雖然英文不難，但在排列上、音調的精心設計之下，是一篇相當震撼人心的演說稿。

喬治六世二次大戰的演說稿全文：
In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every
household of my peoples, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with
the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your
threshold and speak to you myself.
For the second time in the lives of most of us we are at war. Over and over
again we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between
ourselves and those who are now our enemies. But it has been in vain. We have
been forced into a conflict. For we are called, with our allies, to meet the
challenge of a principle which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any
civilised order in the world.
It is the principle which permits a state, in the selfish pursuit of power,
to disregard its treaties and its solemn pledges; which sanctions the use of
force, or threat of force, against the sovereignty and independence of other
states. Such a principle, stripped of all disguise, is surely the mere
primitive doctrine that might is right; and if this principle were
established throughout the world, the freedom of our own country and of the
whole British Commonwealth of Nations would be in danger. But far more than
this - the peoples of the world would be kept in the bondage of fear, and all
hopes of settled peace and of the security of justice and liberty among
nations would be ended.
This is the ultimate issue which confronts us. For the sake of all that we
ourselves hold dear, and of the world's order and peace, it is unthinkable
that we should refuse to meet the challenge. It is to this high purpose that
I now call my people at home and my peoples across the seas, who will make
our cause their own. I ask them to stand calm, firm, and united in this time
of trial. The task will be hard. There may be dark days ahead, and war can no
longer be confined to the battlefield. But we can only do the right as we see
the right, and reverently commit our cause to God. If one and all we keep
resolutely faithful to it, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may
demand, then, with God's help, we shall prevail. May God bless and keep us
all.
