		The display of executive leadership in the plays divides with naturally pleasing symmetry...on the battlefield, virtues are fortitude and temperance, while in the king's court, competence is shown by justice and wisdom.
		Both young lords are surpassingly courageous leaders in the face of danger as I imagine Oberweis and Brady are; however, the essential difference between Hotspur and Prince Hal is that Hotspur is brave without temperance while Prince Harry exhibits the virtue of decorum, an appreciation of what is fit and appropriate.
		In contrast to Hotspur's horse that bears him "like a thunderbolt" to his death suggesting an unbridled and irrational energy that must at last destroy itself, Harry's "noble horsemanship" which bridles even a "fiery Pegasus" allows the Prince to "turn and wind", impressive dressage cavalry skills of control and maneuver.
