Can you destroy this land , which generated and feeded you? Hasn t Anger dropped on you the in coming end,altough you reached (the end) with an evil and ill soul? It doesn t help, that Rome was in front of us, that into those walls there are my house and my penates,my mother,my husband and my sons?So, if i wouldn t have given birth (to you),(now) Rome would not be attacked! If i wouldn t have a son,i would be free and dead in (my) homeland.
