Jon's parents' house; Suffolk, England / photo by Ellie, my sister-in-law
And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
Henry V, William Shakespeare

Once more unto the breach, dear friends!
ReplyDeleteMY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE!
ReplyDeletewait, wrong play... hehe :P
Amen!
ReplyDeleteO! for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention!
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene.
