For England and Saint George!
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead ! Dishonour not 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 and 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 for Harry! England! and Saint George!
King Henry T T , 111, 1.
