Who tied his hands and bound him to a tree

Face 'gainst the wood, that none his front might see;

And while the cruel troop, with rage inflamed,

The various instruments the sisters used

To punish when obedience was refused;

Another double-locked, within a room.

The nuns of tender hearts and youthful bloom:—
