Who has read this?
Can I get thoughts and ideas on Tarquinius' monologue:

“‘What win I if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.
Who buys a minute’s mirth to wail a week,
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?
Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown,
Would with the sceptre straight be stricken down?”

I'm writing an essay, and I'd appreciate a good discussion. I don't intend on stealing other people's ideas.

The Rape of Lucrece --William Shakespeare*

My mistake, sorry.
