Set in Silver

Audrie
With all admiration we dedicate our story of a tour in the land he loves
... this little world,
This precious stone, set in the silver sea
That serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
