Your power, the temporal, slides inside the robe

Of mother Church: to her we make appeal

By the Pope, the Church's head!"

A parlous plea,

Put in with noticeable effect, it seems;

"Since straight,"—resumes the zealous orator,

Making a friend acquainted with the facts,—

"Once the word 'clericality' let fall,

Procedure stopped and freer breath was drawn

By all considerate and responsible Rome."
