Oh gladden now, with glorious wealth,

Ever increasing, thine eye and heart!

For beautiful chains, the adornment of crowns,

Are priding themselves, in haughty repose;

But step thou in, and challenge them all,

They arm themselves straight;

I joy to see beauty contend for the prize,

With gold, and with pearls, and with jewels of price.
