:43:01
Work, work your thoughts, and
in them see a siege! [men shouting]
:43:05
Behold the ordinance
on their carriages,
:43:07
with fatal mouths gaping
on girded harflew.
:43:11
Suppose the ambassador
from the French comes back,
:43:14
tells Harry that the king does
offer him Katherine, his daughter,
:43:16
and with her to dowry, some
petty and unprofitable dukedoms.
:43:19
The offer likes him not.
:43:21
And the nimble gunner with linstock
now the devilish cannon touches,
:43:24
and down goes all before them!
:43:28
[Explosion]
[Shouting continues]
:43:38
Once more unto the breach,
dear friends!
:43:41
Once more, or close the wall up
with our English dead!
:43:46
[Explosion]
:43:56
In peace there's nothing so becomes a
man as modest stillness and humility.
:44:00
But when the blast of war
blows in our ears,
:44:02
then imitate the action
of the tiger!
:44:05
Stiffen the sinews,
summon up the blood,
:44:07
disguise fair nature
with hard-favored rage.
:44:09
Then lend the eye
a terrible aspect.
:44:12
Let it pry through the portage of
the head like the brass cannon.
:44:14
Let the brow o'erwhelm it as
fearfully as doth a galled rock...
:44:18
o'erhang and jetty
his confounded base,
:44:20
swilled with the wild
and wasteful ocean.
:44:22
Now set the teeth
and stretch the nostril wide,
:44:26
hold hard the breath and bend up
every spirit to his full height!
:44:31
On, on, you noblest England!
:44:35
[Explosion]
:44:40
Now attest that those whom you
called fathers did beget you.
:44:44
And you, good yeoman, whose
limbs were made in England,
:44:47
show us here the mettle
of your pasture.
:44:49
Let us swear that you are worth
your breeding, which I doubt not!
:44:54
For there is none of you so mean and base
that hath not noble luster in your eyes!
:44:59
I see you stand like greyhounds in
the slips, straining upon the start.
