Carthage

________________________________________________
Title:     Carthage
Author: Frederich Schiller [More Titles by Schiller]

Oh thou degenerate child of the great and glorious mother,
Who with the Romans' strong might couplest the Tyrians' deceit!
But those ever governed with vigor the earth they had conquered,--
These instructed the world that they with cunning had won.
Say! what renown does history grant thee? Thou, Roman-like, gained'st
That with the steel, which with gold, Tyrian-like, then thou didst rule!

[The end]
Frederich Schiller's poem: Carthage
