Susanna faire, sometime assaulted was,
by two old men desiring their delight:
whose false entent, they thought to bring to passe,
If not by tender love, by force & might:
to whom she said, if I your sute denye,
you will mee falsely accuse, and make mee die.
And if I graunt to that which you request,
my chastitie shall then defloured bee,
which is so deere to mee that I detest
my lyfe, if it beerefted bee from mee:
And rather would I dye of mine accord,
ten thousand times, then once offend the Lord.
