You see me, Lord Bassanio, where I stand, Such as I am: though for myself alone
I would not be ambitious in my wish, To wish myself much better; yet, for you
I would be trebled twenty times myself; A thousand times more fair, ten thousand times more rich;
That only to stand high in your account, I might in virtue, beauties, livings, friends,
Exceed account; but the full sum of me Is sum of something, which, to term in gross,
Is an unlesson’d girl, unschool’d, unpractised;
Happy in this, she is not yet so old, But she may learn; happier than this,
She is not bred so dull but she can learn; Happiest of all is that her gentle spirit
Commits itself to yours to be directed, As from her lord, her governor, her king.
Myself and what is mine to you and yours Is now converted: but now I was the lord
Of this fair mansion, master of my servants, Queen o’er myself: and even now, but now,
This house, these servants and this same myself Are yours, my lord:
I give them with this ring; Which when you part from, lose, or give away,
Let it presage the ruin of your love And be my vantage to exclaim on you.

John Birch developed an interesting method of raising money for charity! He embarked on a home-made retreat that included renunciation and self-sacrifice for a charitable cause. He restricted his environment by reducing general distractions and cutting out modern comforts and necessities, such as food, electricity, and contact with friends. With these indulgent pastimes out of the way, John went into solitary confinement in his home to raise awareness for the plight of the fast diminishing Amazonian rainforest. His retreat also had the added advantage that John could put the money that he saved during this time towards a cause that helps the world's largest endangered rainforest and the people that are dependent upon it.In 1386 Marguerite de Carrouges watched a duel to the death that would decide her fate. She had accused Sir Jacques ld Gris of rape. A trial by combat riveted the French nobility as Le Gris was pitted against Marguerite’s husband and champion Sir Jean de Carrouges. If he was killed, she would be declared a false accuser and burned alive. She has largely been accused of mistaken identity or of lies. Her report is filed in the Parlement of Paris. The defendant had an alibi and was offered a chance to defend himself in court. The Court preferred his story but failed to reach a verdict so the duel was authorised under the ancient theory that God would reveal the truth on the battlefield.
