Tsar'-devitsa again

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

Ivan Tsarevich is overwhelmed by the beautyof the sleeping Marya-Krasa,
Dolga Kosa.  And so

“Что мне не честь!” разгорелось у молодца ретивое сердце.

Is he saying ‘What does my honour matter to me?’  I cannot make sense of his
words grammatically. Also, I would have thought it was more a matter of HER
rather than HIS honour being sullied!

All the best,

Robert
