On her own showing, were to shift her root

From the old cold shade and unhappy soil

Into a generous ground that fronts the south:

Where, since her callow soul, a-shiver late,

Craved simply warmth and called mere passers-by

To the rescue, she should have her fill of shine.

Do house and husband hinder and not help?

Why then, forget both and stay here at peace,

Come into our community, enroll

Herself along with those good Convertites,
