What is the saying at start of Iron Maiden song Still Life?

The beginning of the Iron Maiden song 'Still Life" features a quote which comes from Act IV, Scene i, of Henry VI, Part 2 play by William Shakespeare, spoken by the character Lord Say:

“This staff of honor raught, there let it stand

Where it best pleaseth you. As for this nail,

If this favor seem but small,

Consider this– Who wins a woman, wins more,

And who gets one maid gains thereby a score.”
