"An unbelieving Pope won't do you say.

It's like those eerie stories nurses tell,
Of how some actor played Death on a stage
With paste-board crown, sham orb and tinseled dart.

And called himself the monarch of the world ...
Got touched upon the sleeve familiarly
By Death himself. Thus God might touch a Pope
At unawares, as what this baubles mean.

And whose part he presumed to play just now?"
