Drest in that dress, and how he loved her in it,
And all her foolish fears about the dress,
And all his journey toward her, as himself 845
Had told her, and their coming to the court.
And now this morning when he said to her,
“Put on your worst and meanest dress,” she found
And took it, and array’d herself therein.

WELLINGTON.
