"This fortress built by Nature for herself

Against infection and the hand of ewar;

This happy breed of men this little world,

This precious stone set in the 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"
