Beauteous her face, beauteous her mind:

Yet something dreadful in her eyes I saw

Which ever kept my falt'ring tongue in awe,

And gave my panting soul a law.

50So have I seen a modest beggar stand,

Worn out with age and being oft denied,

On his heart he laid his hand;

And though he look'd as if he would have died

The needy wretch no alms did crave:

He durst not ask for what he fear'd he should not have.
