Poem of the Week: 11/23/08-11/29/08

This week’s poem of the week is the much quoted St. Crispen’s Day Speech from Shakespeare’s Henry V.

You can follow the link above to read it for yourself or you can watch it performed below. My main complaint with the performance is that everyone looks right except Henry himself.

And if you are the type that wants to see the battle afterwards click here. The only noteworthy part is that the actors portraying the English do a good job of looking scared when the French charge them.
