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;

Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England..." From John of Gaunt's monologue in Shakespeare's "Life & Death of King Richard II", Act II, Scene II
