Shakespeare only describes the characters in his plays through the mouths of other characters, so it is never Shakespeare speaking. Lavinia describes her as "barbarous Tamora", and Tamora claims she and Bassanius called her "foul adultress, lascivious Goth". Saturninus calls her "Lovely Tamora, Queen of the Goths, that like the stately Phebe 'mongst her nymphs dost overshine the gallan'st dames of Rome". Obviously neither of these is Shakespeare speaking.
