Now are we well resolved; and, by God's help,
And yours, the noble sinews of our power,
France being ours, we'll bend it to our awe,
Or break it all to pieces: or there we'll sit,
Ruling in large and ample empery
O'er France and all her almost kingly dukedoms,
Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn,
Tombless, with no remembrance over them:
Either our history shall with full mouth
Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave,
Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth,
Not worshipp'd with a waxen epitaph. —Henry V; 6/27/25, 8:29 AM

Immanuel Rant said...: To be a true Haiku they really needed to add a last line "Cherry blossoms fall." That can make anything Kaiku-esque. I.e.:

Batman and Robin
Fight crime in our town
