Lady Isabella.
Heart warm as Summer, fresh as Spring,Gracious as Autumn's harvesting,
Pure as the Winter snows; as white
141
Eyes glorious as a midnight star;
Hair shining as the chestnuts are;
A step firm and majestical;
A voice singing and musical;
A soft expression, kind address;
Tears for another's heaviness;
Bright looks; an action full of grace;
A perfect form, a perfect face;
All these become a woman well,
And these had Lady Isabelle.
