then enter JOAN LA PUCELLE, driving Englishmen before her, and exit after
them then Enter TALBOT]
TALBOT

Where is | my strength,| my val|or, and | my
force?
, , ,
, ,
2->
Our Eng|lish troops | retire,| I can|not stay ||
them,
, ,
, , ,
A wom|an clad | in arm|or chas|eth them.
[Enter JOAN LA PUCELLE]
T T . T
, ,
,
Here, here she^comes.| I'll have | a bout | with
thee: ??
,
, , ,
,
Devil | or dev|il's dam,| I'll con|jure thee:
,
, , ,
,
Blood will | I draw | on thee,| thou art | a
witch,
, ,
, ,
,
And straight|way* give | thy soul | to him | thou
servst.
JOAN LA PUCELLE

, , 2 ,
Come*, come, | 'tis on|ly I | that must^dis|grace
thee. ??
[Here they fight]
TALBOT

, , , ,
Heavens, can | you suf|fer hell | so to |
prevail?
, ,
, ,
2 ,
My breast | I'll burst | with strain/ing of my
| courage,
, ,
, , ,
o
And from | my shoul|ders crack | my arms |
asund|er,
, T
T T
, , ,
But I | will chastise | this high-|minded | strumpet. (hex with

[They fight again]
JOAN LA PUCELLE

T
Talbot | farewell,| thy hour | is not yet come,
, ,
2 , ,
,
I must | go vic|tual Orl|eans | forthwith:
[A short alarum; then enter the town with
soldiers]
,
, , ,
,
Oretake | me if | thou canst,| I scorn | thy
strength.
T T T
2 , , ,
Go, go, cheer | up thy hung|ry-starv|ed men,

Help Sal/isbury | to make | his test|ament,

This^day | is ours,| as ma|ny more | shall be.
[Exit]
TALBOT
, ,
, ,
,
My thoughts | are whirl|ed like | a pot|ter's
wheel,
, ,
, , ,
I know | not where | I am,| nor what | I do:
,
, , , ,
A witch | by fear,| not force,| like Han|nibal,
T T .
T ,
, ,
Drives back our troops,| and con|quers as | she
lists:
, ,
, , ,
So bees | with smoke,| and doves | with nois|ome
stench,
, ,
, x ,
Are from | their hives | and hous|es driven
| away.
, ,
, ,
,
They called | us for | our fierce|ness, Eng|lish
dogs,
T T .
T , ,
,
Now like to whelps,| we cry|ing run | away.
[A short alarum]
, ,
, ,
,
Hark count/rymen, | either | renew | the fight,
,
, , ,
,
Or tear | the li|ons out | of Eng|land's coat;
, ,
T T . T ,
Renounce | your soil,| give sheep in li|ons'
stead:
T T T
, ,
2 , ,
->
Sheep run not | half so | treacherous | from the ||
wolf,
,
, , ,
Or | horse or | oxen | from the | leopard,
, ,
, , ,
As you | fly from | your oft-|subdu|ed slaves.
[Alarum. Here another skirmish]
, ,
, , 2 ,
It will / not be,| retire | into your | trenches:
,
, , ,
2 ,
You all | consent|ed un|to Sal|isbury's death,
, ,
, , ,
For none | would strike | a stroke | in his |
revenge.
,
, , ,
,
Pucelle | is ent|ered in|to Orl|eans,
,
, , ,
,
In spite | of us,| or aught | that we | could do.
, ,
, , x
O would | I were | to die | with Sal|isbury,
,
, , ,
,
The shame | hereof,| will make | me hide | my
head.
[Alarum; retreat; flourish. Exit]
