Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Shall we go throw away our coats of steel,

And wrap our bodies in black mourning-gowns,

Numbering our Ave-Maries with our beads?

 

Richard

King Henry the Sixth Part III        Act II, Scene i, Line 160

 

The next three lines offers the alternative choice,

        Or shall we on the helmets of our foes

        Tell our devotion with revengeful arms?

Would you like to guess what the right choice is?

 
My friend has found a place on my shoulder to roost this morning and left instructions not to be disturbed. So I won't be bothering him for an answer to today's question. However, if I were to venture a guess as to what his inclination would be, I think it would have something to do with the Ave-Maries and rosary beads.
