A queen is she
However tiny a being be
A being, majestic
However tiny a queen be

Not in a royal couch
Was she, had no maids of honour,
On a bent down branch
Of a jack tree was she sitting, strange

Is there a foe
To fight and prowess show ?
Against this queen
A marvellous creature, in no less sheen
