| Just a prim blonde stranger | A |
| In her early day | I |
| Hiding brilliant weapons | J |

| Stately are her wiles | S |
| Filling oafs with wisdom | T |
| Saving souls with smiles | S |

| She will pause and glow | Q |
| Though the film is twitching | O |
| Keep a peaceful reign | V |
| Ruler of her passion | W |
| Ruler of our pain | V |
