Yet some did scoff, and some believ’d
That sinners were themselves deceiv’d;
And taking Monks for more than men
They prov’d themselves, nine out of ten,
Mere dupes of these Old Fathers hoary;
But read—and mark the story.
Near, in a little Farm, there liv’d
A buxom Dame of twenty three;
And by the neighbours ’twas believ’d
A very Saint was She!
