Explore "The Pope and the Net" by Robert Browning on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What, he on whom our voices unanimously ran, / Made Pope at our last Conclave? Full low his life began: / His father earned the daily bread as just a fisherman.
So much the more his boy minds book, givesproof of mother-wit, / Becomes first Deacon, and then Priest, then Bishop: see him sit / No less than Cardinal erelong, while no one cries "Unfit!"
