This first of all English love songs deserves to rank with Valentine's description of Silvia: Why, man, she is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar and the rocks pure gold. Two Gentlemen of Verona, II, 4. See The History of Language, p. 103.
Add to this, that the question which we had now to discuss with France was a totally new question.
