Act V, Scene 2

France. Plains in Anjou.

[Enter CHARLES, BURGUNDY, ALENCON, BASTARD OF] [p]ORLEANS, REIGNIER, JOAN LA PUCELLE, and forces]

• Charles, King of France. These news, my lord, may cheer our drooping spirits:
  'Tis said the stout Parisians do revolt
  And turn again unto the warlike French. 2425

• Duke of Alencon. Then march to Paris, royal Charles of France,
  And keep not back your powers in dalliance.

• Joan la Pucelle. Peace be amongst them, if they turn to us;
  Else, ruin combat with their palaces!

[Enter Scout]

• Scout. Success unto our valiant general,
  And happiness to his accomplices!

• Charles, King of France. What tidings send our scouts? I prithee, speak.

• Scout. The English army, that divided was
  Into two parties, is now conjoined in one, 2435
  And means to give you battle presently.

• Charles, King of France. Somewhat too sudden, sirs, the warning is;
  But we will presently provide for them.

• Duke of Burgundy. I trust the ghost of Talbot is not there:
  Now he is gone, my lord, you need not fear. 2440

• Joan la Pucelle. Of all base passions, fear is most accursed.
  Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine,
  Let Henry fret and all the world repine.

• Charles, King of France. Then on, my lords; and France be fortunate!

[Exeunt]
