MEEKNESS, n. Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth
while.

M is for Moses,
Who slew the Egyptian.
As sweet as a rose is
The meekness of Moses.
No monument shows his
Post-mortem inscription,
But M is for Moses
Who slew the Egyptian.
_The Biographical Alphabet_
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
