Which seems to weep upon the tainted place: Corrupted blood some watery token shows; Blushing at that which is so putrified. 'Daughter, dear daughter,' old Lucretius cries, If in the child the father's image lies, Thou wast not to this end from me deriv'd We are their offspring, and they none of ours. 'Poor broken glass, I often did behold But now that fair fresh mirror, dim and old, O, from thy cheeks my image thou hast torn! That I no more can see what once I was! 'O time, cease thou thy course and last no longer, Shall rotten death make conquest of the stronger, The old bees die, the young possess their hive: Thy father die, and not thy father thee!' By this starts Collatine as from a dream, And then in key-cold Lucrece' bleeding stream And counterfeits to die with her a space; And live, to be revenged on her death. The deep vexation of his inward soul Who, mad that sorrow should his use control, Begins to talk; but through his lips do throng That no man could distinguish what he said. Yet sometime 'Tarquin' was pronounced plain, This windy tempest, till it blow up rain, At last it rains, and busy winds give o'er: Who should weep most, for daughter or for wife. .
