Dauntless
Quote: 'Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution' (King John, act 5, scene 1, lines 48–53) - William Shakespeare
Mutterings of awful shame
(a child’s bones)
vie for supremacy;
yet here you are, cowering incessantly.
You hide in a game of thrones.
Fie!
Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution, Sir!
Show courage in a worthy hopeless cause,
my Blade Runner, my bread-and-butter.
Show your true flag.
Ah yes, truth will not cover in glory;
that is the power of propaganda.
Begone, John Lackland;
they don’t like your story.
Magna Carta.
Charter of the law.
Gotcha.
