[Original]

I LATELY vowed to leave the nuns alone,

So oft their freaks have in my page been shown.

The subject may at length fatigue the mind;

My Muse the veil howe'er is still inclined,

Conspicuously to hold to publick view,

And, 'mong the sisters, scene and scene pursue.

Is this too much?—the nicest tricks they play;

Through soft amours oft artfully they stray,
