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 a 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"


-SHAKESPEARE (Richard II)
Thanks AB for laying it out like that. Why can't we do it like that? Every time I try and do an answer in a specific format, all the spaces just get got rid of.
You have to put in HTML line breaks - I keep forgetting. Very useful info at http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/basics.html
