Wut.- 0 that we now bad here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work t<Hlay{
K. Hen.-What's he that w ishes eo f
My cousin Westmoreland 1-No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our eountry losa; and if to live,
The fewer men the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray tht'e, wish not one man more.
13y Jove, I am not covetous for goltl ;
Nor cnre I who doth feecl npon my eoet;
It yearna me not if men my gaT mente wel\r ;
Snob outward things dwell not in my desires:
13ut, if it be a sin to covet honoor,
I am the moat offending aoul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from Engll\nd.
God's peace! I would not lose ao gr81\t an lionour,
.Ae one m'\n more, metbink.'l, wonld share from rot',
For the best hope I have. 0, do not wish one mo•·e :
Rather proclaim it, Weetmorelnnd, through my boat,
That he who bath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart: hie paBRport eball be mRde,
And crowns for convoy put into hi a puree:
We would not die in that man'e company,
That fear11 his fellowship to die with ua.
This d•y is call'd the Feast of Crispi•u:
H e that outline this day, and eomes 88fe home,
Will stand a-tiptoe when this day ia named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live tbia day, and aee old age.

And ~~ay-" To-morrow is Saint Criapian I"
Then will he strip hie sleeve, and abow bia acare,
And aa.y-" These woanda I had on Crispi.u'e day,"
Old men forget, yet all aball be forgot,
But he'll remember , with advantaget,
What feata he did that day. Then aball our nnmea,.
