[♦] Sent. Arm! arm! the enemy doth make assault! [Cry: ‘St George,’ ‘A Talbot.’

The French leap over the walls in their shirts. Enter, several ways, the BASTARD of Orleans, ALENÇON, and REIGNIER, half ready, and half unready.

[♦] Alen. How now, my lords! what, all unready so?

[40] Bast. Unready! ay, and glad we ’scaped so well.

Reig. ’Twas time, I trow, to wake and leave our beds,

Hearing alarums at our chamber-doors.

Alen. Of all exploits since first I follow’d arms,

Ne’er heard I of a warlike enterprise

45 More venturous or desperate than this.

[♦] Bast. I think this Talbot be a fiend of hell.
