CHARLES.
What tidings send our scouts? I prithee, speak.
SCOUT.
The English army, that divided was
Into two parties, is now conjoin’d in one,
And means to give you battle presently.
CHARLES.
Somewhat too sudden, sirs, the warning is;
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.
PUCELLE.
Of all base passions, fear is most accursed.
Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine;
Let Henry fret and all the world repine.
CHARLES.
Then on, my lords; and France be fortunate!
[Exeunt.]
SCENE III. Before Angiers.
Alarum. Excursions. Enter La Pucelle.
PUCELLE.
The Regent conquers, and the Frenchmen fly.
Now help, ye charming spells and periapts;
And ye choice spirits that admonish me,
And give me signs of future accidents. [Thunder]
You speedy helpers, that are substitutes
Under the lordly monarch of the north,
Appear and aid me in this enterprise.
