- Ferdinand says that he has liked many women and had been consciously looking for someone who really has everything that he wants but he fails to find that one particular women.
- By 'diligent' in the line "Brought my too diligent ear", Ferdinand means to say that he had been looking for that someone consciously and carefully. And it seems like Miranda is that women who he has been looking for.
