On the Pope - Backwards

Eximium decus hoc fecit te scandere rerum
Copia, non virtus, fraus tua, non tua laus.

The height which we adore what made thee climb?
Not virtue, nor thy worth, rather thy crime.

Notes

The same as On the Pope, but made backwards, after Buchanan was out of the Pope's jurisdiction.
