Prayer for Victory
William Shakespeare, Richard III 5.3.114-120 (Richmond speaking, before the Battle of Bosworth Field):

O Thou, whose captain I account myself,On 116 commentators compare Psalm 2.9 (Bishops' Bible):
Look on my forces with a gracious eye. 115
Put in their hands thy bruising irons of wrath,
That they may crush down with a heavy fall
The usurping helmets of our adversaries.
Make us Thy ministers of chastisement,
That we may praise Thee in the victory! 120
120 the Q: thy F, Q3-5
Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron: and breake them in peeces like a potters vessell.
