9From this day to the ending of the world,\
10But we in it shall be remembered-\
11We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;\
12For he to-day that sheds his blood with me\
13Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,\
14This day shall gentle his condition;\
15And gentlemen in England now-a-bed\
16Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,\

18That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."''

I'm proud to have served with each and every one of you. You all deserve long and happy lives in peace."''

30You did not desert me\
31My brothers in arms.''
