THIS BOOK IS FOR CHARLES AND MARSHA BROWN


They that have power to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold and to temptation slow;
They rightly do inherit heavenтАЩs graces
 And husband natureтАЩs riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others but stewards of their excellence.
The summerтАЩs flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
SONNET XCIV
William Shakespeare
