We few, We Happy Few

After "to be or not to be" and "wherefore art thou, Romeo?", this is perhaps the next most famous speech from the plays. Thanks to A.P., I begin to see why.  It may be the most perfectly crafted and uplifting rallying cry ever written. The repetition of the word "we" in the first line; the combination of blood and brotherhood; the contrast between the rest of the English population "now abed" with "manhood" and the "us" in the last line - such elegant simplicity. The speech is devoid of aggression and bloodthirstiness, yet it is the model of patriotism in the face of war, unlike Churchill's famous battle cry, "we'll fight them on the beaches..." etc.
