THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
2131485Lo here weeps
HECVBA, here
PRIAM dies,
1486Here manly
HECTOR faints, here TROYLVS
sounds;
1487Here friend by friend in bloudie channel lies:
1488And friend to friend giues vnadui
sed wounds,
1489And one mans lu
st the
se manie liues confounds.
1490 Had doting
PRIAM checkt his
sons de
sire,
1491 TROY had bin bright with Fame, & not with
fire.
2141492Here feelingly
she weeps
TROYES painted woes,
1493For
sorrow, like a heauie hanging Bell,
1494Once
set on ringing, with his own waight goes,
1495Then little
strength rings out the dolefull knell,
1496So
LVCRECE set a worke,
sad tales doth tell
1497 To pencel'd pen
siuenes, & colour'd
sorrow,
1498 She lends them words, &
she their looks doth bor
-(row,
2151499Shee throwes her eyes about the painting round,
1500And who
shee
finds forlorne,
shee doth lament:
1501At la
st shee
sees a wretched image bound,
1502That piteous lookes, to Phrygian
sheapheards lent,
1503His face though full of cares, yet
shew'd content,
1504 Onward to
TROY with the blunt
swains he goes,
1505 So mild that patience
seem'd to
scorne his woes.
