If I Were Brave
Now, soldiers, march away. And how Thou pleasest, God, dispose the day!
-Henry V, Iv.iii.131-132
If I were brave (and I am not) And if I were in the Capital (and I am not) I hope God would steel my heart (Henry V, IV.1.307) To ask the soldiers to stop (I would probably look very silly)
I would not be the first to step in front of them But if someone else were to lead I would follow second Wearing my old boonie hat
And speak to them of a bad man:
“Now does he feel his title Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe Upon a dwarfish thief.”
