This day is called the feast of Crispian:
\nHe that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
\nWill stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
\nAnd rouse him at the name of Crispian.
\nHe that shall live this day, and see old age,
\nWill yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
\nAnd say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian’:
\nThen will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
\nAnd say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
\nOld men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
\nBut he’ll remember with advantages
\nWhat feats he did that day: then shall our names.
\nFamiliar in his mouth as household words
\nHarry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
\nWarwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
\nBe in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
\nThis story shall the good man teach his son;
\nAnd Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
\nFrom this day to the ending of the world,
\nBut we in it shall be remember’d;
\nWe few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
\nFor he to-day that sheds his blood with me
\nShall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
\nThis day shall gentle his condition:
\nAnd gentlemen in England now a-bed
\nShall think themselves accursed they were not here,
\nAnd hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
\nThat fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.<\/p>\n
