&blquo;SCENE II. France. Plains in Anjou. &blquo;Enter Pucelle, Charles, Burgundy, Alenson, and Forces, marching.

&blquo;Cha.
&blquo;These news, my lords, may chear our drooping spirits:
&blquo;'Tis said, the stout Parisians do revolt,
&blquo;And turn again unto the warlike French.

&blquo;Ale.
&blquo;Then march to Paris, royal Charles of France:
&blquo;And keep not back your powers in dalliance.

&blquo;Puc.
&blquo;Peace be amongst them, if they turn to us;
&blquo;Else, ruin combat with their palaces! &blquo;Enter a Messenger.

&blquo;Mes.
&blquo;Success unto our valiant general,
&blquo;And happiness to his accomplices!

&blquo;Cha.
&blquo;What tidings send our scouts? I pr'ythee, speak.

&blquo;Mes.
&blquo;The English army, that divided was
&blquo;Into two parts, is now conjoin'd in one;
&blquo;And means to give you battle presently.

&blquo;Cha.
&blquo;Somewhat too sudden, sirs, the warning is;
&blquo;But we will presently provide for them.

&blquo;Bur.
&blquo;I trust, the ghost of Talbot is not there;
&blquo;Now he is gone, my lord, you need not fear.

&blquo;Puc.
&blquo;Of all base passions, fear is most accurs'd:—
&blquo;Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine;
&blquo;Let Henry fret, and all the word repine.

&blquo;Cha.
&blquo;Then on, my lords; and France be fortunate! [Exeunt, marching* ^note.
