So quiet is her gown so smooth her hair | B |
That few there are who note her and agree | A |
She's passing fair | B |

Yet when was ever beauty held more rare | B |
Than simple heart and maiden modesty | A |
What fostered charms with virtue could compare | B |

Alas no lover ever stops to see | A |
The best that she is offered is the air | B |
Yet if the passing mark is minus D | A |
She's passing fair | B |
