You saw and heard this morning—thought, no doubt,

Was of considerable standing here:

I put it to your penetration, Prince,

If aught save love, the truest love for her

Could make him serve the lady as he did!

He 's simply a poor advocate of Cleves

—Creeps here with difficulty, finds a place

With danger, gets in by a miracle,

And for the first time meets the lady's face—

So runs the story: is that credible?
