Note 470 — Chapter XIV

A Papacy composed of compliment, Debate, consideration, complaisance, Of furthermore, then, but, yes, well, perchance, Haply, and such-like terms inconsequent; Of thought, conjecture, counsel, argument, Starveling surmise to summon countenance, Negotiations, audiences, romance, Fine words and shifts, disbursement to prevent; Of feet of lead, of tame neutrality, Of patience and parade to outer view. Of fawning Faith, of Hope and Charity, Of Innocence and good intentions too, Which it were well to dub simplicity, Uglier interpretations to eschew; With your permission, you, To speak the plain truth out, shall live to see Pope Adrian sainted through this Papacy.
