Shakespeare quotes on victoryLet's present him to the Duke, like a Roman conqueror; and it would do well to set the deer's horns upon his head for a branch of victory When from the Dauphin's crest thy sword struck fire, It warm'd thy Source: THE FIRST PART OF HENRY THE SIXTH Thus far our fortune keeps an upward course, And we are grac'd with wreaths of victory That done, dissever your united strengths And part your mingled colours once again, Turn face to face and bloody point to point; Then in a moment Fortune shall cull forth Out of one side her happy minion, To whom in favour she shall give the day, And kiss him with a glorious victory Norway himself, with terrible numbers, Assisted by that most disloyal traitor The Thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict, Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof, Confronted him with self-comparisons, Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm, Curbing his lavish spirit; and, to conclude, The victory fell on us O, my lord, wisdom and blood combating in so tender a body, we have ten proofs to one that blood hath the victory Therefore take with thee my most grievous curse, Which in the day of battle tire thee more Than all the complete armour that thou wear'st! My prayers on the adverse party fight; And there the little souls of Edward's children Whisper the spirits of thine enemies And promise them success and victory I'll strive with troubled thoughts to take a nap, Lest leaden slumber peise me down to-morrow When I should mount with wings of victory [To RICHMOND] Thou quiet soul, sleep thou a quiet sleep; Dream of success and happy victory Methought their souls whose bodies Richard murder'd Came to my tent and cried on victory Advance Source: KING RICHARD III Quotes for: Shakespeare Quotes
