The Pot of Gold


FOR EXTRA CREDIT, DUE BY FRIDAY, MAY 4 at 12:30 p.m.

From what Bible verse do these words come:

Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.

From which Shakespeare play do these words come:

Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,

To throw a perfume on the violet,

To smooth the ice, or add another hue

Unto the
rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,

Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
