<H3>SCENE II. France. Before Rouen.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter JOAN LA PUCELLE disguised, with four Soldiers with sacks upon their backs</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>These are the city gates, the gates of Rouen,</A><br>
<A NAME=2>Through which our policy must make a breach:</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Take heed, be wary how you place your words;</A><br>
<A NAME=4>Talk like the vulgar sort of market men</A><br>
<A NAME=5>That come to gather money for their corn.</A><br>
<A NAME=6>If we have entrance, as I hope we shall,</A><br>
<A NAME=7>And that we find the slothful watch but weak,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>I'll by a sign give notice to our friends,</A><br>
<A NAME=9>That Charles the Dauphin may encounter them.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>First Soldier</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=10>Our sacks shall be a mean to sack the city,</A><br>
<A NAME=11>And we be lords and rulers over Rouen;</A><br>
<A NAME=12>Therefore we'll knock.</A><br>
<p><i>Knocks</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>Watch</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=13>[Within]  Qui est la?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=14>Paysans, pauvres gens de France;</A><br>
<A NAME=15>Poor market folks that come to sell their corn.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>Watch</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>Enter, go in; the market bell is rung.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=17>Now, Rouen, I'll shake thy bulwarks to the ground.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
<p><i>Enter CHARLES, the BASTARD OF ORLEANS, ALENCON, REIGNIER, and forces</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>CHARLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=18>Saint Denis bless this happy stratagem!</A><br>
<A NAME=19>And once again we'll sleep secure in Rouen.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>BASTARD OF ORLEANS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>Here enter'd Pucelle and her practisants;</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Now she is there, how will she specify</A><br>
<A NAME=22>Where is the best and safest passage in?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>REIGNIER</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=23>By thrusting out a torch from yonder tower;</A><br>
<A NAME=24>Which, once discern'd, shows that her meaning is,</A><br>
<A NAME=25>No way to that, for weakness, which she enter'd.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter JOAN LA PUCELLE on the top, thrusting out a torch burning</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=26>Behold, this is the happy wedding torch</A><br>
<A NAME=27>That joineth Rouen unto her countrymen,</A><br>
<A NAME=28>But burning fatal to the Talbotites!</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech11><b>BASTARD OF ORLEANS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=29>See, noble Charles, the beacon of our friend;</A><br>
<A NAME=30>The burning torch in yonder turret stands.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech12><b>CHARLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=31>Now shine it like a comet of revenge,</A><br>
<A NAME=32>A prophet to the fall of all our foes!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>REIGNIER</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends;</A><br>
<A NAME=34>Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently,</A><br>
<A NAME=35>And then do execution on the watch.</A><br>
<p><i>Alarum. Exeunt</i></p>
<p><i>An alarum. Enter TALBOT in an excursion</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=36>France, thou shalt rue this treason with thy tears,</A><br>
<A NAME=37>If Talbot but survive thy treachery.</A><br>
<A NAME=38>Pucelle, that witch, that damned sorceress,</A><br>
<A NAME=39>Hath wrought this hellish mischief unawares,</A><br>
<A NAME=40>That hardly we escaped the pride of France.</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
<p><i>An alarum: excursions. BEDFORD, brought in sick  in a chair. Enter TALBOT and BURGUNDY without:  within JOAN LA PUCELLE, CHARLES, BASTARD OF ORLEANS, ALENCON, and REIGNIER, on the walls</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=41>Good morrow, gallants! want ye corn for bread?</A><br>
<A NAME=42>I think the Duke of Burgundy will fast</A><br>
<A NAME=43>Before he'll buy again at such a rate:</A><br>
<A NAME=44>'Twas full of darnel; do you like the taste?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>BURGUNDY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=45>Scoff on, vile fiend and shameless courtezan!</A><br>
<A NAME=46>I trust ere long to choke thee with thine own</A><br>
<A NAME=47>And make thee curse the harvest of that corn.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>CHARLES</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=48>Your grace may starve perhaps before that time.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>BEDFORD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=49>O, let no words, but deeds, revenge this treason!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=50>What will you do, good grey-beard? break a lance,</A><br>
<A NAME=51>And run a tilt at death within a chair?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=52>Foul fiend of France, and hag of all despite,</A><br>
<A NAME=53>Encompass'd with thy lustful paramours!</A><br>
<A NAME=54>Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age</A><br>
<A NAME=55>And twit with cowardice a man half dead?</A><br>
<A NAME=56>Damsel, I'll have a bout with you again,</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Or else let Talbot perish with this shame.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech21><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=58>Are ye so hot, sir? yet, Pucelle, hold thy peace;</A><br>
<A NAME=59>If Talbot do but thunder, rain will follow.</A><br>
<p><i>The English whisper together in council</i></p>
<A NAME=60>God speed the parliament! who shall be the speaker?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech22><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>Dare ye come forth and meet us in the field?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech23><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=62>Belike your lordship takes us then for fools,</A><br>
<A NAME=63>To try if that our own be ours or no.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech24><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=64>I speak not to that railing Hecate,</A><br>
<A NAME=65>But unto thee, Alencon, and the rest;</A><br>
<A NAME=66>Will ye, like soldiers, come and fight it out?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech25><b>ALENCON</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=67>Signior, no.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech26><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=68>Signior, hang! base muleters of France!</A><br>
<A NAME=69>Like peasant foot-boys do they keep the walls</A><br>
<A NAME=70>And dare not take up arms like gentlemen.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech27><b>JOAN LA PUCELLE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=71>Away, captains! let's get us from the walls;</A><br>
<A NAME=72>For Talbot means no goodness by his looks.</A><br>
<A NAME=73>God be wi' you, my lord! we came but to tell you</A><br>
<A NAME=74>That we are here.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt from the walls</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech28><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=75>And there will we be too, ere it be long,</A><br>
<A NAME=76>Or else reproach be Talbot's greatest fame!</A><br>
<A NAME=77>Vow, Burgundy, by honour of thy house,</A><br>
<A NAME=78>Prick'd on by public wrongs sustain'd in France,</A><br>
<A NAME=79>Either to get the town again or die:</A><br>
<A NAME=80>And I, as sure as English Henry lives</A><br>
<A NAME=81>And as his father here was conqueror,</A><br>
<A NAME=82>As sure as in this late-betrayed town</A><br>
<A NAME=83>Great Coeur-de-lion's heart was buried,</A><br>
<A NAME=84>So sure I swear to get the town or die.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech29><b>BURGUNDY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=85>My vows are equal partners with thy vows.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech30><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=86>But, ere we go, regard this dying prince,</A><br>
<A NAME=87>The valiant Duke of Bedford. Come, my lord,</A><br>
<A NAME=88>We will bestow you in some better place,</A><br>
<A NAME=89>Fitter for sickness and for crazy age.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech31><b>BEDFORD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=90>Lord Talbot, do not so dishonour me:</A><br>
<A NAME=91>Here will I sit before the walls of Rouen</A><br>
<A NAME=92>And will be partner of your weal or woe.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech32><b>BURGUNDY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=93>Courageous Bedford, let us now persuade you.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech33><b>BEDFORD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=94>Not to be gone from hence; for once I read</A><br>
<A NAME=95>That stout Pendragon in his litter sick</A><br>
<A NAME=96>Came to the field and vanquished his foes:</A><br>
<A NAME=97>Methinks I should revive the soldiers' hearts,</A><br>
<A NAME=98>Because I ever found them as myself.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech34><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=99>Undaunted spirit in a dying breast!</A><br>
<A NAME=100>Then be it so: heavens keep old Bedford safe!</A><br>
<A NAME=101>And now no more ado, brave Burgundy,</A><br>
<A NAME=102>But gather we our forces out of hand</A><br>
<A NAME=103>And set upon our boasting enemy.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt all but BEDFORD and Attendants</i></p>
<p><i>An alarum: excursions. Enter FASTOLFE and a Captain</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech35><b>Captain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=104>Whither away, Sir John Fastolfe, in such haste?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech36><b>FASTOLFE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=105>Whither away! to save myself by flight:</A><br>
<A NAME=106>We are like to have the overthrow again.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech37><b>Captain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=107>What! will you fly, and leave Lord Talbot?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech38><b>FASTOLFE</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=108>Ay,</A><br>
<A NAME=109>All the Talbots in the world, to save my life!</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech39><b>Captain</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=110>Cowardly knight! ill fortune follow thee!</A><br>
<p><i>Exit</i></p>
<p><i>Retreat: excursions. JOAN LA PUCELLE, ALENCON, and CHARLES fly</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech40><b>BEDFORD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=111>Now, quiet soul, depart when heaven please,</A><br>
<A NAME=112>For I have seen our enemies' overthrow.</A><br>
<A NAME=113>What is the trust or strength of foolish man?</A><br>
<A NAME=114>They that of late were daring with their scoffs</A><br>
<A NAME=115>Are glad and fain by flight to save themselves.</A><br>
<p><i>BEDFORD dies, and is carried in by two in his chair</i></p>
<p><i>An alarum. Re-enter TALBOT, BURGUNDY, and the rest</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech41><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=116>Lost, and recover'd in a day again!</A><br>
<A NAME=117>This is a double honour, Burgundy:</A><br>
<A NAME=118>Yet heavens have glory for this victory!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech42><b>BURGUNDY</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=119>Warlike and martial Talbot, Burgundy</A><br>
<A NAME=120>Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects</A><br>
<A NAME=121>Thy noble deeds as valour's monuments.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech43><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=122>Thanks, gentle duke. But where is Pucelle now?</A><br>
<A NAME=123>I think her old familiar is asleep:</A><br>
<A NAME=124>Now where's the Bastard's braves, and Charles his gleeks?</A><br>
<A NAME=125>What, all amort? Rouen hangs her head for grief</A><br>
<A NAME=126>That such a valiant company are fled.</A><br>
<A NAME=127>Now will we take some order in the town,</A><br>
<A NAME=128>Placing therein some expert officers,</A><br>
<A NAME=129>And then depart to Paris to the king,</A><br>
<A NAME=130>For there young Henry with his nobles lie.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech44><b>BURGUNDY</b></a>

<A NAME=131>What wills Lord Talbot pleaseth Burgundy.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech45><b>TALBOT</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=132>But yet, before we go, let's not forget</A><br>
<A NAME=133>The noble Duke of Bedford late deceased,</A><br>
<A NAME=134>But see his exequies fulfill'd in Rouen:</A><br>
<A NAME=135>A braver soldier never couched lance,</A><br>
<A NAME=136>A gentler heart did never sway in court;</A><br>
<A NAME=137>But kings and mightiest potentates must die,</A><br>
<A NAME=138>For that's the end of human misery.</A><br>
