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, gainedst
That with the steel, which with gold, Tyrian-like,
then thou didst rule!
