Of this fam'd Town, nor Troy, nor Carthage are
To be compar'd with thee in art of War?
For Troy was rais'd, and Carthage burnt. Thy name,
Out-lives the fury of more Stratagem.
'Bove Rome it self thy praises I'le extoll;
The Gaules burnt Rome all but the Capitol.
The Greeks sackt Troy, the Romans Carthage strong,
The Gauls burnt Rome: but thee they could not wrong.
