text_original: The hymn * Veni, Creator ' had been sung, and the assembly was absorbed in the examination of a portent — an egg on which the form of a black snake seemed to be trace  able, writhing beneath a shield pressed down upon its head — ^when Roland entered, and, addressing Gregory, cried aloud : * The king and our bishops bid thee come down from the chair of Peter, which thou hast gained by robbery.'
