ThisThe Story of Virginia. was followed by a second atrocity, the result of brutal lust, which occurred in the City and led to consequences no less tragic than the outrage and death of Lucretia, which had brought about the expulsion of the royal family. Not only was the end of the decemvirs the same as that of the kings, but the cause of their losing their power was the same in each case.
Ap. Claudius had conceived a guilty passion for a girl of plebeian birth. The girl's father, L. Verginius, held a high rank in the army on Algidus; he was a man of exemplary character both at home and in the field.
His wife had been brought up on equally high principles, and their children were being brought up in the same way. He had betrothed his daughter to L. Icilius, who had been tribune, an active and energetic man whose courage had been proved in his battles for the plebs.
This girl, now in the bloom of her youth and beauty, excited Appius' passions, and he tried to preva

well furnished with men and victuals, having received our
last and perfect directions by your letters, confirming the
former instructions, and commandements delivered by

An extract of Master Ralph Lanes letter to M. Richard
Hakluyt Esquire, and another Gentleman of the middle
Temple, from Virginia
.
IN the meane while you shall understand, that since Sir
Richard Greenvils departure from us, as also before, we
have discovered the maine to be the goodliest oyle under
the cope of heaven, so abounding nesse, and very well peopled
and towned, though savagely, and the climate so wholsome, that wee had not one sicke since we touched the
land here. To conclude, if Virginia
had but horses and
kine in some reasonable proportion, I dare assure my
selfe being inhabited with English, no realme in Christendome were comparable to it. For all, so it be made red.
Thus good M. Hakluyt and M. H. I have joyned you
both in one letter of remembrance, as two that I love
dearely well, and commending me most heartily to you
both, I commit you to the tuition of the Almightie. From
the new Fort in Virginia
, this third of September, 1585.Your most assured friend RALPH LANE.

sent and directed to Sir Walter Ralegh.THAT I may proceede with order in this discourse, I
thinke it requisite to divide in into two parts. The first
shall declare the particularities of such parts of the
Countrey within the maine, as our weake number, and
supply of things necessarie did inable us to enter into
the discovery of.
The second part shall set downe the reasons generally
moving us to resolve on our departure at the instant
with the Generall Sir Francis Drake, and our common
request for passage with him, when the barkes, pinnesses,
and boates with the Masters and Mariners meant by him
to bee left in the Countrey, for the supply of such, as
for a further time meant to have stayed there, were caryed

to the reliefe of the Colony planted in Virginia
, at the
sole charges of Sir Walter Ralegh.IN the yeere of our Lord 1586 Sir Walter Ralegh at
his owne charge prepared a ship of an hundred tunne,
fraighted with all maner of things in most plentifull
maner, for the supply and reliefe of his Colony then
remaining in Virginia
: but before they set saile from
England
it was after Easter, so that our Colony halfe
despaired of the comming of any supply: wherefore every
man prepared for himselfe, determining resolutely to
spend the residue of their life time in that countrey.
And for the better performance of e from the sacking of Sant
Domingo, Cartagena
, and Saint Augustine, determined
in his way homeward to visit his countreymen the English
Colony then remaining in Virginia
. So passing along
the coasts of Florida
, he fell with the parts where our
English Colony inhabited: and having espied some of
that company, there he ankered and
