| Outside whose gilded gate there died | B |

| With but his shadow at his side | B |

| I do not know his Lady fair | D |
| Who in a bath of milk doth lie | E |

| Three pounds of flesh wrapped in her shawl | H |

| Fed by the poorest of the poor | G |
| Since I have seen that child alone | K |
| Crying against a bolted door | L |
