He that outlives this day and comes safe home
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispin.
He that shall live this day and see old age
Will yearly at the vigil feast his neighbors
and say "Tomorrow is st crispain."
Then will he strip his sleeves and show his scars
And say these wounds I had on crispains day.
Old men forget, yet all shall be forgot,
But he shall remember with advantages
the feats he did this day. Then shall our names
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salsburry and Gloucaster
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememberd.
This story shall the good man teach his son
And crispain crispain shall ne'er go by
From this day until the ending of the world
But we in it shall be remembered.
We few, we happy few. We band of brothers
For today, he that sheds his blood with me
shall be my brother. Be he ne'er so vile.
For this day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in England, now abed,
shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And holdst their manhoods cheap whilst any speak
Who fought with us upon ST CRISPAIN'S DAY!
Excerpt of crispain day speach from henry V, done from memory (I performed it in 8th grade waaaaay back when). Some parts may be wrong, its been a long time.
