Erasmus - In Praise of Folly |

After the dinner at the Court all the members of the congress were invited to a vast throne hall (near the supposed site of Solo-
mon's throne), and the Emperar, addressing the
representatives of the Catholic hierarchy, told them that the well-being of their Church clearly de-
manded from them the immediate
election
of a worthy successor to the apostate Peter, that in the circumstances of the time the election must needs be
a summary one, that his the Emperor's presence as that of the leader and representative of the whole
Christian world, would amply make up for the in- evitable omissions in the ritual, and that he on behalf of all the Christians suggested that the Holy College elect his beloved friend and brother Apollonius, so that their close friendship could firmly and in-
unite Church and State for their / mutual benefit.

Beyond three days, whose hours were told,
They should inherit nought: and he,
To whom next came their patrimony, _490
A sallow lawyer, cruel and cold,
Aye watched me, as the will was read,
With eyes askance, which sought to see
The secrets of my agony;
And with close lips and anxious brow _495
Stood canvassing still to and fro
The chance of my resolve, and all
The dead man's caution just did call;

And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step
Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare
To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop -- docile and
omnipotent
--
At its own stable door.
