Quotes
“Our names are advertised by our loving friends.”
Paladin paraphrasing Shakespeare
KING EDWARD IV
We are advertised by our loving friends
That they do hold their course toward Tewksbury:
We, having now the best at Barnet field,
Will thither straight, for willingness rids way;
And, as we march, our strength will be augmented
In every county as we go along.
Strike up the drum; cry ‘Courage!’ and away.
William Shakespeare, “Henry VI”, Part 3 Act IV, Scene 3
