Elvire: because she knows, now she has stood the test,

How, this and this being good, herself may still be best

O' the beauty in review; because the flesh that claimed

Unduly my regard, she thought, the taste, she blamed

In me, for things externe, was all mistake, she finds,—

Or will find, when I prove that bodies show me minds,

That, through the outward sign, the inward grace allures,

And sparks from heaven transpierce earth's coarsest covertures,

All by demonstrating-the value of Fifine!
