In peace, there’s nothing so becomes a man,
As modest stillness, and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the Tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, commune vp the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favor’d rage
— King Henry, Henry V, 3.1

Now entertain conjecture of a time,
When creeping murmur and the poring dark
Fills the wide vessel of the universe.
— Chorus, Henry V, 4.0

I am afear’d, there are few die well, that die in a battle: for how can they charitably dispose of anything, when blood is their argument?
