"Fly
true grey goose for Harry and England. With thy arrows smite thy lips with the
dust of Agincourt and seal thy fate. For I name thee my bulwark, my wall, my
yew fence
of England. Who can stand against thee. Hold fast my lads and with Gods good
will
we shall prevail on this St Crispins day".
King Henry V rousing his archers before the battle of Agincourt,
25th October 1415 AD
