Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| Me too she doubtless read For with her hand | A |
| Raised as for help and pointing to a chair | B |
| She bade me with a gesture part command | A |
| And part entreaty I would set her there | B |
| She could not see she said the Queen of Love | C |
| My eyes so coveted and laughed and laid | D |
| Upon my lips the fingers of her glove | C |
| When I protested at the words she said | E |
| I hardly know how it all came about | F |
| But did her bidding as she would and she | G |
| From her new vantage bore the humour out | F |
| And mocked the more at each new mockery | G |
| And still she held my arm and I her dress | H |
| Lest she should fall '' she said in waywardness | H |
