Proud daughter of a princely line,

The rights of consort queen are thine.

How art thou, born of royal race,

Blind to the crimes that kings debase?

Thy lord is gracious, to deceive,

And flatters, but thy soul to grieve,

While thy pure heart that thinks no sin

Knows not the snares that hem thee in.

Thy husband's lips on thee bestow

Soft soothing word, an empty show:
