While summer's heat from air so much debarred;

That few would venture from the convent-roof,

Lest, 'gainst the sun, their cheeks should not be proof:

Said one, approaching him, let's take this fool,

And place him in the garden-house to cool.

The lad was handsome, with engaging mien:

The nun admired the features she had seen,

And Cupid raised a wish to be at ease,

Where she, without restraint, herself might please.

What would you, cried the other, with him do?
