"Sooner will I with Cerberus exchange

My office (and his is no sinecure)

Than see this royal Bedlam-bigot range[gv]

The azure fields of Heaven, of that be sure!"

"Saint!" replied Satan, "you do well to avenge

The wrongs he made your satellites endure;

And if to this exchange you should be given,

I'll try to coax our Cerberus up to Heaven!"
