ling and oil prepared for fray.Intended to burn the maid that dav. 127In delirious fits with gloomy light Gave into charge that innocent soul,Would spurn mans attire, abandon fight Against the sacred strict Christian ruleBy maidens gown found mercy from crown.Table was turned after sun went down. 128The male attire she promised to spurn For maidens garments in gloomy cell;Merciful crown caused repentants turn. In prison for life doom gloomy fell.Pishops and priests did hatefully turn.When deprived of lust to maiden burn. 129Devils wicked and dangerous beasts. Cross holding in hand, away they turn.But holding cross of mercy from priests. With anger and sneers they pleading spurn7heir mercy for souls in glowing blazeWere grinning smiles on the angel face. 130They table turned in silence at night Brought attire of man back into cell.Took the maidens garments out of sight. Trap bishop sprung death curtain fell,Maid in morning with shivering fright.When attire of man on floor in sight. 120
