And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, 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.
