Ancient Palladins, I know, were bound to maintain constancy, tho' they travelled all over the World ; but no Act of the Parliament of Love was ever passed enjoining fidelity to Knights, when it was their Ladies that took to travelling. Indeed, if y r Ladyship had made a vow to wander till you had obliged every fair Dame in Europe to confess how much handsomer I am than their lovers, something might be said, but as you have sent no conquered Amazon to kiss my hand and acknowledge my claim, I am ...not bound to believe that you are travel- ling to assert my Glory; & therefore regarding you as a truant, I have thrown my handkerchief to another Lady, & declare by these presents that I renounce your Ladyship's allegiance. It will be in vain to mount your milk-white palfrey & amble home directly ; the die is cast — & Heaven knows whether Matrimony itself may not ensue. I shall always retain a sincere friendship for you, but really there was no end of having one's heart jolted about from one country to another, & of having it lugged once a year to Vienna.
