The changed voice, the suffusion of the cheek,

The eye's acceptance, the expressive hand,

—Reward, that 's little, in her generous thought,

Though all to me ...

I cannot so disclaim

Heaven's gift, nor call it other than it is!

She loves me!

[Looking at the Prince's papers.]—Which love, these, perchance, forbid.

Can I decide against myself—pronounce

She is the Duchess and no mate for me?
