[Footnote 105: In the metrical life of Celestine V. by the
cardinal of St. George (Muratori, tom. iii. P. i. p. 613,
&c.,) we find a luminous, and not inelegant, passage, (l. i.
c. 3, p. 203 &c.:) -
- genuit quem nobilis Ursae (Ursi?) Progenies, Romana domus,
veterataque magnis Fascibus in clero, pompasque experta
senatus, Bellorumque manu grandi stipata parentum Cardineos
apices necnon fastigia dudum Papatus iterata tenens.
Muratori (Dissert. xlii. tom. iii.) observes, that the first
Ursini pontificate of Celestine III. was unknown: he is
inclined to read Ursi progenies.]
