She seems, when mixed, to be gold,
As if when she clapped her hands, she was
Crowned with silver and pearls.
Gold adorned with pearls and gems -

Her mother has borne sisters for her—
Her sisters, comparison to her, their mother birthed
Bubbles, some yellow and some red.
Falling short, yellow and red
