(Warwick at V, ii) Death Quotes

And tell me who is victor, York or Warwick.

My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows,
That I must yield my body to the earth.
And, by my fall, the conquest to my foe.
Thus yields the cedar to the axe's edge,
Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle,
Under whose shade the ramping lion slept,
Whose top-branch overpeered Jove's spreading tee
And kept low shrubs from winter's powerful wind."

And we shall feed like oxen at a stall,
The better cherished still the nearer death."
