'His last act was to sacrifice a Count

And thereby screen a scandal of the Church!

Guido condemned, the Canon justified

Of course,—delinquents of his cloth go free!'

And so the Luthers chuckle, Calvins scowl,

So thy hand helps Molinos to the chair

Whence he may hold forth till doom's day on just

These petit-maître priestlings,—in the choir,

Sanctus et Benedictus, with a brush

Of soft guitar-strings that obey the thumb,
