Then hale the carrion to the market-place;

Let the town-hangman chop from his right hand

Those same three fingers which he blessed withal;

Next cut the head off, once was crowned forsooth:

And last go fling them, fingers, head and trunk,

To Tiber that my Christian fish may sup!'

—Either because of ΙΧΘΥΣ which means Fish

And very aptly symbolizes Christ,

Or else because the Pope is Fisherman,

And seals with Fisher's-signet.
