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 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

King Henry V, Act IV,
Scene 3
