| Contends her ms nature to excell | A |
| The slender needles in that hand create | B |
| Such forms as hers but of a better date | B |
| The silk is placd the winding traces laid | C |
| the gay scene with rising figures spread | D |
| here springing lillies opening roses dress | E |
| in such sweet colours so fixd a grace | F |
| they outdoe all but those wthin her face | F |
| the well turnd leaves if by the natrall shown | G |
| You'd think they both were workd or both had grown | G |

| In how the ugly live how the fair | I |
| tell me Celie where the diffrence lyes | F |
| 'twixt those who Cant those who wont possess | F |
| When both alike are distanc't fm their bliss | F |
