Translated by François Guizot
A narrative poem written in the late 16th century. The poem tells the tragic story of Lucretia, a virtuous woman whose life takes a devastating turn due to the lustful desires of Tarquin, a prince of Rome. The narrative explores themes of honor, virtue, and the consequences of violence and shame, positioning Lucretia as a central figure facing the ultimate betrayal and tragic fate. The opening of the poem introduces the background of Lucretia's story, detailing the circumstances leading to the siege of Ardea by Tarquin and his forces. During a night of camaraderie, Tarquin’s desire for Lucretia is ignited when her husband praises her chastity, leading him to resolve to possess her. The poem vividly portrays the psychological turmoil both Lucretia and Tarquin experience, establishing the tension between virtue and vice. As Tarquin ultimately acts on his unlawful desire, Lucretia's world collapses, setting the stage for her tragic choices that follow, emphasizing the themes of power, betrayal, and despair.
