Of a monk’s eye glitter and glare.

Your pardon![535]—nay, keep your chair!

I wander a little, but mean

No offence to the gray gabardine:

Of the church,[536] Fra Giacomo,

I’m a faithful upholder,[537] you know.

But (humor me![538]) she was as sweet

As the saints in yon[539] convent windows,

So gentle, so meek, so discreet,

She knew not what lust does or sin does.
