Act IV, Scene v:
Another part of the field.
Another part of the field.
| [Enter Constable, Orleans, Bourbon, Dauphin, and Rambures.] |
| CONSTABLE: |
| O diable! |
| ORLEANS: |
| O Seigneur! le jour est perdu, tout est perdu! |
| DAUPHIN: |
| Mort de ma vie! all is confounded, all! |
| Reproach and everlasting shame |
| Sits mocking in our plumes. |
| [A short alarum.] |
| O mechante fortune! Do not run away. |
| CONSTABLE: |
| Why, all our ranks are broke. |
| DAUPHIN: |
| O perdurable shame! let's stab ourselves, |
| Be these the wretches that we play'd at dice for? |
| ORLEANS: |
| Is this the king we sent to for his ransom? |
| BOURBON: |
| Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame! |
| Let's die in honour! Once more back again! |
| And he that will not follow Bourbon now, |
| Let him go hence, and with his cap in hand, |
| Like a base pandar, hold the chamber door |
| Whilst by a slave, no gentler than my dog, |
| His fairest daughter is contaminated. |
| CONSTABLE: |
| Disorder, that hath spoil'd us, friend us now! |
| Let us on heaps go offer up our lives. |
| ORLEANS: |
| We are enow yet living in the field |
| To smother up the English in our throngs, |
| If any order might be thought upon. |
| BOURBON: |
| The devil take order now! I'll to the throng. |
| Let life be short, else shame will be too long. |
| [Exeunt.] |
