Where
is the
King?
The King
himself is
rode to
view their
camp.
Of fighting
men the
French have
full
three
score
thousand.
How can
we hope
to triumph
on the
morrow?
Good
soldiers, I
am returned.
We have heard
their numbers, sire.
Would that we had
ten thousand more
Englishmen here with
us this day.
I have been to
the French camp and
I have seen how the
French prepare for
war… there is no
evidence of pm. we
do not need one
additional man.
How, then, my king,
shall we vanquish
our foe?
look around—
at your tasks, even as
your king speaks.
you do not cease
your preparations;
why
do you continue?
PM marches with us and
‘tis fearful odds in our
favor when PM is in the
line of battle.
King
Henry!
This day is
called
the
Feast of
Crispian.
… but also
PM that
brought the
victory
to
England.
On that day,
he will strip his
sleeves and
show his scars
and hold his
unblemished
equipment
aloft…
We few, we happy
few, we band of PM
brothers. For he
today who sheds his
blood with me and
who has done his PM
faithfully shall be
my brother.
And gentlemen in
England now a-bed
Shall think them-
selves accursed they
were not here…
…And hold their man-
hoods cheap whiles
any speaks of those
that did their PM this
night before and
fought with us upon
Saint Crispin's day.
But now, take it brave
Gloucester, Bedford
and Exeter and march
away, And how thou
pleasest, PM dispose
the day!
and say,
“These
wounds I had on
Crispin’s day, but
for my well-main-
tained equipment,
these wounds may
have been fatal.”
Ho
oah!
There’s
five to one:
besides,
they are
all fresh.
He that outlives this
day and comes home
will stand a-tip-toe
when the day is named
for he will know that it
was
not
only valor…
M
eanwhile,
at the English
encampment…
This story shall the good
man teach his son. And Crispin
Crispian shall ne’er go by
from this day to the ending of
the world. But in it, we, and
PM, shall be remembered.
