611Goe, goe, cheare vp thy hungry-starued men,
614 Talb. My thoughts are whirled like a Potters Wheele,
615I know not where I am, nor what I doe:
619Are from their Hyues and Houses driuen away.
621Now like to Whelpes, we crying runne away.
622 A short Alarum.
623Hearke Countreymen, eyther renew the fight,
624Or teare the Lyons out of Englands Coat;
626Sheepe run not halfe so trecherous from the Wolfe,
627Or Horse or Oxen from the Leopard,
629 Alarum. Here another Skirmish.
630It will not be, retyre into your Trenches:
633Puzel is entred into Orleance,
635O would I were to dye with Salisbury,
636The shame hereof, will make me hide my head.

641 Puzel. Aduance our wauing Colours on the Walls,
643Thus Ioane de Puzel hath perform'd her word.
647That one day bloom'd, and fruitfull were the next.
649Recouer'd is the Towne of Orleance,
650More blessed hap did ne're befall our State.
651 Reigneir. Why ring not out the Bells alowd,
652Throughout the Towne?
653Dolphin command the Citizens make Bonfires,
655To celebrate the ioy that God hath giuen vs.
656 Alans. All France will be repleat with mirth and ioy,
657When they shall heare how we haue play'd the men.
659For which, I will diuide my Crowne with her,
660And all the Priests and Fryers in my Realme,
662A statelyer Pyramis to her Ile reare,
663Then Rhodophe's or Memphis euer was.
668Before the Kings and Queenes of France.
669No longer on Saint Dennis will we cry,
670But Ioane de Puzel shall be France's Saint.
