'T was strange enough she should retain the impression

Through such a scene of change, and dread, and slaughter;

But though three Bishops told her the transgression,

She showed a great dislike to holy water;

She also had no passion for confession;

Perhaps she had nothing to confess:—no matter,

Whate'er the cause, the Church made little of it—

She still held out that Mahomet was a prophet.
