[Sound a Flourish. Enter Charles, Alencon, and Reignier,marching with Drum and Soldiers.]
| |
|
|
| | CHARLES.: | |
| | Mars his true moving, even as in the heavens | |
| | So in the earth, to this day is not known: | |
| | Late did he shine upon the English side; | |
| | Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. | |
| | What towns of any moment but we have? | |
| | At pleasure here we lie near Orleans; | |
| | Otherwhiles the famish'd English, like pale ghosts, | |
| | Faintly besiege us one hour in a month. | |
|
|
| | ALENCON.: | |
| | They want their porridge and their fat bull beeves | |
| | Either they must be dieted like mules, | |
| | And have their provender tied to their mouths, | |
| | Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. | |
|
|
| | REIGNIER.: | |
| | Let's raise the siege: why live we idly here? | |
| | Talbot is taken, whom we wont to fear: | |
| | Remaineth none but mad-brain'd Salisbury; | |
| | And he may well in fretting spend his gall, | |
| | Nor men nor money hath he to make war. | |
|
|
| | CHARLES.: | |
| | Sound, sound alarum! we will rush on them. | |
| | Now for the honour of the forlorn French! | |
| | Him I forgive my death that killeth me | |
| | When he sees me go back one foot or flee. | |
