45309As each vnwilling portall yeelds him way,

310Through little vents and cranies of the place,

311The wind warres with his torch, to make him staie,

312And blowes the smoake of it into his face,

313Extinguishing his conduct in this case.

314 But his hot heart, which fond desire doth scorch,

315 Puffes forth another wind that fires the torch.

46316And being lighted, by the light he spies

317LVCRECIAS gloue, wherein her needle sticks,

318He takes it from the rushes where it lies,

319And griping it, the needle his finger pricks.

320As who should say, this gloue to wanton trickes

321 Is not inur'd; returne againe in hast,

322 Thou seest our mistresse ornaments are chast.

47323But all these poore forbiddings could not stay him,

324He in the worst sence consters their deniall:

325The dores, the wind, the gloue that did delay him,

326He takes for accidentall things of triall.

327Or as those bars which stop the hourely diall,

328 Who with a lingring staie his course doth let,

329 Till euerie minute payes the howre his debt.
