Power of Praise
August 12th, 2008 — tonymayo
I prithee tell me;
cram us with praise, and make us
As fat as tame things.
One good deed dying tongueless
Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that.
Your praises are our wages.
You may ride us
With one soft kiss a thousand furlongs ere
With spur we heat an acre.
–Queen Hermione in
Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale
