Halx,
Try reading the words aloud, and with a little rhythm, 400 yrs is a long time to expect the syntax and vocabulary to remain comprehensible.
That speech, like all morale boosting speech works great for about 5 minutes. Once you get bitch slapped off your horse and see your best friend maimed, the speech seems rather quaint.
I still like to read or hear it though.
