1 love to hear men flattering, lave Lashioflab].e clothes,
1 love music and dancing and cbattiflg with the beaux.
So 1 can’t be a nun —no, 1 won’t be a ruin—
I’m so Lond of pleasure that 1 cannot be a nun.
O mother, don’t be arigry now, but let your daughter be,
For the nuris would not luce to have a novice wild as me.
Md 1 can’t be a nun -rio, 1 won’t be a ritan—
Vm so fond of pleasure that 1 cannot be a ritan.

Now is it not a pity such a pretty girí as 1
Should be sent to a nunnery to pine away arid die?
Biat 1 won’t be a ritan, no 1 won’t be a nun,
I’m so Lorid of pleasure that 1 cannot be a ruin!
1 couldn’t bear confineníeflt, it would never do Por me,
For 1 like to go a—walking Por to see vlaat 1 can see.
1 love to hear men taiking, 1 love Lashionable clothes,
1 love to be a—dancing arid a—chattirlg vith the beaux.
So mother, cease your Lretting, and let your daughter be,
me nuria could not do nothing with a novice as wild as me.
