Identify the follwing quote.

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Of course, Karrow remembers this. Not the words or the play, but Richard himself. (Notice how she even remembered the Act and scene. What a memory, after all these years!) Brava, Karrow !

Shameful, DG! Karrow should be applauded for her switch from middle to modern english at mid-life.
