  • Henry V, when the Dauphin sends him tennis balls, but Kenneth Branagh’s version:

    We are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us.

    His present and your pains we thank you for.

    When we have matched our rackets to these balls, We will in France, by God’s grace, play a set

    Shall strike his father’s crown into the hazard.

    And we understand him well, How he comes o’er us with our wilder days,

    Not measuring what use we made of them.

    But tell the Dauphin I will keep my state, Be like a king, and show my sail of greatness When I do rouse me in my throne of France,

    And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his Hath turned his balls to gun-stones, and his soul Shall stand sore chargèd for the wasteful vengeance That shall fly with them; for many a thousand widows

    Shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands, Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles down; And some are yet ungotten and unborn That shall have cause to curse the Dauphin’s scorn.







  • Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.
