Aid our endeavor! and the Holy See

Build firm foundations!—Let the corner-stone

Of our most Holy Inquisition here

Be mortared with the blood of heretics

That its strong structure may endure!—And he,

This Torquemada, the Dominican,

Made Grand Inquisitor and Cardinal,

This monk who writes you now, whose spirit feels

That God inspires him with His own desires,

Shall blaze God's name in blood upon the world.
