fuckyeahgreatplays:nwsoftheweird:“And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his Hath turn’d his balls to gun-stones; and his soul Shall stand sore charged for the wasteful vengeance That shall fly with them: for many a thousand widows Shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands; Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles down; And some are yet ungotten and unborn That shall have cause to curse the Dauphin’s scorn. But this lies all within the will of God, To whom I do appeal; and in whose name Tell you the Dauphin I am coming on, To venge me as I may and to put forth My rightful hand in a well-hallow’d cause.”–Henry from “Henry V” (I.ii.281–293)God I love this speech. Especially for the way the repeated “mock” sounds like a tennis ball bouncing.I just tried it and yeah it does.And could that mirror “mock the expectation of the world”? -- source link
