[Ravensfort] Happy St. Crispin's Day

[HerrDetlef]

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2284>

*King Henry*

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2262>
What's
he that wishes so?

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2263>My
cousin Westmorland? No, my fair cousin,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2264>If
we are marked to die, we are enough

To do our country loss; and if to live,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2266>The
fewer men, the greater share of honor.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2267>God's
will, I pray thee wish not one man more.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2268>By
Jove, I am not covetous for gold,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2269>Nor
care I who doth feed upon my cost.

It earns me not if men my garments wear;

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2271>Such
outward things dwell not in my desires.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2272>But
if it be a sin to covet honor,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2273>I
am the most offending soul alive.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2274>No,
faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.

God's peace, I would not lose so great an honor

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2276>As
one man more methinks would share from me

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2277>For
the best hope I have. Oh, do not wish one more.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2278>Rather
proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2279>That
he which hath no stomach to this fight,

Let him depart. His passport shall be made

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2281>And
crowns for convoy put into his purse.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2282>We
would not die in that man's company

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2283>That
fears his fellowship to die with us.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2284>This
day is called the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day and comes safe home

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2286>Will
stand a tiptoe when this day is named

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2287>And
rouse him at the name of Crispian.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2288>He
that shall see this day and live old age

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2289>Will
yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors

And say, "Tomorrow is Saint Crispian."

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2291>Then
will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2292>Old
men forget; yet all shall be forgot,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2293>But
he'll remember, with advantages,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2294>What
feats he did that day. Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words --

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2296>Harry
the king, Bedford and Exeter,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2297>Warwick
and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester --

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2298>Be
in their flowing cups freshly remembered.

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2299>This
story shall the good man teach his son,

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2301>From
this day to the ending of the world,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2302>But
we in it shall be rememberèd,

<http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Annex/Texts/H5/FM/scene/4.3#tln-2303>We
few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

For he today 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 abed,

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.

He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
