Borromeo had himself been created Cardinal and Archbishop by his
uncle Pius IV, when under twenty years of age, and though he had been
accustomed to live in splendor at Rome, and might have dreaded the
displeasure of the Pontiff for whom he held the public and privy seal and
acted as Grand Penitentiary and Legate of Bologna and Romagna, he

In some strange land, alone, her weary feet
The time-worn pilgrim finds, with toil fordone,
Yet but the more speeds on her languid frame;
Her solitude the same,
When night has closed around;
Yet has the wanderer found
A deep though short forgetfulness at last
Of every woe, and every labour past.
