    Describes Daniel D Home's ban from Rome, a measure reflecting Pope Pius IX's abhorrence of Home's 'contraband' 'spirits'. Concludes by explaining that if Home were to 'get / Up some apparition like that of Salette, / Or cause a Madonna to wink' then he and his spirits might be able to remain in Rome.
