One large gold bracelet clasped each lovely arm,

Lockless⁠—so pliable from the pure gold

That the hand stretched and shut it without harm,

The limb which it adorned its only mould;

So beautiful⁠—its very shape would charm,

And clinging, as if loath to lose its hold,

The purest ore enclosed the whitest skin

That e’er by precious metal was held in.
