With deep respect, esteemed young lady, your most humble servant

Now a few more pages:
Es liebt Vortreffliches sich zu verstecken
That which is choicest loves to lie concealed,
And many a woman’s heart even to this day
Still hides within it an America
Which could by a Columbus be revealed.
Friedrich Halm
