Lame I am not, neither crooked,

Nothing in my body’s wrong;

Locks like lilies, when I stand up,

Sweep the ground, they are so long.

Though my mouth is like an eagle’s,

And a little flat my nose,

With my topaz teeth,—of beauty

I’ve enough for Heaven, with those.

And my voice is, if you listen,

Equal to the best, I trow;
