SCENE II. France. Plains in Anjou.
Enter CHARLES, BURGUNDY, ALENCON, BASTARD OF ORLEANS, REIGNIER, JOAN LA PUCELLE, and forces
CHARLES
      These news, my lord, may cheer our drooping spirits:
      'Tis said the stout Parisians do revolt
      And turn again unto the warlike French.
ALENCON
      Then march to Paris, royal Charles of France,
5     And keep not back your powers in dalliance.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
      Peace be amongst them, if they turn to us;
      Else, ruin combat with their palaces!
Enter Scout
Scout
      Success unto our valiant general,
      And happiness to his accomplices!
CHARLES
10    What tidings send our scouts? I prithee, speak.
Scout
      The English army, that divided was
      Into two parties, is now conjoined in one,
      And means to give you battle presently.
CHARLES
      Somewhat too sudden, sirs, the warning is;
15    But we will presently provide for them.
BURGUNDY
      I trust the ghost of Talbot is not there:
      Now he is gone, my lord, you need not fear.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
      Of all base passions, fear is most accursed.
      Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine,
20    Let Henry fret and all the world repine.
CHARLES
      Then on, my lords; and France be fortunate!
