Gower, John

Poetry

Roma caput mundi fuit omni tempore, saltem
  Dum communis amor rexit in vrbe forum:
  Set diuisa statim viduata recessit honore,
  Eius et imperium perdidit omne decus.                             1010
  Non honor Athenis decessit, dummodo ciues
  Vnanimes odium non habuere simul;
  Postea quando grauis vrbem diuisio spersit,
  Ammodo de veteri sumpsit honore nichil.
  Sors tamen illa deo mediante recedat ab vrbe
  Nostra, que magno fulsit honore diu.
