The Tales and Novels, v20: Neighbor Peter's Mare &c.

Excerpt

          HER name was Alibech, if I recollect;
          Too innocent, deceptions to detect. 
          One day this lovely maiden having read,
          How certain pious, holy saints were led,
          The better to observe religious care,
          To seek retirement in some lorn repair,
          Where they, like Heav’nly Angels, moved around,
          Some here, some there, were in concealment found,
          Was quite delighted, strange as it may seem,
          And presently she formed the frantick scheme,
          Of imitating those her mind revered,
          And to her plan most rigidly adhered.
