The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pericles by William Shakespeare: And which, without desert, because thine eye
Presumes to reach, all thy whole heap must die.

And with dead cheeks advise thee to desist
For going on death's net, whom none resist.

Antiochus, I thank thee, who hath taught
