None Parody Alexander Pope The Nun Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

None Parody Alexander Pope The Nun



How disappointing is ditched damsel’s lot,
one world begetting, by wan world forgot!
Eternal Styx constricts fixed fate resigned,
refused each pray'r where rancour finds minds blind.

How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.
