"is it not better to be poor and free than to have great wealth and be slaves? " she asked. "and the romans take not only our freedom but our wealth. they want to make us both slaves and beggars. let us rise. o brothers and sisters, let us rise, and drive these robbers out of our land! let us kill them every one! let us teach them that they are no better than hares and foxes, and no match for greyhounds! we will fight, and if we cannot conquer, then let us die—yes, every one of us—die rather than submit."
