Today's Stichomancy for Steve Martin

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

SUFFOLK. Lady, wherefore talk you so?

MARGARET. I cry you mercy, 'tis but Quid for Quo.

SUFFOLK. Say, gentle princess, would you not suppose Your bondage happy, to be made a queen?

MARGARET. To be a queen in bondage is more vile Than is a slave in base servility; For princes should be free.
