Shakespeare - Henry V Quotes, Famous Henry V Quotes Quotations
If
you would take the pains but to examine the wars of Pompey the
Great, you shall find, I warrant you, that there is no tiddle-taddle
nor pibble-pabble in Pompey's camp. Henry V, 4. 1
Though
it appear a little out of fashion,
There is much care and valour in this Welshman. Henry V, 4. 1
I
think the king is but a man, as I am: the violet smells to him
as it doth to me. Henry V, 4. 1
I
am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle; for how
can they charitably dispose of any thing when blood is their
argument? Henry V, 4. 1
Every
subject's duty is the king's; but every subject's soul is his
own. Henry V, 4. 1

the king! let us our lives, our souls,
Our debts, our careful wives,
Our children, and our sins lay on the king! Henry V, 4. 1
What
infinite heart's ease
Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy!
And what have kings that privates have not too,
Save ceremony, save general ceremony? Henry V, 4. 1
'Tis
not the balm, the sceptre and the ball,
The sword, the mace, the crown imperial,
The intertissued robe of gold and pearl,
The farcèd title running 'fore the king,
The throne he sits on, nor the tide of pomp
That beats upon the high shore of this world,
No, not all these, thrice-gorgeous ceremony,
Not all these, laid in bed majestical,
Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave,
Who with a body filled and vacant mind
Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread. Henry
V, 4. 1
O
God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts;
Possess them not with fear; take from them now
The sense of reckoning, if the opposèd numbers
Pluck their hearts from them. Henry
V, 4. 1
