    princess of yore.
    Were not to be compared to the fair one I love and adore
    That brave gallant Paris who treacherously Achilles slew.
    Hector, Pyramus, bold Ajax and Hercules too.
    With numberless heroes whose names I pass silently o'er
    Would be captivated by the fair one I love and adore
    Sad, sad is my fate should she my entreaties disdain
    For here I'll bemoan and condone in grief sorrow and pain
    In some lonely retreat, perpetually I will deplore
    For that lovely fair maid, she's the fair one I love and adore.
