—Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)
“Convent. A place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the sin of idleness.”

“Douglas. Now remains a sweet reversion—
We may boldly spend, upon the hope
Of what is to come in.
A comfort of retirement lives in this.
Hotspur. A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.”
