She whirls in no mad dances dervishly,

Nor with incantatory crooning charms

Her hapless slaves, who yet would not be free

While with a conq’ring smile she soothes, disarms,

Born of some slight neglect, their fears, doubts and alarms.

She has no wand nor needs one. Her demesne

Is ev’ry drawing-room. A slender chair

Be-carved and gilt, her throne that any queen

Might wish to sit upon. About her there

They crowd, the subjects of this guileless fair,
