I had not thought that I would meet you here,

For when the King is far there’s double need

Among the stiff-necked provinces for watchers.

What was it then that drove you from your post?

’Twas sure some other impulse than the wish

To prove me that it might unjeopardised

Lie tenantless; or thought’s instinctive feel

That a flung stone was here to intercept.

Soemus.

I was come here to advertise the viceroy
