KING HENRY V:
This story shall the good man teach his son;
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
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.
I been working on this one for a while. I had one up and running last November, but things didn't... um ... quite pan out as I expected. So it has needed some rewriting.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers..."
So apt.
The Bard wrote for eternity. The human condition really hasn’t changed very much in five hundred years.
Yes, indeed! A Favorite for the Ages!
