I remember, when I was in Cambridge some thirty years since, there was a flying though false report, that Pope Urban the Eighth was cooped up by his cardinals in the castle of St. Angelo. Hereupon a waggish scholar said, " Jam verissimum est Papa non potest errare, " "it was then true (according to their received intelligence) that the Pope could not straggle or wand...er.
