Next mummery over first: and so the edge

Was taken off sharp tidings as they came,

Till here 's the Prince upon us, and there 's she

—Wreathing her hair, a song between her lips,

With just the faintest notion possible

That some such claimant earns a livelihood

About the world, by feigning grievances—

Few pay the story of, but grudge its price,

And fewer listen to, a second time.

Your method proves a failure; now try mine!
