As being Pietro Bernardone’s son,
Nor yet as one despised wondrously;
But like a king his stern intention 91
To Innocent he opened, who did give
The first seal to that new religion.
Then, when the race content as poor to live 94
Grew behind him, whose life, so high renowned,
Would, in Heaven’s glory, higher songs receive,
With a new diadem once more was crowned 97
By Pope Honorius, from on high inspired,
