And with a sister's care she blends

A mother's love, a wife's, a friend's.

In spite of all her tender care,

Her noble son, her face most fair,

Another queen I could prefer

And for thy sake neglected her,

But now, O Queen, my heart is grieved

For love and care by thee received,

E'en as the sickening wretch repents

His dainty meal and condiments.
