Cardinal Harmeric: It is not fitting that noisy and troublesome frogs should come out of their marshes and trouble the Holy See and the Cardinals.
Now, illustrious Harmeric, if you so wished, who would have been more capable from freeing me from the necessity of assisting at the council than yourself? Forbid those noisy troublesome frogs to come out of their holes, to leave the marshes … Then your friend will no longer be exposed to the accusations of pride and presumption.”
