From Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1:
SIR WALTER BLUNT
    What is thy name, that in the battle thus
    Thou crossest me? what honour dost thou seek
    Upon my head?

EARL OF DOUGLAS
    Know then, my name is Douglas;
    And I do haunt thee in the battle thus
    Because some tell me that thou art a king.

SIR WALTER BLUNT
    They tell thee true.

EARL OF DOUGLAS
    The Lord of Stafford dear to-day hath bought
    Thy likeness, for instead of thee, King Harry,
    This sword hath ended him: so shall it thee,
    Unless thou yield thee as my prisoner.

SIR WALTER BLUNT
    I was not born a yielder, thou proud Scot;
    And thou shalt find a king that will revenge
    Lord Stafford's death.
