E v'ry grace in her combine,

L ove and truth and friendship join,
I n one source without reserve,

Z ealous all her friends to serve,
A nd diffuse true harmony.

U nsullied as the vernal rose.

G ay --

yet serene,

H andsome, with a graceful mien;

E v'ry charm in her appear,
S he is lovely, chaste and fair.
