THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
2011401There pleading might you
see graue NESTOR
stand,
1402As'twere incouraging the Greekes to
fight,
1403Making
such
sober a

1404That it beguild attention, charm'd the

1419And in their rage
such
signes of rage they beare,
1420 As but for lo
sse of
NESTORS golden words,
1421 It
seem'd they would debate with angrie
swords.
