XXXV.

She was no Hypocrite at least, poor soul,

But went to heaven in as sincere a way

As anybody on the elected roll,

Which portions out upon the Judgment Day

Heaven's freeholds, in a sort of Doomsday scroll,

Such as the conqueror William did repay

His knights with, lotting others' properties

Into some sixty thousand new knights' fees.
