So that, though earldoms court her, her disdains
720Nonsuits their service, and her brow unplains.
Into your number of chaste-zealous shes,
Entrance unto this girl vouchsafe, I pray,
Unto your order. I the constant fees
Of gold and acres, and of vows will pay.
Since she Don slighted, I have vowed to see
How long she'll honour the religious knee.'
Quoth she, 'Those virgins which my hallowed roof
Does canopy, my prudence does protect.
