They are a mine of wisdom, of vast extent and unknown depth, whose treasures lie chiefly beneath the surface, imbedded in the solid rock which must be entered with mining implements, explored with strong lights, and its wealth brought up by severe toil and sweat.

Pasquin could not have improved on these words. And when, twenty months after his elevation to the papacy, this hard old man died, the inscription which he ordered to be put upon his tomb was in words fit to disarm the satirist: "Here lies Adrian VI., who esteemed nothing in his life more unhappy than that he had been called to rule": "Adrianus VI. hîc situs est, qui nil sibi infelicius in vitâ quam quod imperaret duxit."

Res belle cecidit tuis Votis Emanuel. Solo Constitutus in Italo Aeternum decus, et tibi Quale Graecia non dedit Bello perdita Graecia.
