Read the excerpt from a play.
from King Richard II
The royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars.
This other Eden, demi-paradise:
This fortress, built by Nature for herself:
Against infection, and the hand of war

Against the envy of less happier lands:
10
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
(from King Richard II by William Shakespeare)
