Rose-breasted Grosbeak and a little drop of Shakespeare that we had to memorize at Putnam Catholic Academy . . .


 Quote:  The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath; it is twice blessed; it blesseth him that gives and him that takes: 'tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes the throned monarch better than his crown.  Mercy is an attribute to God himself; and earthly power doth then show likest God's, when mercy seasons justice. Consider this --that, in the course of justice, none of us should see salvation: we do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy. ________Shakespeare
