    Think not the good,
    The gentle deeds of mercy thou hast done,
    Shall die forgotten all; the poor, the prisoner,
    The fatherless, the friendless, and the widow,
    Who daily owe the bounty of thy hand,
    Shall cry to Heaven, and pull a blessing on thee.

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 mightiest; it becomes
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 scept'red 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.
