"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".
From
Henry V by William Shakespeare
