I have to say he does Shakespeare very well. Will Shakespeare would be proud of him. He would be great in other Shakespeare's plays like Hamlet and Romeo And Juliet.

I think its important to remember that Harry went to France in an expedition and took an arrow in his face that pierced well into his sinuses. They tried to pull it out, but the wooden shaft came out of the metal point. A surgeon crafted a clamp made of 2 narrow lengths of iron and inserted it into the wound, feeling about until it seated in the base of the arrowpoint. The surgeon then placed a screw into the clamp and twisted it, spreading the near end of the clamp wedging the far end tightly into the point. The grip was tight enough to extract the point. That'd be enough to sober anyone.
