Lucrece (Quarto, 1594)
THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
793To crosse their armes & hang their heads with mine,
794To maske their browes and hide their infamie,
797 Mingling my talk with tears, my greef with grones,
800Let not the iealous daie behold that face,
801Which vnderneath thy blacke all-hiding cloke
804 That all the faults which in thy raigne are made,
809The impious breach of holy wedlocke vowe.
810Yea the illiterate that know not how
811 To cipher what is writ in learned bookes,
