Sir Laurence Olivier at his best!. Great speech, too bad it was written by Shakespeare long after the battle took place!.

Crispin is perhaps best known for lending his name to the famous speech given by the eponymous king in Shakespeare's Henry V before the Battle of Agincourt (which occurred on 25 October 1415, though the speech was not written until 1599)!. In the speech, Crispinian's name is spelled Crispian, perhaps not only reflecting London pronunciation in Shakespeare's time, but also more compatible with Shakespeare's lines in iambic pentameter form!.[1]

As to the hidden meaning, I give up!.

The full text of the speech is:

King Henry V:

This day is called the Feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a-tiptoe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian!.
He that shall see this day and live t'old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day!."
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day!. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered!.
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 remembered;
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!. (IV, iii)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually prefer Kenneth Branagh version!. I thought L!.O!.
was a bit too effete for a real warrier!. Still I know that styles
change in acting as in everything else!. When I saw the Branagh version for the first time I thought that this was a man I would follow anywhere!. It is a wonderful speech!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
