By
John Donne.
The cold white snowie
Nunnery,
Which, as thy
mother, their high
abbesse, sent
Their
bodies backe againe to thee,
As thou hadst lent them,
cleane and
innocent,
Though they have not obtain'd of thee,
That or thy
Church, or I,
Should keep, as they, our first
integrity;
And call chast widowhead
Virginity
