If there exist between The prince and queen some secret understandings, They are of other import, rest assured, Than those they charge her with. I know, for certain, The prince's prayer to be despatched to Flanders Was by the queen suggested. (KING: I have thought so.) The queen's ambitious. Dare I speak more fully?

I doubt if she can love.
