And all the troops of English after him。
French march。 Enter the DUKE OF BURGUNDY and his forces
Now in the rearward comes the Duke and his。 Fortune in favour
makes him lag behind。 Summon a parley； we will talk with him。
＇Trumpets sound a parley＇ CHARLES。 A parley with the Duke of
Burgundy！ BURGUNDY。 Who craves a parley with the Burgundy？
PUCELLE。 The princely Charles of France； thy countryman。

BURGUNDY。 What say'st thou； Charles？ for I am marching hence。
CHARLES。 Speak； Pucelle； and enchant him with thy words。 PUCELLE。
Brave Burgundy； undoubted hope of France！ Stay； let thy humble
handmaid speak to thee。 BURGUNDY。 Speak on； but be not over…tedious。
PUCELLE。 Look on thy country； look on fertile France； And see the cities
and the towns defac'd By wasting ruin of the cruel foe； As looks the
mother on her lowly babe When death doth close his tender dying eyes；
See； see the pining malady of France； Behold the wounds； the most
unnatural wounds； Which thou thyself hast given her woeful breast。 O；
turn thy edged sword another way； Strike those that hurt； and hurt not
those that help！ One drop of blood drawn from thy country's bosom
Should grieve thee more than streams of foreign gore。 Return thee
therefore with a flood of tears； And wash away thy country's stained spots。
BURGUNDY。 Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words； Or nature
makes me suddenly relent。 PUCELLE。 Besides； all French and France
exclaims on thee； Doubting thy birth and lawful progeny。 Who join'st thou
with but with a lordly nation That will not trust thee but for profit's sake？
When Talbot hath set footing once in France； And fashion'd thee that
instrument of ill； Who then but English Henry will be lord； And thou be
thrust out like a fugitive？ Call we to mind…and mark but this for proof：
Was not the Duke of Orleans thy foe？ And was he not in England prisoner？
But when they heard he was thine enemy They set him free without his
ransom paid； In spite of Burgundy and all his friends。 See then； thou
fight'st against thy countrymen； And join'st with them will be thy
slaughtermen。 Come； come； return； return； thou wandering lord； Charles
and the rest will take thee in their arms。 BURGUNDY。 I am vanquished；
these haughty words of hers Have batt'red me like roaring cannon…shot
And made me almost yield upon my knees。 Forgive me； country； and
sweet countrymen And； lords； accept this hearty kind embrace。 My forces
and my power of men are yours； So； farewell； Talbot； I'll no longer trust
thee。 PUCELLE。 Done like a Frenchman… ＇Aside＇ turn and turn again。
CHARLES。 Welcome； brave Duke！ Thy friendship makes us fresh。
BASTARD。 And doth beget new courage in our breasts。 ALENCON。
Pucelle hath bravely play'd her part in this； And doth deserve a coronet of

gold。 CHARLES。 Now let us on； my lords； and join our powers； And seek
how we may prejudice the foe。 Exeunt

your Majesty； my liege。 KING HENRY。 Welcome； brave captain and
victorious lord！ When I was young； as yet I am not old； I do remember
how my father said A stouter champion never handled sword。 Long since
we were resolved of your truth； Your faithful service； and your toil in war；
Yet never have you tasted our reward； Or been reguerdon'd with so much

our coronation take your place。 Sennet。 Flourish。 Exeunt all but VERNON
and BASSET VERNON。 Now； sir； to you； that were so hot at sea；
Disgracing of these colours that I wear In honour of my noble Lord of
York Dar'st thou maintain the former words thou spak'st？ BASSET。 Yes；
sir； as well as you dare patronage The envious barking of your saucy
tongue Against my lord the Duke of Somerset。 VERNON。 Sirrah； thy lord
I honour as he is。 BASSET。 Why； what is he？ As good a man as York！
VERNON。 Hark ye： not so。 In witness； take ye that。 ＇Strikes him＇
BASSET。 Villain； thou knowest the law of arms is such That whoso draws
a sword 'tis present death； Or else this blow should broach thy dearest
blood。 But I'll unto his Majesty and crave I may have liberty to venge this
wrong； When thou shalt see I'll meet thee to thy cost。 VERNON。 Well；
