I had two worlds to shape and blend in one, The Pagan and the Christian, glorious both, One past her day, one nascent. Thus I mused — Old Pagan Rome vanquished ignobler lands, Then won them to herself through healing laws : Thus Christian Rome must vanquish Pagan Rome, The barbarous races next : both victories won, Thus draw them "to her, vanquishing their hearts Through Law divine. What followed? Pagan Rome 1 1 6 Const antine at Constantinople. Hates Christian Rome for my sake daily more ; Gna...shes her teeth at me. " Who was it, " she cries, " That laid the old Roman Legion prone in dust Cancelling that law which freed it from taxation ? Who quelled the honest vices of the host By laws that maimed all military pride ? Who hurled to the earth the nobles of old race And o'er them set his titular nobles new And courtier prelates freed from tax and toll ? Who ground our merchants as they grind their com ? " False charges all ; they know them to be false : The Roman legion ere my birth was dead : Those other scandals were in substance old ; My laws were needfullest efforts to abate them.
