1413 Who first upon his Maker turned his back, And whose ambition is so sorely wept, Brings forth and scatters the accursed flower 1414 Which both the sheep and lambs hath led astray Since it has turned the shepherd to a wolf. For this the Evangel and the mighty Doctors 1415 Are derelict, and only the Decretals So studied that it shows upon their margins. On this are Pope and Cardinals intent; Their meditations reach not Nazareth, There where his pinions Gabriel unfolded; 1416 But Vatican and the other parts elect Of Rome, which have a cemetery been Unto the soldiery that followed Peter Shall soon be free from this adultery.”
