The Rape of Lucrece (1594) is a narrative poem by William Shakespeare about the legendary Lucretia. In his prior narrative poem, Venus and Adonis (1593), Shakespeare had included a dedicatory letter to his patron, the Earl of Southampton, in which he promised to write a "graver work". Accordingly, The Rape of Lucrece lacks the humorous tone of the earlier poem.
