Ascension of King Henry V
Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height!
I know you all, and will awhile uphold The unyoked humour of your idleness.
By breaking through the foul and ugly mistsOf vapours that did seem to strangle him.
My reformation, glitt’ring o’er my fault, Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
Yet herein will I imitate the sun
If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work;
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
But when they seldom come, they wished-for come, And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
By how much better than my word I am, By so much shall I falsify men’s hopes
I’ll so offend to make offence a skill, Redeeming time when men think least I will.
