s'blood, forsooth, thou hast the very heart
of it.
Tis a day to be celeb-
rated through all the lands both civilised
and savage.
We few, we happy few, this sampling
of siblings. For they that fight along side
of me art naught but siblings, be they faire,
rugged, astride the centre or all without.
Those home abed will think their genders won
cheaply. But we will think back to the wond-
ers we have done and show our scars with pride
and cry, God for Hairy, Shav'd and Natural!
Sorry, I may have gotten carried away.
