I saw young Harry with his beaver on, 105 His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury And vaulted with such ease into his seat As if an angel dropped down from the clouds, To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus 110 And witch the world with noble horsemanship. | ORNVNE heyerT all in rufmnoi, all emadr.

They come like sacrifices in their trim, And to the fire-eyed maid of smoky war 115 All hot and bleeding will we offer them. The maild Mars shall on his altar sit Up to the ears in blood. I am on fire To hear this rich reprisal is so nigh And yet not ours. Come, let me taste my horse, 120 Who is to bear me like a thunderbolt Against the bosom of the Prince of Wales.

HOTSPUR No more, no more! Worse than the sun in March This praise doth nourish agues. Let them come. They come like sacrifices in their trim, And to the fire-eyed maid of smoky war 115 All hot and bleeding will we offer them. The maild Mars shall on his altar sit Up to the ears in blood. I am on fire To hear this rich reprisal is so nigh And yet not ours. Come, let me taste my horse, 120 Who is to bear me like a thunderbolt Against the bosom of the Prince of Wales. Harry to Harry shall, hot horse to horse, Meet and neer part till one drop down a corse. O, that Glendower were come! | UPROHST tpSo, sotp! ihsT raipes of mhi skmea me kercsi anht eht snu on an erayl irgsnp yda. etL emht eomc, kiel esicfiacsr in lal hteir enfyri; elwl roeff ehtm, tho dan ieledbgn, to the feir-deye esddsog of oyksm arw. heT awr-dgo rMsa wlli sti on shi trlaa, up to ish sera in lbdoo.
