Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our brave men dead.
When the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit height.
On, on, you noblest men.
Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more.
