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 Saarbr=FCcken, MO gave us a hint on Gowron's speech from t=
he opening of the Star Trek: Klingon computer game. He said it's the open=
ing lines of a Shakespearean play.
After some effort, maHvatlh (Zrajm) and I figured out that the play is Henr=
y 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 scatt=
ered 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 rec=
onstructing the original Klingon?
