| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: Depriu'd thee of. Hold off the earth a while,

"I don't know," he replied, smiling at her. "Who are you, my dear?"
"My name is Ozma," she said; "and your name is Roquat."
"Oh, is it?" he replied, seeming pleased.
"Yes; you are King of the Nomes," she said.
"Ah; I wonder what the Nomes are!" returned the King, as if puzzled.
