet she foil'd the framing ;
She bade love last, and yet she fell a-turning. 16
Was this a lover, or a lecher whether ?
Bad in the best, though excellent in neither.
If music and sweet poetry agree,
As they must needs, the sister and the brother.
Then must the love be great 'twixt thee and me.
Because thou lovest the one and I the other.
Dowland to thee is dear, whose heavenly touch
Upon the lute doth ravish human sense ; 6
Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such
As passing all conceit needs no defence.
Thou lovest to hear the sweet melodious sound
That Phoebus' lute, the queen of music, makes;
And I in deep delight am chiefly drown'd 11
When as himself to singing he betakes.
One god is god of botli, as poets feign ;
One knight loves both, and both in thee remain.
Fair was the morn when the fair queen of love,
* * * * «
Paler for sorrow than her milk-white dove.
For Adon's sake, a youngster proud and wild ;
Her stand she takes upon a steep up-hill ; 5
Anon Adonis comes with horn and hounds ;
She, silly queen, with more than love's good will.
Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds ;
'Once,' quoth she, 'did I see a fair sweet youth
Here in these brakes deep-wounded with a boar,
Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth ! 11
See, in my thigh,' quoth she, ' here was the sore.'
She showed hers ; he saw more wounds than one,
And blushing fled, and left her all alone.
lO
Sweet rose, fair flower, untimely pluck'd, soon
vaded,
Pluck'd in the btid and vaded in the spring !
Bright orient pearl, alack, too timely shaded!
Fair creature, kill'd too soon by death's sharp
sting !
Like a green plum that hangs upon a tree, 5
And falls through wind before the fall should be.
I weep for thee and yet no cause I have ;
For why thou left'st me nothing in thy will ;
And yet thou left'st me more than I did crave ;
For why I craved nothing of thee still ; 10
yes, dear friend, I pardon crave of thee.
Thy discontent thou didst bequeath to me.
11
Venus, with young Adonis sitting by her
Under a myrtle shade, began to woo him ;
She told the youngling how god Mars did try her.
And as he fell to her, so fell she to him.
'Even thus,' quoth she, 'the warlike god em-
braced me,' 5
And then she clipp'd Adonis in her arms ;
'Even thus,' quoth she, 'the warlike god unlacod
me,'
As if the boy should use like loving charms ;
'Even thus,' quoth she, ' he seized on my lips,'
And with her lips on his did act the seizure ; 10
And as she fetched breath, away he skips.
And would not take her meaning nor her pleasure.
Ah, that I had my lady at this bay.
To kiss and clip me till I run away!
IS
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together;
Youth is full of pleasance, age is full of care ;
Youth like summer morn, age like winter wea-
ther;
Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare.
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short ; 6
Youth is nimble, age is lame ;
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold ;
Youth is wild, and age is tame.
Age, I do abhor thee ; youth, I do adore thee ;
O, my love, my love is young ! 10
Age, I do defy thee ; O, sweet shepherd, hie thee,
For methinks thou stay'st too long.
13
Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good ;
A shining gloss that vadeth suddenly ;
A flower that dies when first it 'gins to bud ;
A brittle glass that's broken presently ;
A doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower, 5
Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an hour.
And as goods lost are seld or never found,
As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh.
As flowers dead lie wither'd on the ground.
As broken glass no cement can redress, 10
So beauty blemish'd once's for ever lost.
In spite of physic, painting, pain, and cost.
14
Good-night, good rest. Ah, neither be my share ;
She bade good night that kept ray rest away;
And daff' d me to a cabin hang'd with care.
To descant on the doubts of my decay.
'Farewell,' quoth she, 'and come again to-mor-
row;'
Fare well I could not, for I supp'd with sorrow.
Yet at my parting sweetly did she smile,
In scorn or friendship, nill I construe whether ;
'T may be, she joy'd to jest at my exile, 9
'T may be, again to make me wander thither;
' Wander,' a word for shadows like myself,
As take the pain, but cannot pluck the pelf.

THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
15
Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east !
My heart doth charge the watch; the morning
rise
Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest.
Not daring trust the office of mine eyes, 4
"While Philomela sits and sings, I sit and mark.
And wish her lays were tuned like the lark ;
For she doth welcome daylight with her ditty,
And drives away dark dreaming night ;
The night so pack'd, I post unto my pretty ; 9
Heart hath his hope and eyes their wished sight;
Sorrow changed to solace, and solace mix'd
with sorrow ;
For why, she sigh'd, and bade me come to-
morrow.
Were I with her, the night would post too soon ;
But now are minutes added to the hours ; 14
To spite me now, each minute seems a moon ;
Yet not for me, shine sun to succour flowers !
Pack night, peep day ; good day, of night now
borrow ;
Short, night, to-night, and length thyself to-
morrow.
16
It was a lording's daughter, the fairest one of
three.
That liked of her master as well as well might be,
Till looking on an Englishman, the fair'st that
eye could see.
Her fancy fell a-turning.
Long was the combat doubtful that love with love
did fight ; 5
To leave the master loveless, or kUl the gallant
knight ;
To put in practice either, alas, it was a spite
Unto the silly damsel !
But one must be refused; more mickle was the
pain
That nothing could be used to turn them both to
gain, 10
For of the two the trusty knight was wounded
with disdain ;
Alas, she could not help it I
Thus art with arms contending was victor of the
day.
Which by a gift of learning did bear the maid
away;
Then, lullaby, the learned man hath got the lady
gay; 15
For now my song is ended.
ir
On a day, alack the day !
Love, whose month was ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair.
Playing in the wanton air ;
Through the velvet leaves the wind 5
All unseen 'gan passage find;
That the lover, sick to death,
Wish'd himself the heaven's breath.
'Air,' quoth he, 'thy cheeks may blow;
Air, would I might triumph so ! 10
But, alas ! my hand hath sworn
Ne'er to pluck thee from thy thorn ;
Vow, alack ! for youth unmeet ;
Youth, so apt to pluck a sweet.
Thou for whom Jove would swear
Juno but an Ethiope were ;
And deny himself for Jove,
Turning mortal for thy love.'
18
My flocks feed not,
My ewes breed not.
My rams speed not ;
All is amiss ;
Love's denying.
Faith's defying,
Heart's renying
Causer of this.
All my merry jigs are quite forgot.
All my lady's love is lost, God wot ;
Where her faith was firmly flx'd in love.
There a nay is placed without remove.
One silly cross
Wrought all my loss ;
frowning Fortune, cursed, fickle dame !
For now I see
Inconstancy
More in women than in men remain.
In black mourn I,
All fears scorn I,
Love hath forlorn me,
Living in thrall ;
Heart is bleeding.
All help needing,
O cruel speeding,
Fraughted with gall.
I\Iy shepherd's pipe can soiind no deal ;
My wether's bell rings doleful knell;
My curtal dog, that wont to have play'd.
Plays not at all, but seems afraid ;
My sighs so deep
Procure to weep,
In howling wise, to see my doleful plight.
How sighs resound
Through heartless ground, 35
Like a thousand vanquish'd men in bloody fight !
Clear wells spring not,
Sweet birds sing not.
Green plants bring not
Forth their dye ; 40
Herds stand weeping.
Flocks all sleeping.
Nymphs back peeping
Fearfully ;
All our pleasure known to us poor swains, 45
All our merry meetings on the plains.
All our evening sport from us is fled,
All our love is lost, for Love is dead.
Farewell, sweet lass.
Thy like ne'er was 50
For a sweet content, the cause of all my moan ;
Poor Corydon
Must live alone ;
Other help for him I see that there is none.
19
When as thine eye hath chose the dame.
And stall'd the deer that thou shouldst strike,
Let reason rule things worthy blame,
As well as fancy, partial wight ;
Take counsel of some wiser head, 6
Neither too young nor yet unwed.

THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
421
And when thou comest thy tale to tell,
Smooth not thy tongue with filed talk,
Lest she some subtle practice smell, —
A cripple soon can find a halt ; —
But plainly say thou lovest her well.
And set thy person forth to sell.
What though her frowning brows be bent.
Her cloudy looks will calm ere night ;
And then too late she will repent
That thus dissembled her deliglit ;
And twice desire, ere it be day,
That which with scorn she put away.
What though she strive to try her strength.
And ban and brawl and say thee nay.
Her feeble force will yield at length,
When craft hath taught her thus to say :
' Had women been so strong as men.
In faith, you had not had it then.'
And to her will frame all thy ways ;
Spare not to spend, and chiefly there
Where thy desert may merit praise.
By ringing in thy lady's ear ;
The strongest castle, tower and town,
The golden bullet beats it down.
Serve always with assured trust,
And in thy suit be humble true ;
Unless thy lady prove unjust,
Press never thou to choose anew ;
When time shall serve, be thou not slack
To proffer, though she put thee back.
The wiles and guiles that women work,
Dissembled with an outward show.
The tricks and toys that in them lurk,
The cock that treads them shall not know.
Have you not heard it said full oft,
A woman's nay doth stand for nought 7
Think women still to strive with men,
To sin and never for to saint ;
There is no heaven, by holy then.
When time with age shall them attaint.
Were kisses all the joys in bed.
One woman would another wed.
But, soft ! enough, — too much, I fear, —
Lest that my mistress hear my song ;
She will not stick to round me on th' ear,
To teach my tongue to be so long ;
Yet will she blush, here be it said,
To hear her secrets so bewray'd.
SO
Live with me, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields.
And all the craggy mountains yields.
There will we sit upon the rocks.
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, by whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
20
There will I make thee a bed of roses,
With a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers and a kirtle
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.
A belt of straw and ivy buds.
With coral clasps and amber studs ;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Then live with me and be my love.
Love's Answkr.
If that the world and love were young.
And truth in every shepherd's tongue.
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy love.
20
SI
As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap and birds did sing, 5
Trees did grow and plants did spring;
Every thing did banish moan,
Save the nightingale alone;
She, poor bird, as all forlorn,
Lean'd her breast up-till a thorn, 10
And there sung the dolefull'st ditty,
That to hear it was great pity ;
'Fie, fie, fie,' now would she cry;
' Tereu, tereu !' by and by ;
That to hear her so complain, 15
Scarce I could from tears refrain ;
For her griefs so lively shown
Made me think upon mine own.
Ah, thought I, thou mourn'st in vain !
None takes pity on thy pain ; 20
Senseless trees they cannot hear thee ;
Ruthless beasts they will not cheer thee ;
King Pandion he is dead ;
All thy friends are lapp'd in lead ;
All thy fellow birds do sing, 25
Careless of thy sorrowing.
Even so, poor bird, like thee,
None alive will pity me.
Whilst as fickle Fortune smiled,
Thou and I were both beguiled. 30
Every one that flatters thee
Is no friend in naisery.
Words are easy, like the wind ;
Faithful friends are hard to find ;
Every man will be thy friend 35
Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend;
But if store of crowns be scant.
No man will supply thy want.
If that one be prodigal.
Bountiful they will him call, 40
And with such-like flattering,
' Pity but he were a king;'
If he be addict to vice.
Quickly him they will entice;
If to women he be bent, 45
They have at commandment;
But if Fortune once do frown.
Then farewell his great renown ;
They that fawn'd on him before
Use his company no more. 50
422
THE PHCENIX AND TURTLE
He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need ;
If thou sorrow, he will weep ;
If thou wake, he cannot sleep ;
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.
THE PHCENIX AND TURTLE
Let the bird of loudest lay,
On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be.
To whose sound chaste wings obey.
But thou shrieking harbinger, 5
Fonl precurrer of the fiend.
Augur of the fever's end.
To this troop come thou not near !
From this session interdict
Every fowl of tyrant wing, 10
Save the eagle, feather'd king ;
Keep the obsequy so strict.
Let the priest in surplice white.
That defunctive music can.
Be the death-divining swan, 15
Lest the requiem lack his right.
And thou treble-dated crow.
That thy sable gender makest
With the breath thou givest and takest,
'Mougst our mourners shall thou go. 20
Here the anthem doth commence :
Love and constancy is dead ;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.
So they loved, as love in twain 25
Had the essence but in one ;
Two distlncts, division none ;
Number there in love was slain.
Hearts remote, yet not asunder ;
Distance, and no space was seen 30
'Twixt the turtle and his queen ;
But in them it were a wonder.
So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight ; 85
Either was the other's mine.
Property was thus appalled,
That the self was not the same ;
Single nature's double name
Neither two nor one was called. 40
Reason, in itself confounded,
Saw division grow together.
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded ;
That it cried, How true a twain 45
Seemeth this concordant one !
Love hath reason, reason none.
If what parts can so remain.
Whereupon it made this threne
To the phoenix and the dove, 50
Co-supremes and stars of love.
As chorus to their tragic scene.
THRENOS.
Beauty, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclosed in cinders lie. 55
Death is now the phoenix' nest ;
And the turtle's loyal breast
To eternity doth rest,
Leaving no posterity ;
'Twas not their infirmity, 60
It was married chastity.
Truth may seem, but cannot be
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she ;
Truth and beauty buried be.
To this urn let those repair 65
That are either true or fair ;
For these dead birds sigh a prayer.
