Again and again the romans were defeated, till it almost seemed as if the britons really would succeed in driving them out of the country. boadicea herself led the soldiers, encouraging them with her brave words. "it is better to die with honor than to live in slavery," she said. "i am a woman, but i would rather die than yield. will you follow me, men? " and of course the men followed her gladly.
at last the roman leader was so downcast with his many defeats that he went himself to the british camp, bearing in his hand a green branch as a sign of peace. when boadicea was told that an ambassador from the romans wished to speak to her, she replied proudly, "my sword alone shall speak to the romans." and when the roman leader asked for peace, she answered, "you shall have peace, peace, but no submission. a british heart will choose death rather than lose liberty. there can be peace only if you promise to leave the country.”
