Seet ya!

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:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.

Re: Patois Contest - Good Friday Activity

Bandido dat too lang

Here is something short and sweet to tackle


Jerk is a hot, spicy uniquely Jamaican seasoning which has been developed over centuries. Traditional jerking is a method of cooking highly spiced meat outdoors, slowly over a pimento wood fire. As this method is difficult to recreate at home, Mr Smith has developed his very own renowned line of Jerk seasonings to capture this unforgettable flavor. Jerk cooking is fast becoming more & more popular worldwide.
