fall down with a pinch; But rather; moody…mad and desperate stags; Turn
on the bloody hounds with heads of steel And make the cowards stand
aloof at bay。 Sell every man his life as dear as mine; And they shall find
dear deer of us; my friends。 God and Saint George; Talbot and England's
right; Prosper our colours in this dangerous fight! Exeunt

SCENE 3。
Plains in Gascony
Enter YORK; with trumpet and many soldiers。 A MESSENGER
meets him
YORK。 Are not the speedy scouts return'd again That dogg'd the
mighty army of the Dauphin? MESSENGER。 They are return'd; my lord;
and give it out That he is march'd to Bordeaux with his power To fight
with Talbot; as he march'd along; By your espials were discovered Two
mightier troops than that the Dauphin led; Which join'd with him and
made their march for Bordeaux。 YORK。 A plague upon that villain
Somerset That thus delays my promised supply Of horsemen that were
levied for this siege! Renowned Talbot doth expect my aid; And I am
louted by a traitor villain And cannot help the noble chevalier。 God
comfort him in this necessity! If he miscarry; farewell wars in France。
Enter SIR WILLIAM LUCY
LUCY。 Thou princely leader of our English strength; Never so
needful on the earth of France; Spur to the rescue of the noble Talbot; Who
now is girdled with a waist of iron And hemm'd about with grim
destruction。 To Bordeaux; warlike Duke! to Bordeaux; York! Else;
farewell Talbot; France; and England's honour。 YORK。 O God; that
Somerset; who in proud heart Doth stop my cornets; were in Talbot's place!
So should we save a valiant gentleman By forfeiting a traitor and a coward。
Mad ire and wrathful fury makes me weep That thus we die while remiss
traitors sleep。 LUCY。 O; send some succour to the distress'd lord! YORK。
He dies; we lose; I break my warlike word。 We mourn: France smiles。 We
lose: they daily get… All long of this vile traitor Somerset。 LUCY。 Then
God take mercy on brave Talbot's soul; And on his son; young John; who
two hours since I met in travel toward his warlike father。 This seven years
did not Talbot see his son; And now they meet where both their lives are
done。 YORK。 Alas; what joy shall noble Talbot have To bid his young son
welcome to his grave? Away! vexation almost stops my breath; That
sund'red friends greet in the hour of death。 Lucy; farewell; no more my
fortune can But curse the cause I cannot aid the man。 Maine; Blois;

Poictiers; and Tours; are won away Long all of Somerset and his delay。
Exit with forces LUCY。 Thus; while the vulture of sedition Feeds in the
bosom of such great commanders; Sleeping neglection doth betray to loss
The conquest of our scarce cold conqueror; That ever…living man of
memory; Henry the Fifth。 Whiles they each other cross; Lives; honours;
lands; and all; hurry to loss。 Exit

SCENE 4。
Other plains of Gascony
Enter SOMERSET; With his forces; an OFFICER of TALBOT'S with
him
SOMERSET。 It is too late; I cannot send them now。 This expedition
was by York and Talbot Too rashly plotted; all our general force Might
with a sally of the very town Be buckled with。 The over daring Talbot
Hath sullied all his gloss of former honour By this unheedful; desperate;
wild adventure。 York set him on to fight and die in shame。 That; Talbot
dead; great York might bear the name。 OFFICER。 Here is Sir William
Lucy; who with me Set from our o'er…match'd forces forth for aid。
Enter SIR WILLIAM LUCY
SOMERSET。 How now; Sir William! Whither were you sent? LUCY。
Whither; my lord! From bought and sold Lord Talbot; Who; ring'd about
with bold adversity; Cries out for noble York and Somerset To beat
assailing death from his weak legions; And whiles the honourable captain
there Drops bloody sweat from his war…wearied limbs And; in advantage
ling'ring; looks for rescue; You; his false hopes; the trust of England's
honour; Keep off aloof with worthless emulation。 Let not your private
discord keep away The levied succours that should lend him aid; While he;
renowned noble gentleman; Yield up his life unto a world of odds。 Orleans
the Bastard; Charles; Burgundy; Alencon; Reignier; compass him about;
And Talbot perisheth by your default。 SOMERSET。 York set him on; York
should have sent him aid。 LUCY。 And York as fast upon your Grace
exclaims; Swearing that you withhold his levied host; Collected for this
expedition。 SOMERSET。 York lies; he might have sent and had the horse。
I owe him little duty and less love; And take foul scorn to fawn on him by
sending。 LUCY。 The fraud of England; not the force of France; Hath now
entrapp'd the noble minded Talbot。 Never to England shall he bear his life;
But dies betray'd to fortune by your strife。 SOMERSET。 Come; go; I will
dispatch the horsemen straight; Within six hours they will be at his aid。
LUCY。 Too late comes rescue; he is ta'en or slain; For fly he could not if
he would have fled; And fly would Talbot never; though he might。

SOMERSET。 If he be dead; brave Talbot; then; adieu! LUCY。 His fame
lives in the world; his shame in you。 Exeunt

The English camp near Bordeaux
Enter TALBOT and JOHN his son
TALBOT。 O young John Talbot! I did send for thee To tutor thee in
stratagems of war; That Talbot's name might be in thee
