    “Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;

    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.”

    “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
    Or close the wall up with our English dead.
    In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
    As modest stillness and humility,
    But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
    Then imitate the action of the tiger.
    Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
    Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
