The country of Ghana was previously known as the Gold Coast.
Today's Question:
From which Shakespearean play does this patriotic panegyric come? "This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle/ This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars/ This other Eden, demi-paradise.../ This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England."
I don't know this one.
