Madam, you have bereft me of all words.
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
And there is such confusion in my powers

By a beloved prince, there doth appear
Among the buzzing pleased multitude,
Where every something being blent together
Turns to a wild of nothing, save of joy
Expressed and not expressed.
