Then left the mongrel his supposèd rabbit,

And slinked away from his monastic veil,

Just like a dog that newly burnt his tail.

When he had cast his woman, and put on

Unto his lord, told him Felice's gone,

And that his conscience did conclude her chaste.

'She Folco's large endowments must inherit,

And promised me to recompense my merit.'
