The King of Anqing raced on horse to Beijing town;
he'd acquiesced and told his new miss she's princess bound.
His intelligence waned, his third leg claimed,common sense?
Not blessed and unwise, he road on his quest in her defence.
The gem in the jewel box she'd taken condemned her.
"Arms length," the court cried "Show a King's strength, sir!"
But, deceit had been plied with sighs in retreat now.
To school went men, paupers or Kings, for Jewel Chunhau
this sprite, his flower, had gone with morning's light snow.
