1921338The homelie villaine cursies to her low,

1339And blushing on her with a stedfast eye,

1340Receaues the scroll without or yea or no,

1341And forth with bashfull innocence doth hie.

1342But they whose guilt within their bosomes lie,

1343 Imagine euerie eye beholds their blame,

1344 For LVCRECE thought, he blusht to see her shame.

1931345When seelie Groome (God wot) it was defect

1346Of spirite, life, and bold audacitie,

1347Such harmlesse creatures haue a true respect

1348To talke in deeds, while others saucilie

1349Promise more speed, but do it leysurelie.

1350 Euen so this patterne of the worne-out age,

1351 Pawn'd honest looks, but laid no words to gage.

1941352His kindled duetie kindled her mistrust,

1353That two red fires in both their faces blazed,

1354Shee thought he blusht, as knowing TARQVINS lust,

1355And blushing with him, wistlie on him gazed,

1356Her earnest eye did make him more amazed.

1357 The more shee saw the bloud his cheeks replenish,

1358 The more she thought he spied in her som blemish.
