Will you yield, and this avoid,Or, guilty in defense, be thus destroyed?Nasty stuff...so nasty it prompts the Govener of Harfleur this response:/Therefore, great King,We yield our town and lives to thy soft mercy.Enter our gates, dispose of us and oursFor we no longer are defensible.Ah, Willy the Shake....still shaking things up several hundred years later <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />T from Three Haligonians</blockquote>
