Letters to Lucretia

See a Problem?

I have just sent for my husband and my father, in desperation, to return from foreign lands to me one last time, in a hopeful effort to avenge this wrong you have committed against me and my family. Your line corrupts Rome with utter disregard for her citizens, perfide ; you ignore the hospitality of my Collatinus by coming into this house and disgracing its name.

Do you find joy in your unmentionable exploits, infide? Was my debasement by your hands pleasing to you? Did I not welcome you into this home with open arms, making sure your every need was cared for?

Was my dear husband not trusting of you, loyal to you, a humble servant of yours? I am not some whore selling herself on the corners of the Appian Way; I am a noblewomen of true blood, daughter of Lucretius! But you did not care about heritage or justice when you heard my Collatinus speaking to his men about my virtus and my pudicitia ; you lusted to tarnish me, just as you lust to tarnish noble Rome herself!

Honorable Brutus will not stand for your treachery, wicked prince.

Your days of life are coming to an end; your lineage of kings will perish by just hands! Was it worth seeing my tear-stained face, malefide? Did your pompous words sound brave to you? I am Sextus Tarquinius.
