[7] "That Roman, that Judean bond
United then dispart no more--
Pierce through the veil; the rind beyond
Lies hid the legend's deeper lore.
Therein the mystery lies expressed
Of power transferred, yet ever one;
Of Rome--the Salem of the West--
Of Sion, built o'er Babylon."

[13] He says at the end of 500 hendecasyllabics (jam te veniam loquacitati
Quingenti hendecasyllabi precantur):

"Hinc ad balnea non Neroniana,
Nec quae Agrippa dedit, vel ille cujus
Bustum Dalmaticae vident Salonae,
Ad thermas tamen ire sed libebat,
Privato bene praebitas pudori".

Thierry, _Derniers Temps de l'Empire d'Occident_, pp. 77-101.

[15] There is a strange occurrence recorded by St. Gregory in his
_Dialogues_ as having taken place in this church, which would seem to point
at Ricimer's burial in it.

[16] This account has been shortened from that of Gregorovius, i. 231-5.

haben, als sich zum Roemischen kaiser im Abendlande ausrufen lassen".
