THE RAPE OF LVCRECE.
2221548Looke looke how li
stning
PRIAM wets his eyes,
1549To
see tho
se borrowed teares that
SINON sheeds,
1550PRIAM why art thou old, and yet not wi
se?
1551For euerie teare he fals a Troian bleeds:
1552His eye drops
fire, no water thence proceeds,
1553 Tho
se roūd clear pearls of his that moue thy pitty,
1554 Are bals of quenchle
sse
fire to burne thy Citty.
2231555Such Deuils
steale e
ffe
cts from lightle
sse Hell,
1556For
SINON in his
fire doth quake with cold,
1557And in that cold hot burning
fire doth dwell,
1558The
se contraries
such vnitie do hold,
1559Only to
flatter fooles, and make them bold,
1560 So
PRIAMS tru
st fal
se
SINONS teares doth
flatter,
1561 That he
finds means to burne his Troy with water.
2241562Here all inrag'd
such pa
ssion her a
ssailes,
1563That patience is quite beaten from her brea
st,
1564Shee tears the
sencele
sse
SINON with her nailes,
1565Comparing him to that vnhappie gue
st,
1566Who
se deede hath made her
selfe, her
selfe dete
st,
1567 At la
st shee
smilingly with this giues ore,
1568 Foole fool, quoth
she, his wounds wil not be
sore.
