Seventeen — and knew eight languages — in music 



Peerless — her needle perfect, and her learning 



Beyond the Churchmen ; vet so meek, so modest 



So wife-like humble to the trivial Boy 



Mismatched with her for policy ! I have heard 



She would not take a last farewell of him 



She fear'd it might unman him for his end. 



She could not be unmann'd — no, nor outwoman'd —

Girl never breathed to rival such a rose. 



Rose never blew that equall'd such a bud.
