| That digged the Ruby from the earth | B |
| More cunning brains that made it worth | B |
| The large desire of a king | C |
| And stouter hearts that through the brine | A |
| Went down the perfect Pearl to bring | C |

| Lo I have wrought in common clay | D |
| Rude figures of a rough hewn race | E |
| Since pearls strew not the market place | E |
| In this my town of banishment | F |
| Where with the shifting dust I play | D |
| And eat the bread of discontent | G |
| - | |
| Yet is there life in that I make | H |
| thou who knowest turn and see | I |
| As thou hast power over me | I |
| So have I power over these | J |
| Because I wrought them for thy sake | H |
| And breathed in them mine agonies | J |
| - | |
| Small mirth was in the making now | K |
| I lift the cloth that cloaks the clay | D |
| And wearied at thy feet I lay | D |
| My wares ere I go forth to sell | L |
| The long bazaar will praise but thou | K |
| Heart of my heart have I done well | L |
