Looks up to silk and lace,

Helen looks down at rags, her fluttering pride

Caught in this cage of glass,

Eager to trudge, thieve, beg by the road-side,

Or starving to eat grass ...

Silence. Wrath dies. For Woman's old good name

Each swears a sister's oath;

Weeping, they kiss; to the Squire's lasting shame,

Who broke the heart in both.
