Crusade: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Therefore, friends, As far as to the sepulchre of Christ, (Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross We are impressed and ingag'd to fight,) Forthwith a power of English shall we levy; Whose arms were moulded in their mother's womb, To chase these pagans, in those holy fields, Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet, Which fourteen hundred years ago, were nail'd,— H. IV. PT. 1. i. 1.
For our advantage, on the bitter cross.
