Epigramma G.B. de Roma & Papa.
Non ego Romulea miror quod pastor in urbe
Sceptra gerat, Pastor conditor urbis erat.
Quum{que} lupae gentis nutritus lacte sit Autor,
Non ego Romulea miror in urbe lupos,
Haec tantum superat nostrum admiratio captum,
Quomodo securum praestet ovile lupus.
The same Translated.
It is not strange a Shepherd reigns in Rome,
For he that built it was a Shepherds Groom;
Nor is it strange that Wolves in Rome abound,
He suck't a Wolf that did the City found:
But this is strange, and far above my skill,
How Wolves should keep the flock secure from ill.
FINIS.
