Fingers - to frame my Round Hair Oval - as Feudal Ladies wore - Far Fashions - Fair - Skill to hold my Brow like an Earl - Plead - like a Whippowil - Prove - like a Pearl - Then, for Character -
Fashion My Spirit quaint - white - Quick - like a Liquor - Gay - like Light - Bring Me my best Pride - No more ashamed - No more to hide - Meek - let it be - too proud - for Pride - Baptized - this Day - a Bride.
