St. Crispin's Day Speech

“All things are ready, if our mind be so.”
As Henry gives this speech to his soldiers he realizes that they are scared to 
fight the French who have a larger army.
Westmoreland wishes for more men and the king counters his statement,
O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!
by telling his men that if they die, they will die in honor and if they live?
"The fewer men the greater share of honor."
Here's a link to the speech from the 2012 BBC television production of "The Hollow Crown."
