Nor, et non illaudatum, lacking praise,

Sed polluentem parricidio,

Imbrue his hands with butchery, filiæ,

Of chaste Virginia, to avoid a rape,

Ne raperetur ad stupra; so to heart,

Tanti illi cordi fuit, did he take,

Suspicio, the mere fancy men might have,

Honoris amittendi, of fame's loss,

Ut potius voluerit filia

Orbari, he preferred to lose his child,
