"...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."


Now I would ask all of you Who wrote this , but with google and other various search engines it does not matter any more if anyone has read this They will have the anwser and yet not know the context of the writing.I hope someone out there still reads honest to goodness books(I still do when time permits)



(from Act 4, scene 3)

Mac Beth will always be my favourite. I took two years of English at STU along with drama and film studies. I'm much more of a behaviour mod psyc man and law. Of course these days children’s lit seems to occupy most of my reading time.

Cheers,
Trevor
