Henry V's pre-war speech in Ginkul!
Westmorland, if only we could add 10,000 people who are loafing around in Britain today!
Who made King Henry make such a wish? My uncle westmorland? No, good uncle. If we are doomed to die on the battlefield, then the losses we have brought to the motherland will be great enough; If you can survive, then the fewer people, the greater the glory. God, I beg you, don't hope to add another person. I am not greedy for gold and silver; I don't care who spent my money; To tell the truth, I'm not worried about others wearing my clothes-these are not in my heart. But if the desire for honor is a sin, then I am the most guilty of all. Now, to tell the truth, uncle, don't expect another person from England. God, I don't want to miss such a great honor because I think one more person will get the best hope from me. Ah, westmorland, don't expect anyone else! You might as well tell the whole army that whoever doesn't have the courage to fight this battle will fall behind. We will issue him a pass and put the necessary travel expenses along the way into his wallet. We don't want to die with such a man-he is afraid to die with all of us. Today this day is called "crispin Festival" (25). Anyone who has lived to this day and can return to his hometown safely will be awed whenever he mentions this day. Every time he hears the name "crispin", his spirits will perk up. As long as anyone survives today, he will celebrate the eve of crispin Festival every year when he is old, and will invite his neighbors with wine and say, "Tomorrow is St. crispin's Day!" "Then, he rolled up his sleeves and showed his scars, saying," These scars are all acquired by Chris on weekdays. "The old man has a bad memory, but even if he forgets everything, he will clearly remember his heroic deeds that day. Our names are household names in his mouth: Henry, Fu Pei, Exeter, Alec, Taibao, Salisbury, Gloucester and so on. When they are drinking and laughing, they will remember these names affectionately again. The kind old man will tell the story to his son in detail; Crispin Festival, from today to the end of the world, will never pass casually, and we who act in this festival will never be forgotten. We are a minority, a lucky minority, and we are a group of brothers-because he bled with me today, and he is my good brother; No matter how humble he is, today will bring him the status of a gentleman. The English gentleman lying in bed at the moment will also complain about his fate in the future and regret why it is not his turn to come here; Moreover, whenever I hear about the people who fought with us on St. crispin's Day, I feel ashamed and feel like a man.
Your Majesty King Salisbury, please get ready at once. France has established its position with great momentum and is about to launch an all-out attack on us.
Everything is ready for King Henry-if so, so are our minds.
Westmorland, anyone who wants to back down now will die!
King Henry, you don't want more people to come from England, do you, uncle?
Westmorland, a lesson from God! I hope it's just your majesty and me, and there is no third gang to fight this glorious battle!
King Henry well, listen to your wishes at the moment, and 5 thousand strong men are redundant! With their loyalty to me, they would never want me to be alone. You all know where you are, right? -God be with you!
【 Sound of the horn. Moncho]
Moncho, I once again learned from your mouth, King Henry, that in the face of your doomed destruction, will you make peace with us with ransom? Really, you are standing on the edge of the abyss, and you are about to be swept away by the waves! In addition, for the sake of mercy, our marshal wants you to tell your people not to forget their repentance and let their souls get a peaceful home when they leave the battlefield-these poor bastards, their bodies should have been buried here and rotted here.
King Henry, who sent you this time?
Marshal Moncho of France.
King Henry, I beg you, take back my previous answer and tell them to kill me first and then sell my bones. Oh, my god Why do they lie like this? Once upon a time, there was a man who sold lion skins while the lion was still in the mountains. As a result, the lion didn't catch it, but died. Needless to say, many of us will be buried in our motherland, and I believe that the deeds of this day will be handed down on the bronze monument in front of their graves; And those warriors who died in battle and left the bones of the British in France, although buried in your dunghill, will spread their fame, because the sun shines on them, evaporates their righteousness into the sky, makes their skins smell rotten, and lets poison gas cover your country-causing a plague and plague in France. So, please think about how brave we British are. After they die, they will rise again, kill you like ricochet, and they can kill again. Let me say proudly: tell your marshal that we are just old soldiers, and the limelight of our red gold and silver was washed away in the rainy March in the muddy wilderness. We can't find another feather on our heads-I hope this is the best proof: we will never flap our wings and fly away-it is time that makes us so jealous; But to be honest, our hearts are still clean and tidy. My poor soldiers told me that they would have new clothes to wear before dark; Otherwise, it is inevitable to start peeling off bright new clothes from French soldiers and send them away. If they do this-as long as God permits, they will-then my ransom will soon reach a sum. Special envoy, save your energy, and don't mention any ransom, good special envoy; I swear, they won't think of their hands, except my bones-that's it. If I fall into their hands, I'm afraid I won't be so soft. Report to your sheriff.
Moncho, I'll tell him, King Henry. Let's meet again; No more envoys will come to you. (Next. )
King Henry is afraid that he will come to you for ransom.
【 On York. ]
Emperor York, I sincerely kneel down and ask you to let me be the commander of the stormtroopers.
King Henry, I appoint you, brave York. Now, soldiers, March bravely! God, it's up to you to win or lose today!
Henry V is a historical play written by British playwright william shakespeare, which was written in 1599 according to textual research. Based on the life of King Henry V, the story focuses on the events before and after the Battle of Kinkul in the Hundred Years' War.
This play is the last of four. The first three parts are Richard II, Henry IV Part I and Henry IV Part II. The original audience is already familiar with this role in Henry IV, and is described as a bohemian Prince Henry. In Henry V, the young prince grows into a mature man and devotes himself to conquering France.
Plot introduction:
The Elizabethan Theatre in Henry V does not use stage scenery. Shakespeare realized the difficulty of showing large-scale wars and scene changes on an extended stage, so he explained the story to the audience with a loudspeaker and encouraged them to use their imagination. At the beginning, the speaker called for a "radiant muse" and King Henry "had the spirit of the God of War". And said, "Is this' chicken farm' big enough for Wan Li? Or can we squeeze so many soldiers into this round wooden frame? " So I hope the audience can overcome the limitations of the stage through imagination and "stimulate your great imagination."
The script begins with Henry's fleet preparing for war with France, including the fact that the Earl of Cambridge and two others conspired to assassinate Henry in Southampton. Henry's witty disclosure of the plot and cruel treatment of the assassin show that he is different from the image shown in his previous plays.
When the speaker appeared again, he told the audience about the country's efforts for the war. "They sold their cattle and sheep to buy horses" and told the audience that "as long as we can do it, no one in the audience will be unhappy."
Like all Shakespeare's serious plays, some small comedy characters are portrayed in contrast to the main characters, and sometimes the main characters are evaluated from the side. In this play, they are ordinary soldiers in Henry's army, including pistols, Nim and Bardolph in Henry IV. This army also includes representatives from all parts of the British Isles: a Scot, an Irishman, an Englishman and F. Lu Lin (an interesting and old-fashioned Welsh soldier whose name is a homophonic of the typical Welsh name "Princess"). The script also briefly talks about the death of Faststaff, who was a friend of Henry V in Henry IV.
Then, the speaker appeared again, seeking the audience's imagination of the British navy. "Ah! Imagine that you are standing on the coast and watching the surging waves, "he said." "Suppose the ambassador has returned from France and reported to Harry that the French king is willing to marry Princess Catherine to him, but the princess's compensation is only a few insignificant principalities."
In The Siege of Affre, Henry delivered one of his most famous speeches: "Good friends, make persistent efforts and rush to the gap ..." [2].
Before the Battle of Ginkul, the outcome seemed unclear, and Henry V fell into the most embarrassing quagmire. When the young king decided to patrol the British barracks at night, his heroism came out. He disguised himself to comfort her soldiers and find out what they really thought of him. At the beginning of the war, Henry delivered his famous speech to inspire his troops: "From today until the end of the world, it will never pass casually, and those of us who act on this festival will never be forgotten." We are a few people, lucky people, and we are a team of brothers-because he bled with me today, and he is my good brother. " [3]
After the Battle of Ginkul, Henry tried to woo the French princess Catherine. Finally, the king of France agreed that Henry was the heir to the French monarch. Queen Isabel said, "I hope the British are like the French, and the French are like the British. Please respect me and love me! " "
Before the curtain fell, the speaker appeared on the stage again, and said sadly, "It's a pity that national politics was in the hands of many people, and finally France fell, and Britain became a river of blood", suggesting that the next period would be the reign of Henry VI before Shakespeare came to the stage.
