The Cybersybils Present Vol. IV, Chap. 4: Fournarinas

Justice by Fiore, 1421

KOMRADE

Midwest attorney by light of Day,
Middle Eastern scholar by Night;
proficient in tales of Saracen lore,
a true daughter of Ibn Hazm, whose
The Dove's Neck Ring is a source
of courtly love poems for Troubadors.

This Komrade true was born beneath
the sign of most heavenly Capricorn,
ruled by Saturn, Source of Measure,
and also known as Father Time;
thus alchemists of old begat to him
the Tree of Philosophy, whose sturdy
trunk is Justice, and whose flower may
be found in this companion's every deed.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

William Shakespeare
The Merchant Of Venice Act 4, scene 1
