 | | When Spurius daughter went outside the fortifications to fetch water for some religious ceremonies, Titus Tatius, the Sabine king, bribed her to admit his troops into the citadel. |
 | | Lucretia, overwhelmed with grief at such a frightful outrage, sent a messenger to her father at Rome and to her husband at Ardea, asking them to come to her, each accompanied by one faithful friend: it was necessary to act promptly, she told them, as a horrible thing had happened. |
 | | Spurius Lucretius, her father, came from Rome with Publius Valerius, the son of Volesus; Collatinus came from Ardea with Lucius Junius Brutus, with whom he happened to be returning to Rome and he was met on the way by his wifes messenger. |
