Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF GGHHIIJJKLAAMNOO| LADY thy lofty brow is fair | A |
| Beauty's sign and seal are there | A |
| And thy lip is like the rose | B |
| Closing round the bee's repose | B |
| And thine eye is like a star | C |
| But blue as the sapphires' are | C |
| Beautiful patrician thou | D |
| Wearest on thy stately brow | D |
| All that suits a noble race | E |
| All of high born maiden's grace | E |
| Who is there could look on thee | F |
| And doubt thy nobility | F |
| - | |
| Round thee satin robe is flung | G |
| Pearls upon thy neck are hung | G |
| And upon thy arm of snow | H |
| Rubies like red sun gifts glow | H |
| Yet thou wearest pearl and gem | I |
| As thou hadst forgotten them | I |
| 'Tis a step but made to tread | J |
| O'er Persian web or flower's head | J |
| Soft hand that might only move | K |
| In the broider'd silken glove | L |
| Cheek unused to ruder air | A |
| Than what hot house rose might bear | A |
| One whom nature only meant | M |
| To be queen of the tournament | N |
| Courtly fete and lighted hall | O |
| Grace and ornament of all | O |
