Meanwhile the Queen believing Snow White to be dead, was quite happy in the thought that she herself was the most beautiful lady in the land. It was some time before she bothered to ask the magic mirror the usual question.

When she did stand before the mirror and said,
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Among the ladies in this land,
Who is the fairest of them all?"

She could not believe her ears when she heard this reply,
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 little house far over the hill;
And though thou, O Queen,
art certainly fair,
This child's great beauty doth
make her more fair."

Then great was the anger of the Queen. She knew that as the mirror never lied, her huntsman must have deceived her.
