Somebody more well-versed in Shakespeare can probably draw some conclusions from that :)

Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] O for a Muse of fire
At the qepHom in Saarbrücken, MO gave us a hint on Gowron's speech from the opening of the Star Trek: Klingon computer game. He said it's the opening lines of a Shakespearean play.
After some effort, maHvatlh (Zrajm) and I figured out that the play is Henry V. The opening line is:
'o 'oghlu'meH qul
O for a Muse of fire
MO confirmed the play and the correctness of that specific line. However, we were not able to recover the original beyond this other than a few scattered words and fragments.
Also, a subsequent search revealed that qurgh had made the same conjecture about the identity of the passage earlier.
Does anyone wants to look at that passage from Henry V and give a go at reconstructing the original Klingon?
