For priest's-exemption where the layman sinned,—

Go this arm frocked which, bare, the law would bruise,

Hence, at this moment, what's his last resource,

His extreme stay and utmost stretch of hope

But that,—convicted of such crime as law

Wipes not away save with a worldling's blood,—

Guido, the three-parts consecrate, may 'scape?

Nay, the portentous brothers of the man

Are veritably priests, protected each

May do his murder in the Church's pale,
