| Though nobly born so humbly calm she dwells | G |
| So bright her intellect so pure her mind | A |
| The blossom and its bloom in her we find | A |
| With pensive look her heart with mirth rebels | H |
| Thus by her planets' union she excels | G |

| There honour worth and fortitude combined | A |
| Which to the bard inspired his hope dispels | G |

| Her daily virtues blend with native grace | J |
| Her noiseless movements speak though she is mute | A |
| Such power her eyes they can the day obscure | I |
| Illume the night the honey's sweetness chase | J |
| And wake its stream where gall doth oft pollute | A |
