“This story shall the good man teach his son
It’s just beore dawn on the morning o the 25th o October, 1415, near Agincourt, France.King Henry V has a small English orce, many o them ill, all o them bone-tired. They are hugelyoutnumbered by the well-rested and well-ed French army beore them.Henry’s men are araid and demoralized, assuming the battle will go to the French and theywill all be slaughtered. They bemoan the act they have so ew men, and start to murmur abouthow desperate their situation is, looking at each other with wild eyes.Then Henry steps up and inspires his men by creating a clear vision o the possibility o a gloriousand well-remembered victory. William Shakespeare captured the moment in these immortal lines: 
Thi day i alled the eat o Cripian:He that outlive thi day, and ome ae home, Will tand a tip-toe when the day i named, And roue him at the name o Cripian.He that hall live thi day, and ee old age, Will yearly on the vigil eat hi neighbour, And ay ‘To-morrow i Saint Cripian:’Then will he trip hi leeve and how hi ar. And ay ‘Thee wound I had on Cripin’ day.Old men orget: yet all hall be orgot,But he’ll remember with advantage What eat he did that day: then hall our name.Familiar in hi mouth a houehold wordHarry the king, Bedord and Exeter,
