| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare: If Fortune bring you this way back again,
Pray let me see you: so I take my leave;
All good a man can wish, I do bequeath.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare: In haste, post-haste, are come to join with you;

take their place; but boiled cucumbers are nasty things,
and I don't see why marrows should not do here perfectly well.
These, and primrose-roots, are the English contributions to my garden.
I brought over the roots in a tin box last time I came from England,
and am anxious to see whether they will consent to live here.
Certain it is that they don't exist in the Fatherland, so I can
