_Pasquinade._--In May last was placed on Pasquin's statue in Rome the
following triglot epigram, of which the original Latin was borrowed from
"NOTES AND QUERIES." As it is not probable that the Papal police allowed
it to remain long before the eyes of the lieges of his Holiness, allow
me to lay up in your pages this memorial of a visit to Rome during the
"Aggression" summer.
"Cum Sapiente Pius nostras juravit in aras,
Impius heu Sapiens, desipiensque Pius.
"When a league 'gainst our Faith Pope with Cardinal tries,
Neither _Wiseman_ is Pious, nor _Pius_ is Wise.
"Quando Papa' o' Cardinale
Chiesa' Inglese tratta male,
Que Chiamo quella gente,
Piu? No-no, ni Sapiente.
