POOR Isabella, with her sight on ground,

Confused, till then had scarcely looked around,

Now raised her eyes, and luckily perceived

The breeches, which her fears in part relieved,

And that the sisters, by surprise unnerved,

As oft's the case, had never once observed.

She courage took, and to the abbess said,

There's something from the Psalter, on your head,

That awkwardly hangs down; pray, madam, try

To put it right, or 'twill be in your eye.
