MONTJOY.
The day is yours.
KING HENRY.
Praised be God, and not our strength, for it!
What is this castle call’d that stands hard by?
MONTJOY.
They call it Agincourt.
KING HENRY.
Then call we this the field of Agincourt,
Fought on the day of Crispin Crispianus.
FLUELLEN.
Your grandfather of famous memory, an’t please your Majesty, and your great-uncle Edward the Plack Prince of Wales, as I have read in the chronicles, fought a most prave pattle here in France.
KING HENRY.
They did, Fluellen.
FLUELLEN.
Your Majesty says very true. If your Majesties is rememb’red of it, the Welshmen did good service in garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps; which, your Majesty know, to this hour is an honourable badge of the service; and I do believe your Majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek upon Saint Tavy’s day.
KING HENRY.
I wear it for a memorable honour;
For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman.
FLUELLEN.
All the water in Wye cannot wash your Majesty’s Welsh plood out of your pody, I can tell you that. Got pless it and preserve it, as long as it pleases His grace, and His majesty too!
KING HENRY.
Thanks, good my countryman.
