| SCENE V. 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
5 Sits mocking in our plumes. O merchante fortune!
Do not run away.
|
 |
|
A short alarum
|
 |
|
| 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 |
 |
|
 |
10 Is this the king we sent to for his ransom?
|
 |
|
| BOURBON |
 |
|
 |
Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame!
Let us 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,
15 Like a base pander, 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 |
 |
|
 |
20 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
