1499To try if that our owne be ours, or no.
1503 Alans. Seignior no.
1505Like Pesant foot-Boyes doe they keepe the Walls,
1506And dare not take vp Armes, like Gentlemen.
1508For Talbot meanes no goodnesse by his Lookes.
1509God b'uy my Lord, we came but to tell you
1510That wee are here. Exeunt from the Walls.
1513Vow Burgonie, by honor of thy House,
1515Either to get the Towne againe, or dye.
1517And as his Father here was Conqueror;
1518As sure as in this late betrayed Towne,
1519Great Cordelions Heart was buryed;
1521 Burg. My Vowes are equall partners with thy
1522Vowes.
1524The valiant Duke of Bedford: Come my Lord,
1529And will be partner of your weale or woe.
1531 Bedf. Not to be gone from hence: for once I read,
1534Me thinkes I should reuiue the Souldiors hearts,
1538And now no more adoe, braue Burgonie,
1539But gather we our Forces out of hand,
1541 An Alarum: Excursions. Enter Sir Iohn
1542 Falstaffe, and a Captaine.
1545We are like to haue the ouerthrow againe.
1548 Exit.
1550 Exit.
1551 Retreat. Excursions. Pucell, Alanson, and
1552 Charles flye.
1554For I haue seene our Enemies ouerthrow.
1558 Bedford dyes, and is carryed in by two in his Chaire.
1559 An Alarum. Enter Talbot, Burgonie, and
1560 the rest.
1562This is a double Honor, Burgonie:
1563Yet Heauens haue glory for this Victorie.
1564 Burg. Warlike and Martiall Talbot, Burgonie
1566Thy noble Deeds, as Valors Monuments.
1568I thinke her old Familiar is asleepe.
1570What all amort? Roan hangs her head for griefe,
1572Now will we take some order in the Towne,
1574And then depart to Paris, to the King,
1575For there young Henry with his Nobles lye.
1578The Noble Duke of Bedford, late deceas'd,
1580A brauer Souldier neuer couched Launce,
1581A gentler Heart did neuer sway in Court.
1584Scaena Tertia.
1585 Enter Charles, Bastard, Alanson, Pucell.
1587Nor grieue that Roan is so recouered:
1589For things that are not to be remedy'd.
1590Let frantike Talbot triumph for a while,
1591And like a Peacock sweepe along his tayle,
1592Wee'le pull his Plumes, and take away his Trayne,
1593If Dolphin and the rest will be but rul'd.
1594 Charles. We haue been guided by thee hitherto,
1595And of thy Cunning had no diffidence,
1598And we will make thee famous through the World.
1601Employ thee then, sweet Virgin, for our good.
1604We will entice the Duke of Burgonie
1605To leaue the Talbot, and to follow vs.
1606 Charles. I marry Sweeting, if we could doe that,
1607France were no place for Henryes Warriors,
1609But be extirped from our Prouinces.
1611And not haue Title of an Earledome here.
1613To bring this matter to the wished end.
1614Drumme sounds a farre off.
1616Their Powers are marching vnto Paris-ward.
1617 Here sound an English March.
