FOR HE TODAY THAT SHEDS HIS BLOOD WITH ME
SHALL BE MY BROTHER, BE HE NEVER SO VILE
THIS DAY SHALL GENTILE HIS CONDITION:; AND GENTLEMEN IN ENGLAND STILL IN BED
SHALL THINK THEMSELVES CURSED,
FOR THEY WERE NOT HERE;
AND HOLD THEIR MANHOODS CHEAP WHILES ANY SPEAKS
THAT FOUGHT WITH US UPON SAINT CRISPINS DAY. TUESDAY
25 OCTOBER, 2022; FAMILIAR IN THEIR MOUTHS AS HOUSEHOLD WORDS, HARRY THE KING,
BEDFORD AND EXETER,
WARWICK AND FURNIVALL,
SALISBURY AND GLOSTER, ---; BE IN THEIR FLOWING CUPS FRESHLY REMEMBERED
THIS STORY SHALL THE GOOD MAN TEACH HIS SON;
AND CRISPIN CRISPIAN SHALL NEVER GO BY,
FROM THIS DAY TO THE ENDING OF THE WORLD,
BUT WE IN IT SHALL BE REMEMBERED,---
WE FEW, WE HAPPY FEW,
WE BAND OF BROTHERS;
