'An Fate some person 'stablish o'er thy head, * And thou being worthier her choice upbraid, Yet do him honour due to his estate; * He'll bring thee weal though far or near thou vade: Nor speak thy thought of him, else shalt thou be * Of those who self degrade from honour's grade: Many Harims are lovelier than the Bride, * But Time and Fortune lent the Bride their aid."
I asked him his business, and not a word but gibberish will he let out of him. But he's brought no papers nor parcels at all, and sorra peep will I let him have of your honour's room.

"I beg your honour's pardon few words tell best for a man, deeds being his duty but, if your honour will have the condescension just to issue your orders, the manner in which they shall be obeyed will tell the whole story."

"Ah, may well say that," replied the Corporal, exceedingly flattered with the permission he had obtained, "and any thing my poor wit can suggest, quite at your honour's sarvice ehem! hem!
