When Brother Paolo's energetic shake

Should do the relics justice: since 't was thought,

Once vulnerable Pietro out of reach,

That, left at Rome as representative,

The Abate, backed by a potent patron here,

And otherwise with purple flushing him,

Might play a good game with the creditor,

Make up a moiety which, great or small,

Should go to the common stock—if anything,

Guido's, so far repayment of the cost
