"My Prince and my King!" said she. And Deodonato shot to his feet, and before them all he kissed her, and, turning, spoke: "As I have wooed, let every man in this Duchy woo. As I have won, let every man that is worthy win. For, unless he so woo, and unless he so win, vain is his wooing, and vain is his winning, and a fig for his wedding, say I, Deodonato!
