Now climbeth Tamora Olympus\u2019 top,
\nSafe out of fortune\u2019s shot, and sits aloft,
\nSecure of thunder\u2019s crack or lightning flash,
\nAdvanc\u2019d above pale envy\u2019s threat\u2019ning reach.
\nAs when the golden sun salutes the morn,
\nAnd, having gilt the ocean with his beams,
\nGallops the zodiac in his glistering coach,
\nAnd overlooks the highest-peering hills:
\nSo Tamora.
\nUpon her wit doth earthly honor wait,
\nAnd virtue stoops and trembles at her frown;
\nThen, Aaron, arm thy heart, and fit thy thoughts,
\nTo mount aloft with thy imperial mistress,
\nAnd mount her pitch, whom thou in triumph long
\nHast prisoner held, fett\u2019red in amorous chains,
\nAnd faster bound to Aaron\u2019s charming eyes
\nThan is Prometheus tied to Caucasus.
\nAway with slavish weeds and servile thoughts!
\nI will be bright, and shine in pearl and gold,
\nTo wait upon this new-made emperess.
\nTo wait, said I? To wanton with this queen,
\nThis goddess, this Semiramis, this nymph,
\nThis siren that will charm Rome\u2019s Saturnine,
\nAnd see his shipwrack and his commonweal\u2019s.
\nHollo, what storm is this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
