DE LA FONTAINE + + + + Volume 12. + + Contains: + The Monks of Catalonia + The Cradle + + + + THE MONKS OF CATALONIA + + + TO you, my friends, allow me to detail, + The feats of monks in Catalonia's vale, + Where oft the holy fathers pow'rs displayed, + And showed such charity to wife and maid, + That o'er their minds sweet fascination reigned, + And made them think, they Paradise had gained. + + SUCH characters oft preciously advise, + And youthful easy female minds surprise, + The beauteous FAIR encircle with their net, + And, of the feeling heart, possession get: + Work in the holy vineyard, you may guess, + And, as our tale will show, with full success. + + IN times of old, when learning 'mong the FAIR, + Enough to read the testament, was rare, + (Times howsoe'er thought difficult to quote,) + A swarm of monks of gormandizing note, + Arrived and fixed themselves within a town, + For young and beauteous belles of great renown, + While, of gallants, there seemed but very few, + Though num'rous aged husbands you might view. + + A NOBLE chapel soon the fathers raised, + To which the females ran and highly praised, + Surveyed it o'er and confidently thought, + 'Twas there, of course, salvation should be sought. + And when their faith had thoroughly been proved, + To gain their point the monks the veil removed.-- + Good father Andrew scorned to use finesse, + And in discourse the sex would thus address. + + IF any thing prevent your sov'reign bliss, + And Paradise incautiously you miss, + Most certainly the evil will arise, + From keeping for your husbands large supplies, + Of what a surplus you have clearly got, + And more than requisite to them allot, + Without bestowing on your trusty friends, + The saving that to no one blessings lends. + + PERHAPS you'll tell me, marriage boons we shun; + 'Tis true, and Heav'n be praised enough is done, + Without those duties to require our share + You know from direful sin we guard the FAIR. + Ingratitude 's declared the height of crimes, + And God pronounced it such in early times; + For this eternally was Satan curst; + Howe'er you err, be careful of the worst. + Return to Heav'n your thanks for bounteous care, + And then to us a tithe of surplus spare, + Which costs you nothing worth a moment's thought; + And marks the zeal with which our faith is taught, + A claim legitimate our order opes, + Bestowed, for holy offices, by popes, + No charitable gift, but lawful right: + Priests well supported are a glorious sight. + Four times a year, exactly to a day, + Each wife this tithe should personally pay + Our holy saint requires that you submit: + 'Tis founded on decrees of holy writ. + All Nature carefully the law reveres, + That gratitude and fealty endears. + + NOW marriage works we rank as an estate, + And tithe is due for that at any rate. + We'll take it patiently, whate'er the toil: + Nor be o'er nice about the justful spoil. + Our order have not, you must surely know, + By many comforts, what we wish below. + + 'TIS right, however, that I now suggest, + Whatever passes must not be expressed; + But naught to husbands, parents, friends, reveal; + From ev'ry one the mysterious conceal. + Three words th' apostle taught: be these your care; + FAITH, CHARITY, and PRUDENCE learn to share. + + THE holy father, by his fine discourse, + Delivered with the most impressive force, + Gave wonderous satisfaction and surprise, + And passed with all for Solomon the wise; + Few slept while Andrew preached, and ev'ry wife, + His precepts guarded as she would her life; + And these not solely treasured in the mind, + But showed to practise them the heart inclined, + Each hastened tithe to bring without delay, + And quarrelled who should be the first to pay; + Loud murmurs rang, and many city dames, + Were forced to keep till morn the friar's claims, + And HOLY CHURCH, not knowing what to do, + Such numbers seemed to be in paying cue, + At length was forced, without restraint, to say, + The Lord commands that, till a future day, + You give us time to breathe:--so large the lot, + To serve for present we enough have got; + Too much the whole at once, but by degrees, + Your tithe we'll take and all contrive to please. + With us arrange the hour you would be here, + And some to-day:--to-morrow more we'll cheer; + The whole in order, and you'll clearly see, + That SOFTLY with FAIRLY best agree. + + THE sex inclined to follow this advice; + About receipts however they were not nice; + The entertainment greatly was admired, + And pure devotion all their bosoms fired, + A glass of cordial some apart received; + Good cheer was given, may be well believed; + Ten youthful dames brisk friar Fripart took, + Gay, airy, and engaging ev'ry look, + Who paid with pleasure all the monk could wish; + Some had fifteen:--some twelve to taste their dish; + Good friar Rock had twenty for his share, + And gave such satisfaction to the FAIR, + That some, to show they never grudged the price, + And proved their punctuality,--paid twice. + + So much indeed, that satiated with ways, + That six long months engaged their nights and days: + They gladly credit would have given now, + But found the ladies would not this allow, + Believing it most positively wrong, + To keep whate'er might to the church belong. + No tithe arrears were any where around, + So zealous were the dames in duty found, + They often in advance paid holy dues, + How pure the monks!--how just the ladies views! + The friars used despatch alone with those, + That for their fascinating charms they chose, + And sent the sempiternals to bestow, + The tribute they had brought on those below, + For in the refuse tithes that were their lot, + The laicks oft pleasant pickings got. + In short 'twas difficult to say, + What charity was shown from day to day. + + IT happened that one night a married dame, + Desirous to convey the monks their claim, + And walking with her spouse just by the spot, + Where dwelled the arch contrivers of the plot, + Good Heavens! said she, I well remember now, + I've business with a friar here, I vow; + 'Twill presently be done if you'll but wait; + Religious duties we must ne'er abate. + What duties? cried the husband with surprise; + You're surely mad:--'tis midnight I surmise; + Confess yourself to-morrow if required; + The holy fathers are to bed retired. + That makes no difference, the lady cried.-- + I think it does, the husband straight replied, + And thither I'll not let you go to-night:-- + What heinous sins so terribly affright, + That in such haste the mind you wish to ease? + To-morrow morn repair whene'er you please: + + YOU do me wrong, rejoined the charming fair; + I neither want confession nor a prayer, + But anxiously desire what is due to pay; + For if incautiously I should delay, + Long time 'would be ere I the monk should see, + With other matters he'll so busy be. + But what can you the holy fathers owe? + To which the lady said:--what don't you know? + A tithe, my dear, the friars always claim.-- + What tithe? cried he; it surely has a name. + Not know! astonishingly, replied the wife.-- + To which the husband answered:--On my life, + That women friars pay is very strange; + Will you particulars with me arrange? + How cunningly, said she, you seem to act; + Why clearly you're acquainted with the fact? + 'Tis Hymeneal works:--What works? cried he-- + Lord! said the dame, assuredly you see, + Why I had paid an hour ago or more + And you've prevented me when at the door; + I'm sure, of those who owe, I'm not the worst, + For I, in paying, always was the first. + + THE husband quite astonished now appeared; + At once a hundred diff'rent ills he feared; + But questioning his wife howe'er, he found, + That many other dames who lived around, + Like her; in paying tithes, the monks obeyed, + Which consolation to his breast conveyed. + Poor innocent! she nothing wished to hide; + Said she, not one but tithe they make provide; + Good friar Aubrey takes your sister's dues; + To father Fabry Mrs. B's accrues; + The mayoress friar William likes to greet, + A monk more handsome scarcely you will meet; + And I to friar Gerard always go; + I wished this night to pay him all I owe. + + ALAS! when tongues unbridled drop disguise, + What direful ills, what discords oft arise! + The cunning husband having thus obtained, + Particulars of what the fathers gained, + At first designed in secret to disclose, + Those scenes of fraud and matrimonial woes: + The mayor and citizens should know, he thought; + What dues were paid: what tithes the friars sought; + But since 'twas rather difficult to place, + Full credence, at the first, in such a case, + He judged it best to make the fellow speak, + To whom his wife had shown herself so weak. + + FOR father Gerard in the morn he sent, + Who, unsuspecting, to the husband went, + When, in the presence of the injured wife, + He drew his sword and swore he'd take his life, + Unless the mystery he would disclose, + Which he reluctantly through terror chose. + Then having bound the friar hand and foot, + And in another room his lady put, + He sallied forth his hapless lot to tell, + And to the mayor exposed the wily spell; + The corporation next; then up and down, + The secret he divulged throughout the town. + + A CRY for vengeance presently was heard; + The whole at once to slaughter, some preferred + While others would the place with fire surround, + And burn the house with those within it found. + Some wished to drown them, bound within their dress; + With various other projects you may guess; + But all agreed that death should be their lot, + And those for burning had most voices got. + + WITHOUT delay they to the convent flew; + But when the holy mansion came in view, + Respect, the place of execution changed; + A citizen his barn for this arranged; + The crafty crew together were confined, + And in the blaze their wretched lives resigned, + While round the husbands danced at sound of drum, + And burnt whatever to their hands had come; + Naught 'scaped their fury, monks of all degrees, + Robes, mantles, capuchins, and mock decrees: + All perished properly within the flames; + But nothing more I find about the dames; + And friar Gerard, in another place, + Had met apart his merited disgrace. + + + + + + + THE CRADLE + + + NEAR Rome, of yore, close to the Florence road, + Was seen a humble innkeeper's abode; + Small sums were charged; few guests the night would stay; + And these could seldom much afford to pay. + A pleasing active partner had the host + Her age not much 'bove thirty at the most; + Two children she her loving husband bore; + The boy was one year old: the daughter more; + Just fifteen summers o'er her form had smiled; + In person charming, and in temper mild. + + IT happened that Pinucio, young and gay, + A youth of family, oft passed the way, + Admired the girl, and thought she might be gained, + Attentions showed, and like return obtained; + The mistress was not deaf, nor lover mute; + Pinucio seemed the lady's taste to suit, + Of pleasing person and engaging air; + And 'mong the equals of our youthful fair, + As yet, not one a pref'rence had received; + Nor had she e'er in golden dreams believed; + But, spite of tender years, her mind was high, + And village lads she would not let come nigh. + + COLUTTA, (such her name,) though much admired; + And many in the place her hand desired, + Rejected some, and others would not take, + And this most clearly for Pinucio's sake. + Long conversations she could rarely get, + And various obstacles the lovers met; + No interviews where they might be at ease, + But ev'ry thing conspired to fret and teaze. + O parents, husbands! be advised by me; + Constraint with wives or children won't agree; + 'Tis then the god of love exerts his art, + To find admittance to the throbbing heart. + + PINUCIO and a friend, one stormy night, + The landlord's reached and would in haste alight; + They asked for beds, but were too late they found: + You know, sir, cried the host, we don't abound; + And now the very garrets we have let: + You'd better elsewhere try your wish to get, + And spite of weather, further on pursue + At best, our lodging is unfit for you. + + HAVE you no truckle bed? the lover cried; + No corner left?--we fain would here abide: + Why, truly, said the host, we always keep + Two beds within the chamber where we sleep; + My wife and I, of course, take one of these; + Together lie in t'other if you please. + The spark replied, this we will gladly do; + Come, supper get; that o'er, the friends withdrew: + Pinucio, by Coletta's sage advice, + In looking o'er the room was very nice; + With eagle-eyes particulars he traced, + Then 'tween the clothes himself and friend he placed. + A camp-bed for the girl was on the floor; + The landlord's, 'gainst the wall and next the door; + Another opposite the last was set, + And this, to guests, at certain times was let; + And 'tween the two, but near the parents' best, + A cradle for the child to rest its head, + From which a pleasant accident arrived, + That our gallant's young friend of rest deprived. + + WHEN midnight came, and this gay spark supposed + The host and hostess' eyes in sleep were closed, + Convinced the time appointed was at hand, + To put in execution what was planned, + He to the camp-bed silently repaired, + And found the belle by Morpheus not insnared; + Coletta taught a play that mortals find + Fatigues the body more than plagues the mind: + A truce succeeded, but 'twas quickly o'er: + Those rest not long who pilfer Cupid's store. + + AGAIN, when to the room the hostess came, + And found the cradle rested not the same, + Good heav'ns! cried she, it joins my husband's head: + And, but for that, I truly had been led + To lay myself unthinkingly beside + The strangers whom with lodging we provide; + But, God be praised, this cradle shows the place + Where my good husband's pillow I must trace. + This said, she with the friend was quickly laid, + Without suspecting what mistake she'd made. + + BETWEEN the lovers all was blithe and gay, + When suddenly the friend, though far from day, + Was forced to rise ('twas plain a pressing case,) + And move the infant's cradle from its place, + To ope the door, and lest he noise might make, + Or any way by chance the child should wake, + He set it carefully beside his bed, + And (softly treading) to the garden sped. + + ON his return he passed the cradle by; + To place it as before he would not try, + But went to sleep; when presently a sound, + From something that had tumbled, rang around, + Awoke his wife, who ran below, + That what had happened she might clearly know. + No fool in such adventures was our Wight: + The opportunity he would not slight, + But played the husband well: no, no, I'm wrong; + He played it ill:--too oft, too much, too long; + For whosoe'er would wish to do it well, + Should softly go:--the gentle most excel. + + IN truth, the wife was quite surprised to find + Her spouse so much to frolicking inclined; + Said she, what ails the man, he's grown so gay? + A lad of twenty's not more fond of play. + Well! let's enjoy the moments while we can; + God's will be done, since life is but a span! + + THE words were scarcely said, when our gallant + Renewed his fun, and nothing seemed to want; + Indeed, the hostess still her charms possessed, + And, on occasion, well might be caressed. + + MEANWHILE Coletta, dreading a surprise, + Prevailed upon her paramour to rise; + 'Twas nearly break of day when he withdrew, + But, groping to his place the way anew, + Pinucio, by the cradle too, was led + To miss his friend's and take the landlord's bed. + No sooner in than with an under voice, + (Intriguers oft too eagerly rejoice,) + Said he, my friend, I wish I could relate + The pleasure I've received; my bliss is great; + To you, I'm sorry, Fortune proves so cold; + Like happiness I'd fain in you behold; + Coletta is a morsel for a king; + Inestimable girl!--to me she'll cling. + I've many seen, but such a charming fair, + There's not another like her any where. + + WITH softest skin, delightful form and mien; + Her ev'ry act resembles BEAUTY's queen; + In short, before we'd ended with our fun, + Six posts (without a fiction) we had run. + The host was struck with what the spark averred, + And muttered something indistinctly heard. + + THE hostess whispered HIM she thought her spouse:-- + Again, my dear, such sparks let's never house; + Pray don't you hear how they together chat?-- + Just then the husband raised himself and sat; + Is this your plan? said he with mighty rage; + Was it for THIS you would my house engage? + You understand me, but I'll seek redress; + Think you so very cheap to have success? + What, would you ruin families at will, + And with our daughters take at ease your fill? + Away, I say! my house this moment quit; + And as for You, abominable chit, + I'll have your life: this hour you breathe your last; + Such creatures only can with beasts be classed. + + PINUCIO heard the lecture with dismay, + At once was mute, and grew as cold as clay; + A moment's silence through the room prevailed; + Coletta trembled, and her lot bewailed. + The hostess now, on ev'ry side perceived + Her peril great, and for the error grieved. + The friend, howe'er, the cradle called to mind, + Which caused the many ills we've seen combined, + And instantly he cried:--Pinucio! strange + You thus allow yourself about to range; + Did I not tell you when the wine you took, + 'Twould make many sad misfortunes hook? + Whene'er you freely drink, 'tis known fall well, + Your sleep's disturbed, you walk, and nonsense tell. + Come, come to bed: the morning soon will peep; + Pinucio took the hint, pretended sleep, + And carried on so artfully the wile, + The husband no suspicion had of guile. + The stratagem our hostess likewise tried, + And to her daughter's bed in silence hied, + Where she conceived her fortress was so strong, + She presently began to use her tongue, + And cried aloud:--Impossible the fact; + Such things he could not with Coletta act; + I've with her been in bed throughout the night, + And she, no more than I, has swerved from right; + 'Twere mighty pretty, truly, here to come; + At this the host a little while was dumb; + But in a lower tone at length replied + I nought with your account I'm satisfied. + + THE party rose; the titter circled round; + And each sufficient reason for it found; + The whole was secret, and whoe'er had gained, + With care upon the subject mute remained. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK TALES AND NOVELS OF FONTAINE, V12 *** + +*********** This file should be named 5286.txt or 5286.zip *********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
