"Dear Abilech, now here's the thing
That best will please the Lord our King.
Just do exactly as I do,
And let me teach you something new."
Then he knelt down and so did she,
Then tunics off; she looked to see
That he had something she did not.
"Rustico, what is that you've got?"
"It's a devil," to her he said,
"See how he rears his ruddy head?
He gives to me an awful pain
But we will school him, to God's gain."
"Oh blessed be!" the maiden cried
"That I am not by devils tried."
"It's true a devil you have not,"
Our hermit said, "but you have got
Instead a hell, consider that...
Come over here, to my bed-mat...
The devil should be put in hell
It's there that God wants him to dwell.
It is a holy, blessed task.
Will you do it, as I ask?"
"At once!" she cried, "if God it please!
I'm here to do such works as these!"
That best will please the Lord our King.
Just do exactly as I do,
And let me teach you something new."
