Corruption wins not more than honesty.
Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace"

As justice, verity, temperance, stableness,
Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness,

“They may seize
0n the white wonder of dear Juliet’s hand
And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who, even in pure and vestal modesty,
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.”

Morning birders. Today's is our most populous water fowl: the Mallard. And as it's here's Pericles (Act 3):

...the grisled north
Disgorges such a tempest forth,
That, as a duck for life that dives,
So up and down the poor ship drives.

A from the Sphinx,
What looks on tempests and is never shaken?
What is the star to every wand'ring bark?
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Titania: 'I'll give thee fairies to attend on thee
And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep
And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep
And I will purge thy mortal grossness so
That thou shalt like an airy spirit go. (art Edith Nesbit, 1896)

'Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves, when he did sing:
To his music, plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.'

Of Nature's gifts thou mayst with lilies boast,
And with the half-blown rose.”
