As these were times when loyalty 's a drug,

And zeal in a subordinate too cheap

And common to be saved when we spend life!

Come, 't is too much good breath we waste in words:

The pardon, Holy Father! Spare grimace,

Shrugs and reluctance! Are not we the world,

Art not thou Priam? let soft culture plead

Hecuba-like, 'non tali' (Virgil serves)

'Auxilio,' and the rest! Enough, it works!

The Pope relaxes, and the Prince is loth,
