Supposed that your revolt stood on two legs,

Over-taxation and the hate of Hugo;

And had its claim for justice countenanced

By Manuel’s voice: but coming here, I find

That he and Hugo’s daughter are betrothed.

Now here’s a private matter, which, I take it,

Involves the public. Say, doth Manuel play

His policy on Hugo, or hath Hugo

Trumped up a match with Manuel to support

His failing credit?
