LUCRETIA
LUCRETIA
Beschreibung
This group of poems (C. 36 to 42) deals with the same theme. For the historical background on the forgery scandal involving Domenico and for the identity of Lucretia, see the introduction to C. 36.
The text, considerably corrupt and thus hard to understand, deals with Lucretia's praise of poverty, opposed to the exasperated craving for wealth. According to Lucretia's words, developing a quite common literary and poetic topic, wealth is often illusory and deceiving.

the poem probably alludes to the greed of Lucretia's corrupt husband, which brought him to ruin, cfr. the author's biography.
