Carthage
By Friedrich von Schiller (1759–1805)Translated by J. H. Merivale
O
That to the might of Rome addest the cunning of Tyre!
But this ruled by her power the earth which her valor had conquered—
That instructed the world which by her prudence she won.
Say, what doth history tell of thee? She tells, thou didst ever
Win like the Roman by steel, rule like the Tyrian by gold.
