It seemes that Tunis is an auncient towne <br />Neere to the ruines of Carthage once so prowde, <br />Whose stately buildings now are cleane pulled downe, <br />And calmde her bruit, that sounded sometime lowde: <br />But roome, that is their auncient far away <br />Doth holde, and shall, though cities all decay. <br /> <br />Roome is more large, then spacious Millaine faire, <br />Or Venice or the Tartars great Camball, <br />Boeams three Prages, or Egypts rich Alcaire, <br />Or Quinset in Cataie biggest of them all, <br />And more I say, after the day of doome <br />Hell shall be no where, vnles it be in roome.<br /><br />Anonymous Olde English<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-seemes-that-tunis-is-an-auncient-towne/
