1 Henry VI: moody-mad

By Scott Granneman / 16 January 2007 / language & literature, word of the day / anger, animals, language, literature, shakespeare

From William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, part 1 (IV: 2):

TALBOT:

If we be English deer, be then in blood;
Not rascal-like, to fall down with a pinch,
But rather, moody-mad and desperate stags,
Turn on the bloody hounds with heads of steel
And make the cowards stand aloof at bay:

moody-mad: furious with anger
