Of Lucrece.

3. Si fuit ille tibi Lucretia, gratus adulter,
Immerito merita præmia morte petis, &c.

If to thy bed the adulterer welcome came,
O Lucrece, then thy death deserves no fame.
If force were offred, give true reason why,
Being cleare thy selfe thou for his fault wouldst dye?
Therefore in vaine thou seekst thy fame to cherish,
Since mad thou fal'st, or for thy sinne dost perish.
