Excuse me while I get civilized today…<\/p>\n

For this week’s Friday enjoyment, I want to play you one of the best battle speeches of any movie. Whether Henry V actually said anything remotely related to this is irrelevant; Shakespeare’s version is much better than real life.<\/p>\n

Saint Crispin’s Day<\/a>

For those of you who are YouTube-impaired, a text version of the St. Crispin’s Day speech follows.<\/p>\n

This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
\n He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
\n Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
\n And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
\n He that shall live this day, and see old age,
\n Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
\n And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian.’
\n Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
\n And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
\n Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
\n But he’ll remember, with advantages,
\n What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
\n Familiar in his mouth as household words-
\n Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
\n Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
\n Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
\n This story shall the good man teach his son;
\n And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
\n From this day to the ending of the world,
\n But we in it shall be remembered-
\n We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
\n For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
\n Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
\n This day shall gentle his condition;
\n And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
\n Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
\n And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
\n That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
