First Line: ABOVE THE CIRCUS OF THE WORLD SHE SAT Last Line: SHRIEKED AT HER FEET AND FOR HER PASTIME DIED. Subject(s): ROME, ITALY;
Above the circus of the world she sat, Beautiful and base, a harlot crowned with pride: Fierce nations, upon whom she sneered and spat, Shrieked at her feet and for her pastime died.
