NUNS [ Also see Priests ] Love, to her ear, was but a name,   Combin'd with vanity and shame;     Her hopes, her fears, her joys, were all       Bounded within the cloister wall.       - Sir Walter Scott Know of your youth, examine well your blood,   Whether, if you yield not to your father's choice,     You can endure the livery of a nun;       For aye to be in shady cloister mewed;         To live a barren sister all your life,           Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.             Thrice blessed they, that master so their blood,               To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.       - William Shakespeare Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
