Act III, Scene vi

[An alarum. Re-enter Talbot, Burgundy, and the rest.]

TALBOT.:

Lost, and recover'd in a day again!

This is a double honor, Burgundy:

Yet heavens have glory for this victory!

BURGUNDY.:

Warlike and martial Talbot, Burgundy

Enshrines thee in his heart, and there erects

Thy noble deeds as valor's monuments.

TALBOT.:

Thanks, gentle duke. But where is Pucelle now?

I think her old familiar is asleep:

Now where 's the Bastard's braves, and Charles his gleeks?

What, all amort? Rouen hangs her head for grief

That such a valiant company are fled.

Now will we take some order in the town,

Placing therein some expert officers;

And then depart to Paris to the king,

For there young Henry with his nobles lie.

BURGUNDY.:

What Lord Talbot pleaseth Burgundy.

TALBOT.:

But yet, before we go, let 's not forget

The noble Duke of Bedford late deceased,

But see his exequies fulfill'd in Rouen:

A braver soldier never couched lance,

A gentler heart did never sway in court;

But kings and mightiest potentates must die,

For that's the end of human misery.

[Exeunt.]
