ron obvious 1,501 Posted September 16, 2019 He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,And rouse him at the name of Fark-eHe that shall live this day, and see old age,Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,And say 'To-morrow is Saint Daniel:'Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.And say 'These wounds I had on Daniel's day.'Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,But he'll remember with advantagesWhat feats he did that day: then shall our names.Familiar in his mouth as household wordsPukki, the king, Cantwell and Amadou,Tettey and Byram, Lewis and EmiBe in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.This story shall the good man teach his son;And Daniel Stuart shall ne'er go by,From this day to the ending of the world,But we in it shall be remember'd;We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;For he to-day that sheds his sweat with meShall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,This day shall gentle his condition:And gentlemen in England now a-bedShall think themselves accursed they were not here,And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaksThat fought with us upon Saint Daniel's day.

BobLoz3 492 Posted September 16, 2019 The game's afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God* for Farke, Norwich, and Saint Stuart!' *whichever one you want or not one at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Six Pack 92 Posted September 18, 2019 Added to front: Rather proclaim it, Pukki, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart. His transfer shall be made, And conditions for his loan put into his contract. We would not play in that man’s company That fears his fellowship to play with us. This day is call’d the start for St Daniel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
