This evening, I went to see Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." In it, Claudio says,

"...for beauty is a witch/Against whose charms faith melteth into blood."

For some reason, it seemed fitting for me to quote such a line from an aptly titled play somewhere in the queen threads.

Let us not let an Evonian beauty's charms melt our good faith into blood. But too, let us have it said about us that we show good husbandry for the Evonian state, fight dragon-like, and achieve as soon as we've drawn our swords, as Aufidius suggests in Coriolanus.

And thanks again to MoriEndi for starting a thread for me!
