Here's one, from The Merchant of Venice
PORTIA. : The quality of mercy is not strain'd; : 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 sceptred 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. Therefore, Jew, : Though justice be thy plea, consider this, : That in the course of justice none of us : Should see salvation; we do pray for mercy, : And that same prayer doth teach us all to render : The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much : To mitigate the justice of thy plea, : Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice : Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.
