good
which
has
resulted
to
her
from
it,
and
the
hami
she
had
done
to
herself
by
the
bad
use
which
she
had
made
of
the
gifts
which
now
have
been
taken
from
her,
she
is
completely
astonished
to
find
that
the
Bridegroom,
who
had
only
given
her
temporary
peace
because
of
her
weakness,
comes
with
yet
greater
violence
to
tear
off
her
clothing
from
her.
Alas,
poor
bride
!
what
wilt
thou
do
now
?
This
is
far
worse
than
before,
for
these
garments
are
necessary
to
her,
and
it
is
contrary
to
all
propriety
to
suffer
herself
to
be
stripped
of
them.
Oh
!
it
is
now
that
she
makes
all
the
resistance
in
her
power.
She
brings
forward
all
the
reasons
why
her
Bridegroom
should
not
thus
leave
her
naked
:
she
tells
Him
that
it
will
bring
reproach
upon
Him-self.
"
Alas
!
"
she
cries,
"
I
have
lost
all
the
virtues
which
Thou
hast
bestowed
upon
me.
Thy
gifts,
the
sweetness
of
Thy
love
!
But
still
I
was
able
to
make
an
outward
profession
of
virtue
;
I
engaged
in
works
of
charity
;
I
prayed
assiduously,
even
though
I
was
deprived
of
Thy
sensible
benefits
:
but
I
can-not
consent
to
lose
all
this.
I
was
still
clothed
