BEDFORD
, ,
, ,
,
The day | begins | to break,| and night | is
fled,
, ,
, ,
,
Whose pitch|y mant|le ov|er-veiled | the earth.
, ,
, ,
,
Here sound | retreat,| and cease | our hot |
pursuit.
[Retreat sounded]
TALBOT
T T . T
, , x
Bring forth the bod|y of / old Sal|isbury,
, ,
, ,
,
And here | advance | it in | the mark|et-place,
, ,
, , ,
The mid|dle cent|er of | this curs|ed town.
, ,
, , ,
Now have | I paid | my vow | unto | his soul:
, ,
, , ,
For eve|ry drop | of blood | was drawn | from
him,
,
. T T T
, ,
There* hath | at least five French|men died |
tonight.
, , , ,
,
And that | hereaft|er ag|es may | behold
, ,
, ,
,
What ru|in hap|pened in | revenge | of him,
, ,
, ,
,
Within | their chief|est temp|le I'll | erect
, ,
, ,
,
A tomb,| wherein | his corpse | shall be |
interred:
, ,
, 2 , ,
Upon | the which,| that eve|ry one | may read,
, ,
, , ,
Shall be | engraved | the sack | of Orl|eans,
, 2 ,
, , ,
The treach|erous man|ner of | his mourn|ful death,
, , ,
, ,
And what | a ter|ror he | had been | to France.
, ,
, , ,
But lords,| in all | our blood|y mas|sacre,
, ,
,
,
,
I muse | we met | not with | the Dauph/in's
grace,
. T T T 2 ,
2 , ,
His new-come cham|pion, vir|tuous Joan | of Arc,
, ,
, , ,
Nor^a|ny of | his false | confed|erates.
BEDFORD
, ,
, , ,
'Tis thought | Lord^Tal|bot, when | the fight |
began,
, ,
, , ,
Roused on | the sud|den from | their drow|sy
beds,
, ,
, , ,
They did | amongst | the troops | of arm|ed men,
, ,
, ,
,
Leap^ore | the walls | for ref|uge in | the
field.
BURGUNDY
, ,
, , ,
Myself,| as far | as I | could well | discern,
, ,
, , ,
For smoke,| and dus|ky vap|ors of | the night,
, ,
, , ,
Am sure | I scared | the Dauph|in and | his
trull,
, ,
, , ,
->
When arm | in arm | they both | came swift|ly
run||ning,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Like | to a pair | of lov|ing turt|le-doves,
, ,
, ,
,
That could | not live | asund|er day | or night.
,
, , ,
,
After | that things | are set | in ord|er here,
, ,
, ,
,
We'll fol|low them | with all | the power | we
have.

Nere trust / me then:| for when | a world | of
