An order from her Majesty consigned

Our young Lieutenant to the genial care

Of those in office: all the world looked kind,

(As it will look sometimes with the first stare,

Which Youth would not act ill to keep in mind,)

As also did Miss Protasoff  ⁴⁹ then there,  ⁵⁰ Named from her mystic office "l'Eprouveuse,"

A term inexplicable to the Muse.
