Shaked and speared

'What win I, if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy-
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?
Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown,
Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down'

I just loved these lines the most from 'The Rape of Lucrece'

P.S. Of course, I haven't read the whole poem!! yet
