Act IV, Scene iii

Always remembered. In our minds and the continuos generation St. Caspian's day will remind of the English battle against France. St. Crispian's day will be a day of remembrance. The day's importance is being emphasized by Henry by saying that old man forget all but this day. Linked to this are the soldiers "then shall our names" (V.34), meaning every individual will be remembered. But also referring to the small amount of fighters, who will all be named in history. Through an hyperbole "he'll remember with advantages"(V.33)Henry exaggerates their feats.Listing different important men and using a simile of the familiarity of the words as "household words"(V.35), he defines them all the same status. To their honor and remembrance, he will drink to them,pointed out by "be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd" (V.38).Henry ends his idea by summarizing the importance of St.Crispian's day and overstates with hyperbole that it will last "to the ending of the world"(V.41)always in remembrance of us, the English. In these verses 31-42 Henry keeps repeating to the importance of day and that they will always be remembered. Their willingness to this fight must be written and kept in history.
