    “My heart’s subdued
    Even to the very quality of my lord.

    And to his honors and his valiant parts
    Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The sire then shook the honors of his head,
    And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
    Full on the filial dullness:”
