2460Viewing this nunn'ry, did ordain this choice,
And for the issue did appoint this daddy.
They shall be prophets, priests of high renown,
And virgins which shall keep their bellies down.
Provide them childbed linen, mantles, swaddles,
Rockers and nurses, all officious shes,
With rattles, corals, little cars, and cradles,
And give them beads to wait upon their knees.
Rome's high arch-vicar shall a testate be
To the first-born whom Nature makes a he.
