My lord finds it enchanting to be the first?
Prince
It is the only enchantment. If you were a real man, you would know that, Phedro, but if you were really a man I could not confide in you.

Prince [in a mood of reverie]
That passion yearns for surprises—and love hankers after peace.
Phedro
And in your marriage, my lord?
