XXXVII

  That warder then shows Caesar Borgia, grown

  Puissant in Italy, through this king's grace;

  For all Rome's peerage, and all lords that own

  Her sway, he into exile seems to chase:

  Then shows the king, that will the saw take down,

  And papal acorns in Bologna place:

  Then Genoa's burghers, by this monarch broke,

  And rebel city stooping to his yoke.
