    • 1846, Johan Nybom, Samlade dikter III, page 32:
      Det gamla Roma var
      Nu hela kristenhetens rika prestgäll,
      Ett pandämonium som förr, der lasten,
      I påfvemantel och i munkekåpor,
      Uppvaktade — o, hvilket skändligt hån!
      The old Rome were
      Now the rich clergy of all Christendom,
      A pandemonium as of old, where vice,
      In pope's robes and in monk's hoods,
      Courted — Oh, what a shameful mockery!
