Timely Scroll

Vespia, my dearest sister-in-law I write to reveal my emotions raw Victulus has asked me to wait for him He is travelling to Herculaneum How I do wish he could have taken me Not as a maid but as his wife to be. Now jealous thoughts are rising in my breast They shall torment me in my night time rest Cruxilas and his daughter Delphinian Also travelling in my love's caravan She tried to seduce him in wanton ways Her eyes, her dress and with her hair she plays His love reassurance in days gone past Has long faded now as the die's been cast I have not told him of my pregnant state Hope nothing shall happen to make him late Remember this year AD79 When, at last, dear Victulus shall be mine. May the Gods favour us both, Flavia xx
