But some one smirks, some other smiles, jogs elbow and nods head;
Each wings at each: “I’ faith, a rise! Saint Peter’s net, instead
Of sword and keys, is come in vogue!” You think he blushes red?
Not he, of humble holy heart! “Unworthy me!” he sighs:
“From fisher’s drudge to Church’s prince—it is indeed a rise:
So, here’s my way to keep the fact forever in my eyes!”
And straightway in his palace-hall, where commonly is set
Some coat-of-arms, some portraiture ancestral, lo, we met
His mean estate’s reminder in his fisher-father’s net!
Which step conciliates all and some, stops cavil in a trice:
