Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)/The First Part of King Henry the Sixth/Act 5 Scene 2

by William Shakespeare

Scæna Tertia.

---

Enter Charles, Burgundy, Alanson, Bastard,
Reignier, and Ione.

Char.
These newes (my Lords) may cheere our drooping spirits:
'Tis said, the stout Parisians do reuolt,
And turne againe vnto the warlike French.

Alan.
Then march to Paris Royall Charles of France,
And keepe not backe your powers in dalliance.

Pucel.
Peace be amongst them if they turne to vs,
Else ruine combate with their Pallaces.

Enter Scout.

Scout.
Successe vnto our valiant Generall,
And happinesse to his accomplices.

Char.
What tidings send our Scouts? I prethee speak.

Scout.
The English Army that diuided was
Into two parties, is now conioyn'd in one,
And meanes to giue you battell presently.

Char.
Somewhat too sodaine Sirs, the warning is,
But we will presently prouide for them.

Bur.
I trust the Ghost of Talbot is not there:
Now he is gone my Lord, you neede not feare.

Pucel.
Of all base passions, Feare is most accurst.
Command the Conquest Charles, it shall be thine:
Let Henry fret, and all the world repine.

Char.
Then on my Lords, and France be fortunate.
Exeunt.⁠Alarum.⁠Excursions.
