The Real Prioress

The Prioress

There was a Nun, a pleasant Prioress.
This lady smile was coy, I must confess.
And she was known as Madame Eglentyne.

She liked to chant the services divine;
But then, in truth, she sang straight through her nose!
And as a court-bred dame she liked to pose:
She spoke fair French, but with an accent queer,
For Paris she had never come anear.
