Qua si fa elmi. br br Here helms and swords are made of chalices: br The blood of Christ is sold so much the quart: br His cross and thorns are spears and shields; and short br Must be the time ere even his patience cease. br Nay let him come no more to raise the fees br Of this foul sacrilege beyond report! br For Rome still flays and sells him at the court, br Where paths are closed to virtue's fair increase. br Now were fit time for me to scrape a treasure! br Seeing that work and gain are gone; while he br Who wears the robe, is my Medusa still.
