The wits of the Court seeing this, could not forbear so good a subject for _Pasquins_, but made them with all sharpness, yet as secretly as they could, they being well inform’d of the danger, oft exposing the defects of those that Rule: and though every body were mov’d with indignation to see the Pope so much mistake himself, as to preferre the company of a Woman to that of his Nephew, and the Princess of _Rossana_ his Wife, the only prop of the Family of _Pomphilio_; yet _Innocent_ was so prepossessed against them, that he would not hear of his Nephewes submissions and excuses. These murmurs and satyrical Discourses were all this while, either concealed from the Pope, or at least dissembled by him; as being unresolved of the means that should bridle so many tongues, and stop the mouthes of all Christendome; particularly, of the Protestants, who made very good sport with this female Government, not only laughing at the Pope, who by the assistance of the holy Ghost could not discern that which was the ruin of his reputation and family, but also by immodest representations, and contumehous pictures, giving the world to understand, that they were fully informed of the disorders of the Church of _Rome_. But at last the Pope, not being able to endure any longer the secret reproofs, and publick affronts which he received from Embassadours, and Princes themselves, as well as from the greatest part of the Cardinals; resolv’d to dismiss from the Court this ambitious sister in Law, whose unbridled licence he had hitherto countenanced, and to take away from her all sort of command and power. Thus _Donna Olympia_ being banished from Court, and the _Vatican_ purged of her corruptions, the Pope bethought himself of introducing a Nipotismo, that the Church might not loose its prescription. But before we begin to discourse of the particularities of this new Nipotismo, it will not be amiss to give an account of all the Popes kindred & relations, and begin with his nearest. He had one Nephew, and two Neeces, besides a sister, of whom we shall say but little as, well because she led a Nuns life in a Convent, as, because that _Donna Olympia_, out of a natural jealousie between Women, took care to keep her from receiving any kindnesses or favours from the Pope. * * * * * The Prince _Camillo Pamphilio_, though after three years banishment, he were at last recall’d to _Rome_ with his Lady, was nevertheless in so ill a predicament with his Uncle, who never was able to forget those tales which _Donna Olympia_ had continually entertained him with, to his Nephews disadvantage, that he was in _Rome_, as if he had been at the _Indies_, never coming neer the Pope or Court, at which he was not much troubled, as one who cared not to be concern’d in business, and thought himself happy enough in all private enjoyment of so lovely a Lady as his was.
