heeeeee I love this!
The King thereupon desir' d to see her, and she came into his Presence in the Amazonian Habit, which was her favourite Dress. The King thought she resembled him very much, and not being able to resist the tender Impressions of Nature he embrac'd her, and callid her his Daughter.
