What does Joao want to say?

------------------------------------------------
Joao,The pictures I do not miss on social media are those of people eating at 
restaurants. Until yesterday, it seemed that everyone had to take and post a 
picture of food that they were served at a restaurant - before they started 
eating. They also had to report that they were at the airport - before they got 
on a flight. The "crown" virus has changed all that. 

Your original work, above, reminded me of a verse we were forced to study in 
school yesterdecade. It goes like this:


And in the visitation of the winds,Who take the ruffian billows by the 
top,Curling their monstrous heads and hanging themWith deafening clamour in the 
slippery clouds,That, with the hurly, death itself awakes?Canst thou, O partial 
sleep, give thy reposeTo the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude,And in the calmest 
and most stillest night,With all appliances and means to boot,Deny it to a 
king? Then happy low, lie down!Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.


Mervyn
