Band of Brothers

Recommended Posts

This day is called the feast of WF Record Day:

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 WF.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say 'To-morrow is WF Record Day:'

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.

And say 'These wounds I had on WF Record 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

Moon the Wise, Tankus and Nellie2,

Artist and Blink_182_fan, Powerless and Mark2,

Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And WF Record Day 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 blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition:

And gentlemen in England now a-bed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon WF Record Day.

:D

Edit: :blush: wrong name
