holy holy holy
See now the top rung
lights of the world,
both called holy:
here top the Ladder of the Moon,
Holy Roman Emperor;
there top the Ladder of the Sun,
Holy Father, Bishop of Rome.
Two lights with brides
in triumphal train,
a juggler and a madman
or, with irony perchance,
a holy fool and true:
the other two outshone.
