Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words,—

Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,—

Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Henry V. Act iv. Sc. 3.

I saw young Harry, with his beaver on,

His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly arm'd,

Rise from the ground like feather'd Mercury,

And vaulted with such ease into his seat

As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds,

To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus

And witch the world with noble horsemanship.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Henry IV. Part I. Act iv. Sc. 1.
