Today's Stichomancy for Ice Cube

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare:

Sir Ralph Sadler, pray, a word with you: You were my man, and all that you possess Came by my means; to requite all this, Will you take this letter here of me, And give it with your own hands to the king?

SADLER. I kiss your hand, and never will I rest, Ere to the king this will be delivered.

[Exit Sadler.]

CROMWELL. Why yet Cromwell hath one friend in store.
