TO THE ENGLISH OVER SEA
ON THE LANDING -OF THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE. Dishonour riot your mothers; now attest. That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you. Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you. good yeomen, Whose limbs were made in England. show us here The mettle of your pasture; let us swear That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not : For there is none of you so mean .a.nd base That hath not noble lustre in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining -upon the start. The game's afoot ; ■Follow your spirit; and upon this charge Cry '-'God far Harry! England and St. George!", —"HENRY V."
