ARKCODEX
Act IV, Scene 5
1Another part of the field of battle.
2Enter Constable, Orleans, Bourbon, Dauphin, and Rambures.
3ConstableO diable!
4OrleansO seigneur! le jour est perdu, tout est perdu!
5DauphinMort de ma vie! all is confounded, all!
Reproach and everlasting shame
Sits mocking in our plumes. O méchante fortune!
Do not run away. A short alarum.
6ConstableWhy, all our ranks are broke.
7DauphinO perdurable shame! let’s stab ourselves.
Be these the wretches that we play’d at dice for?
8OrleansIs this the king we sent to for his ransom?
9BourbonShame and eternal shame, nothing but shame!
Let’s die in honour: once more back again;
And he that will not follow Bourbon now,
Let him go hence, and with his cap in hand,
Like a base pandar, hold the chamber-door
Whilst by a slave, no gentler than my dog,
His fairest daughter is contaminated.
10ConstableDisorder, that hath spoil’d us, friend us now!
Let us on heaps go offer up our lives.
11OrleansWe are enough yet living in the field
To smother up the English in our throngs,
If any order might be thought upon.
12BourbonThe devil take order now! I’ll to the throng;
Let life be short; else shame will be too long. Exeunt.
