With soul celestial, gracious, good, and kind,

And all-accomplished, all-complying mind.

THE rumour of her worth spread far and wide,

The king of Garba asked her for his bride,

And Mamolin (the sov'reign of the spot,)

To other princes had a pref'rence got.

THE fair, howe'er, already felt the smart

Of Cupid's arrow, and had lost her heart;

But 'twas not known: princesses love conceal,

And scarcely dare its whispers fond reveal;
