    Two opposing warriors that, on a better day, might have been buddies:

    HOTSPUR is wounded, and falls]

    HOTSPUR: O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth!
    I better brook the loss of brittle life
    Than those proud titles thou hast won of me;
    They wound my thoughts worse than sword my flesh:
    But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool;
    And time, that takes survey of all the world,
    Must have a stop. O, I could prophesy,
    But that the earthy and cold hand of death
    Lies on my tongue: no, Percy, thou art dust
    And food for--

    [Dies]

    PRINCE HENRY: For worms, brave Percy: fare thee well, great heart!
