11FROM the besieged Ardea all in post,

2Borne by the trustlesse wings of false desire,

3Lust-breathed TARQVIN, leaues the Roman host,

4And to Colatium beares the lightlesse fire,

5Which in pale embers hid, lurkes to aspire,

6 And girdle with embracing flames, the wast

7 Of COLATINES fair loue, LVCRECE the chast.

28Hap'ly that name of chast, vnhap'ly set

9This batelesse edge on his keene appetite:

10When COLATINE vnwisely did not let,

11To praise the cleare vnmatched red and white,

12Which triumpht in that skie of his delight:

13 Where mortal stars as bright as heauēs Beauties,

14 With pure aspects did him peculiar dueties.
