Doug,

You missed an opportunity for a math/history lesson. ie, how a 1500 year old religeon can't fight a 4000 year old war.

Henry V. Act 1. Scene 2.

The Dauphin's ambassadors have just delivered the Dauphin's
tribute as Henry has claimed the throne of france.

He askes Exeter what it consists of and he replies,

"Tennis balls, my Liege."
Then Henry begins his statement, part of which contains
these lines...

"...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.
So get you hence in peace; and tell the Dauphin
His jest will savour but of shallow wit,
When thousands weep more than did laugh at it."
