- This story shall the good man teach his son;
-
- And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
-
- From this day to the ending of the world,
-
- But we in it shall be remember'd;
-
- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
-
- For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
-
- Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
-
- This day shall gentle his condition:
-
- And gentlemen in England now a-bed
-
- Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
-
- And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
-
- That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
