Well done!

It's part of a speech delivered by Henry V on St. Crispin's Day prior to the Battle of Agincourt.

7. Had to look it up, the Ancient Mariner was by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Awwwesome, Dor.

3.Daniel 5:27

9. Patrick Henry

Excellent solves.

Wow, Haroula, I would've settled for the Book of Daniel, but you've been very precise.

BTW, the verse refers to an interpretation by Daniel of three words written on the palace wall by a hand that appeared to Belshazzar after he used the gold and silver goblets taken from the Jewish temple to party with. They were: "Mene, Tekel, Parsin"
Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Parsin: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.

From this we get the expression: "seeing the handwriting on the wall"

Sojourner Truth, an emancipated slave. Original speech in 1951.

"If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yourn holds a quart, wouldn't ye be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?"

Kudos, Pandora!

11. The Declaration of Independence

Indeed it was, Gail.

Babala, I think you will find LadyK was correct.

15. "Rainy Day" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

You know, you are so right, and I am so wrong.

Apologies to LadyK.


Well done, everyone!
