Today's Stichomancy for Ayn Rand

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare:

Iden, kneel down. [He kneels.] Rise up a knight. We give thee for reward a thousand marks, And will that thou thenceforth attend on us.

IDEN. May Iden live to merit such a bounty, And never live but true unto his liege!

[Rises.]

[Enter QUEEN and SOMERSET.]

KING. See, Buckingham, Somerset comes with the queen. Go, bid her hide him quickly from the duke.
