Year 4, March on a quotation from Shakespeare's King John Act 4 Sc i:

                        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.
