Hotspur - Sir Henry Percy, called Harry Hotspur.

"This match'd with other did, my gracious lord;
For more uneven and unwelcome news
Came from the north and thus it did import:
On Holy-rood day, the gallant Hotspur there,
Young Harry Percy and brave Archibald,
That ever-valiant and approved Scot,
At Holmedon met,
Where they did spend a sad and bloody hour,
As by discharge of their artillery,
And shape of likelihood, the news was told;
For he that brought them, in the very heat
And pride of their contention did take horse,
Uncertain of the issue any way.

Henry IV, Part I, Act One, Scene One.

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Very nice find. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

The first thought I had was “Harry Hotspur”-it is just about the only time the word is seen here.

There are those who criticize
Every “cowboy” president-
The ones like Reagan and W
Always draw major dissent

And the hotspur called Obama
Condemns them chapter and verse
Then says something rash in public
Which is infinitely worse

If a president is tough in public
They need to have a cowboy’s class-
Not to let their alligator mouth
Overload their hummingbird ass...
