She bettereth the cypress tree in stature;

Her musky tresses form a sable crown;
Her parts and knowledge pass her loveliness,
While wisdom standeth as a slave before her.

Original?

@SatyrService No, it's from the story of Farangis. Prince Siyawush of Iran left his father's palace and sought refuge in the court of Afrasiyab where Princess Farangis Piran dwelled. The quote is about her.
