A literary riddle.
The proponent writes a small part of the poem, play or prose text and the other players must guess. Of course the text has to be in English, and the original preferably in English too. The winner proposes the next riddle, and so on.
I`m starting with:
"The quality of mercy is not strained.
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.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown."
Who wrote this and what text is this?
Good luck!
