Venus and Adonis
Even as the sun with purple-colour'd face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheek'd Adonis tried him to the chase;
Hunting he lov'd, but love he laugh'd to scorn;
Sick-thoughted Venus makes amain unto him,
And like a bold-fac'd suitor 'gins to woo him.
'Thrice fairer than myself,' thus she began,
'The field's chief flower, sweet above compare,
Stain to all nymphs, more lovely than a man,
More white and red than doves or roses are;
Nature that made thee, with herself at strife,

This Prince (his father by Pausanias slain)

His education much to those did adde:
By art and nature both he was made fit,
To 'complish that which long before was writ.
The very day of his Nativity
To ground was burnt Dianaes Temple high:
An Omen to their near approaching woe,
Whose glory to the earth this king did throw.
His Rule to Greece he scorn'd should be confin'd,
The Universe scarce bound his proud vast mind.
This is the He-Goat which from Grecia came,
That ran in Choler on the Persian Ram,
That brake his horns, that threw him on the ground
To save him from his might no man was found:

fail to hear the pleas and cries
of His poorest suffering creatures?

Socrates
In ancient Greece lived Socrates
'Philosopher', and 'Man of Ethics'
Despite poor Crito’s desperate pleas
Soc Hemlocked to stop his dialectics

God knows what is best for us
in your prayer
he says
make your pleas
and requests
be general
and original
he knows what in
particular is best
so please do not
be a dictator

The smile with the sword
With smile, you can succeed.
With pleas, you can succeed.
With sword, you can command.
With smile and sword at hand,
You can walk well beyond.
