If only the below was true...
The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath; it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes
'Tis mightiest in the mighties'; it bcomes the throned monarch better than his crown
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,the attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; but mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings; it is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's. When mercy seasons justice.
