In an earlier play, Shakespeare had Falstaff utter these words about honor in a 
battle which he and Prince Hal both fought..  Eric


Well, 'tis no matter; honour pricks me on.

Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I come on? How then?

Can honour set to a leg? no: or an arm? no: or take away grief of a wound? no.

Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is honour? a word. What is in 
that word honour?

what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning!

Who hath it? he that died o' Wednesday.

Doth he feel it? no.

Doth he hear it? no.

'Tis insensible, then.

Yea, to the dead.

But will it not live with the living? no.

Why? detraction will not suffer it.

Therefore I'll none of it.

Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so ends my catechism.
