I'll tell ya'll something about HW. I was reading King Richard the Third today. Richard (before he becomes King) is having a dialogue w/Lady Anne. They have just had a very intense argument about Richard murdering her husband and father-in-law. (Act I, Scene II) He asks her to just do him in, put him out of his deformed misery and hands her his sword. She takes the sword, but does then  decides not to stab him. He then says:

"Take up the sword again, or take up me" (read: if you don't kill me now, I'll make your life a living hell).


Hawkwind, Song of the Sword:

"Take up the sword or take up me" (or almost, barring maybe an article or preposition--I don't have my lyrics handy now)
