Once more into the breach…when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the actions of a tiger…

ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH
From HENRY V, Act III, Scene 1, Lines 1-6
By William Shakespeare

King Henry:

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger. . . .
