Sonnet XXIII

[Pg 26]

SONNET XXIII.

Il successor di Carlo, che la chioma.

ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE EMPEROR AGAINST THE INFIDELS, AND THE RETURN OF THE POPE TO ROME.

The high successor of our Charles,[P] whose hairThe crown of his great ancestor adorns,Already has ta'en arms, to bruise the hornsOf Babylon, and all her name who bear;Christ's holy vicar with the honour'd loadOf keys and cloak, returning to his home,Shall see Bologna and our noble Rome,If no ill fortune bar his further road.Best to your meek and high-born lamb belongsTo beat the fierce wolf down: so may it beWith all who loyalty and love deny.Console at length your waiting country's wrongs,And Rome's, who longs once more her spouse to see,And gird for Christ the good sword on thy thigh.
Macgregor.
