     String burns = "My love is like a red, red rose.";

     . . . . . .

     if ( burns.toLower().startsWith( "  MY LOVE".trim().toLower() ) )
         System.out.println( "Both start with the same letters." ); 
     else
         System.out.println( "Prefix fails." );

Answer:

Both start with the same letters.

" MY LOVE".trim().toLowerCase() creates the temporary string "my love" .

"burns.toLower() creates the temporary string "my love is like a red, red rose."

Both strings start out the same.
