A clerical rhymer of the thirteenth century describes the prelates of the day—
“Episcopi cornuti conticuere muti; ad prædam sunt parati et indecenter coronati, pro virga ferunt lanceam pro infula galeam. “sicut fortes incedunt et a Deo discedunt. ut leones feroces et ut aquilæ veloces, ut apri frendentes exacuere dentes.”
Carmina Burana, p. 15 (Breslau. 1883).
