Designed after an exquisite English band sampler. The verse is:

Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain
but a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised
Give her the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates
Delight thou in the Lord and He shall give thee thy hearts desire
