Shakespeare - Henry V Quotes, Famous Henry V Quotes Quotations
O
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. Henry V, Prologue
Can
this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt? Henry V, Prologue
Consideration
like an angel came,
And whipped the offending Adam out of him. Henry V, 1. 1

he speaks,

noble English! that could entertain
With half their forces the full pride of France,
And let another half stand laughing by,
All out of work, and cold for action. Henry V, I. 2

As is the owse and bottom of the sea
With sunken wrack and sumless treasuries. Henry V, I. 2
For
so work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
They have a king and officers of sorts;
Where some, like magistrates, correct at home,
Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad,
Others, like soldiers, armèd in their stings,
Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds;
Which pillage they with merry march bring home
To the tent-royal of their emperor:
Who, busied in his majesty, surveys
The singing masons building roofs of gold,
The civil citizens kneading up the honey,
The poor mechanic porters crowding in
Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,
The sad-eyed justice, with his surly hum,
Delivering o'er to executors pale
The lazy yawning drone. Henry V, I. 2
When
we have matched our rackets to these balls,
We will in France, by God's grace, play a set
Shall strike his father's crown into the hazard. Henry V, I. 2
Now
all the youth of England are on fire,
And silken dalliance in the wardrobe lies. Henry
V, 2. Prologue
For
now sits Expectation in the air
And hides a sword from hilts unto the point
With crowns imperial, crowns and coronets,
Promised to Harry and his followers. Henry
V, 2. Prologue
