And my heart is still aglow.
How do I know the endless life

Shakespeare on mercy (From the Merchant of Venice)

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
’Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better
