If
we are marked to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour. Henry V, 4. 3
He
which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy 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 safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian. Henry V, 4. 3
Then
will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say, 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Henry V, 4. 3
And
Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd;
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
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. Henry V, 4. 3
Thou
damned and luxurious mountain goat. Henry V, 4. 4

In the quick forge and working-house of thought,
How London doth pour out her citizens. Henry V, 5. Prologue

for Cadwallader and all his goats. Henry V, 5. 1

this leek, I will most horribly revenge: I eat and eat, I swear.

hell shall stir for this. Henry

these fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves
into ladies' favours, they do always reason themselves out again. Henry
