Yet to me Love has such honour sent
Since my heart's firmer truer in its ways
Than any other man; and if it seldom says

And her fine and noble manners as well,
Her gaiety, and fair speech, miraculous,
Who she is to those who are
connoisseurs!

discovers
in their looks any strong indications of pity, abhorrence, or any other emotion of the mind;- though he should not be near enough to hear a single word, he immediately discovers that the cause is managed by a real orator, who is either performing, or has already played his part to good purpose.
