Claiming to be a redeemed man,

he eschewed any carnal appetites.

 

Hating any bodily desire,

He extinguished his sexual fire.

 

He was now a man of spiritual power—  

in charge of all the nuns as a great prior

till he saw her, the lovely sister in the priory

not far away from the pious brothers in friary;

 

It was there, he saw her body movement like a snake—  

acting very weird or mysterious like a flake;

 

Piety was now threatened by the productive organ.

And all the abstention together with scriptures, forgone.

 

He approached her, crawling like Adam in Eden,

then, he was a fallen man with his sexual desire fed in.
