cried the husband with surprise; You're surely mad:--'tis midnight I surmise; Confess yourself to-morrow if required; The holy fathers are to bed retired. That makes no difference, the lady cried. -- I think it does, the husband straight replied, And thither I'll not let you go to-night:-- What heinous sins so terribly affright, That in such haste the mind you wish to ease? To-morrow morn repair whene'er you please: YOU do me wrong, rejoined the charming fair; I neither want confession nor a pr...ayer, But anxiously desire what is due to pay; For if incautiously I should delay, Long time 'would be ere I the monk should see, With other matters he'll so busy be. But what can you the holy fathers owe? To which the lady said:--what don't you know? A tithe, my dear, the friars always claim. -- What tithe? cried he; it surely has a name. Not know! astonishingly, replied the wife. -- To which the husband answered:--On my life, That women friars pay is very strange; Will you particulars with me arrange?
