    “Sweet death, small son, our instrument
    Of immortality,
    Your cries and hungers document
    Our bodily decay.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    “Upon Saint Crispin’s day
    Fought was this noble fray,
    Which fame did not delay
    To England to carry.
    On when shall Englishmen
    With such acts fill a pen,
    Or England breed again
    Such a King Harry?”
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
