To whomever is removing the information about the song "Lucretia": I'd appreciate you leaving the information here, or at least giving some kind of justification as to the removal. Willbyr 18:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
To whomever thinks it belongs here: I did not remove it the first time(s), but I did remove it. I did not know it had been removed previously. I took it out because apparently it has nothing to do with the historical Lucretia. It's just an obscure popular song -- hardly appropriate subject matter for an encyclopedia article on a famous suicide that lead to a reformation of Western culture. Jive Dadson
- Now see, that's a well-written justification. So noted. Willbyr 20:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
YEP I completely agree, the song has no relevance to the rape of Lucretia which led to the foundation of the Roman Republic.
The lines quoted under "In the Arts" don't come from "Titus Andronicus". The article on Virginia claims they come from "Appius and Virginia" by Heywood and Webster, but I don't have a copy of that to check.
