Off Topic: This Week's Odd Literary Juxtaposition

In the second of what appears to be a continuing series of odd literary juxtapositions (see last week's broom tree blogging), I offer this:

A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength
(Psalms 33:17)

A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
(Richard III by William Shakespeare Act 5, Scene 4)

Those up on their Shakespeare will recognize this vain cry by King Richard III on Bosworth Field as he loses the last real battle of the War of the Roses to Henry VII, thus ending the reign of the Plantagenets and ushering in the Tudor dynasty.
