this is what I think would be closer to what Henry the fifth a combat leader would have sounded like as he as he answered some one of his subordinate leaders out there in the crowd saying that we need more people we need more men I think this is what he would have sounded like what’s he that wishes is so my cousin West Morland no my fair cousin if we are marked to die we are enough to do our country loss and if to live the fewer men the greater share of Honor God’s will I pray thee wish not one more man by Jo I am not Covetous for gold nor care I doth feed upon my cost it earns me not if men my garments wear such outward things dwell not my desires but if it be a sin to covet honor I am the most offending Soul alive no faith my C wish not a man from England God’s peace I would not lose so great an honor as one man more me thinks would share from me for the best hope I have oh do not wish one more rather Proclaim it West Morland through my host that he which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart his passport shall be made and crowns for Convoy shall be put into his purse we would not die in that man’s company that fears his Fellowship to die with us this day is called the Feast of Crispian he that outlives this day and comes home safe will stand a tiptoe when the day is named and Rouse him at the name of Crispian he that shall see this day and live old age will yearly on the vigil Feast his neighbors and say tomorrow is St chrispian then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars and say these wounds I had on crisen Day old men forget yet all shall be forgot but he’ll remember with advantages what Feats he did that day then shall our names familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king Bedford and exiter Warwick and Talbot Salsbury and Glouster be in their flowing cups freshly remembered this story shall the good man teach his son and Crispen Crispian shall n Go by from this day to to the ending of the world but we in it shall be remembered we few we happy few we Band of [Music] Brothers for who for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother be he n so vile this day shall gentle his condition and gentlemen in England now AED shall think themselves accursed they were not here and hold their manhoods cheap whils any speaks that fought with us upon St Kristen’s day
