This is my decree. The bodies of those who died well and bravely by my side shall be delivered to the City of the Dead. Fine linen... and armor shall be their burial garments. They shall rest in tombs of stone, and, for their comfort in the second life, they shall have ample treasure. To each man, three measures of gold and nine measures of silver; one vessel each of onyx and alabaster; food and wine in plenty. All this and all honor shall each man enjoy in the second life. There we shall meet again, to stand side by side and serve. 'Til then, farewell. The gods of Egypt have spoken.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier,... Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire: I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moones sphere; And I serve the fairy queen, To dew her orbs upon the green. The cowslips tall her pensioners be; In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies, fairy favours, In those freckles live their savours.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

...I prefer not to have among my guests two people or more, of any sex, who are in the first wild tremours of love. It is better t...o invite them after their new passion has settled, has solidified into a quieter reciprocity of emotions. (It is also a waste of good food, to serve it to new lovers.)LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Such was life in the Golden Gate: Gold dusted all we drank and ate,... And I was one of the children told, "We all must eat our peck of gold."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We mustn't touch them yet, but see and see! And what was green would by and by be gold.... Their name was called the Gold Hesperidee.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
