    • 1974, Philip Freund, “Charles IV”, in More Off-Broadway Plays, page 34:
      No, my prince. It's less than truthful. There are princes among men. There're men endowed with a special quality. It’s a quality for which they are loved—it may be by those who scarcely know them. As you were loved in Navarre.
