" Why shouldn't I become Pope like Sixtus Quintus who kept pigs" ?

“我为什么不能像养猪的西克斯图斯·昆图斯那样成为教皇”？

The Hercules of modern times is the Pope Sixtus Quintus, who deceived by his modesty fifteen years on end forty Cardinals who had seen the liveliness and haughtiness of his whole youth.

现代的赫拉克勒斯是教皇西克斯图斯·昆图斯，他以谦虚的态度欺骗了 15 年之久的 40 位红衣主教，这些红衣主教看到了他整个青年时期的活泼和傲慢。
