Thus Etough looked; so grinned the brawling fiend, + 

While frighted prelates bowed and called him friend; + 

I saw them bow, and while they wished him dead, + 

With servile simper nod the mitred head. + 

Our mother-church, with half-averted sight, + 

Blushed as she blessed her grisly proselyte; + 

Hosannas rung through hell’s tremendous borders, + 

And Satan’s self had thoughts of taking orders. + 
