Mirror, mirror on the wall
Among the ladies in this land,
Who is the fairest of all?
Mirror: Among the grown-up ladies tall,
Thou, O Queen, art exceedingly fair,
But the truth I must speak
And this I do swear,
Snow White is not dead but living still,
In a lovely house far over the hill;
And though you, O Queen,
Art certainly fair,
This child's beauty doth
Make her more fair.

In a lovely house far over the hill;

This child's beauty doth
Make her more fair.
