The Tartar Ivan, my chamberlain, loves Zuleima, and she shall be his wife if your majesty consents." "By all means," said Frederick; "but I fear it will be difficult to have this marriage solemnized in Berlin. Your Tartar, I believe, has the honor to be heathen." "Sire, he is, in faith, a Persian."

"I knew without your telling me," she said, "that he no longer loved you, and great wonder it is, considering your age, that he ever could."
