    Orchards Smiling through departed leaves, Like diamond sapphires in evening sun Hang ripening fruit and from the eaves Grey sparrows make unending run, Oh happy land, Bless thy fertile soil, Oh happy people born to work and prayer, With God to guide and strength to toil, With heart and help goes will and power.


    Why, friends, you go to do you know not what Wherein hath Caesar thus deserved your loves Alas, you know not I must tell you then You have forgot the will I told you of. .... Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. To every Roman citizen he gives, To every several man, seventy-five drachmas. ....

And it is I who empowered these moist espousals, I the great Aphrodite.
