Non Nobis Domine

The Battle of Agincourt

On this day, in 1415, the Battle of Agincourt was fought.

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 today 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 abed

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.

- Shakespeare

Just the perfect day to sit down and watch Henry V.


Non Nobis Domine. Not to us, O Lord.
