In Daniel’s poem the ghost of Rosamond, the mistress of Henry II, gives sorrowful voice to her remorse at having submitted to the adulterous embraces of the king, and finally relates her murder by Queen Eleanor. The whole poem is in the *oratio recta* of the heroine, and the key is that of Lucrece’s moaning. Shakespeare adopted in *Lucrece* the seven-line stanza of *The Complaint of Rosamond*, and handled it very similarly.\n\nAt one important point Shakespeare seems to have borrowed Daniel’s machinery. Both heroines seek consolation from a work of art. Shakespeare’s Lucrece closely scans a picture of the siege of Troy, the details of which she applies to her own sad circumstance. Daniel’s Rosamond examines a casket finely engraved with ornament suggesting her own sufferings; on the lid is portrayed Amymone’s strife with Neptune, while ‘figured within the other squares’ is the tale of Jove’s pursuit of the love of Io. Rosamond’s casket was wrought\n\nSo rare that art did seem to strive with nature\nTo express the cunning workman’s curious thought.\n\n(ll. 374–5.)\n\nTo Shakespeare’s piece of skilful painting\n\nIn scorn of nature, art gave lifeless life. (l. 1374.)\n\nDaniel’s phraseology seems to be echoed in single lines such as these:—\n\nAn *expir’d date cancell’d* ere well begun. (*Lucrece*, 26.)\n\n*Cancell’d* with Time, will have their *date expir’d*. (*Rosamond*, 242.)\n\n*Sable night, mother of dread and fear*. (*Lucrece*, 117.)","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-30T06:13:56.754Z","text_extracted_by":"ocr-service","text_has_content":true,"text_images_count":0,"text_source":"ocr","uploaded":true,"width":1750},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG6Q7Q25RHMFT3SJXPV18VFF","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6QCD0656RQE8487JG8ZQMH","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6QCD0X74Q8HS6Y5PQ1EWD2","predicate":"next"},{"peer":"01KG6QYGPTZJXCD54RCG1D36MA","peer_label":"06_poems_pericles_facsimiles_1905_oxford_page_0158_medium.jpg","peer_type":"file","predicate":"has_derivative"},{"peer":"01KG6QYK93PN777MDQ06FQFTZD","peer_label":"06_poems_pericles_facsimiles_1905_oxford_page_0158_thumb.jpg","peer_type":"file","predicate":"has_derivative"},{"peer":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","predicate":"has_assembly"}],"ver":7,"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:52:56.435Z","ts":"2026-01-30T06:22:45.854Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFFC4A8W8939TXGEXCK439ZK"}}
