O God, forgive him. - King Henry the Sixth, Part II (King Henry at III, iii) [Death] No, rather let my head Stoop to the block than theses knees bow to any Save to the God of heaven and to my king; And sooner dance upon a bloody pole Than stand uncovered to the vulgar groom. - King Henry the Sixth, Part II (Suffolk at IV, i) [Prayer] He can write and read and cast account.
