Shakespeare's Henry V, Act 3, Scene 1, l. 31:
Henry, king of England, harangs his troops before the battle of Harfleur against the French
(the English win of course!):
"I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry God for Harry, England and St George!"
