King Henry VI, First Part. Уильям Шекспир

I 'll to yond corner.

BURGUNDY

      And I to this.

TALBOT

      And here will Talbot mount, or make his grave.

      Now, Salisbury, for thee, and for the right

      Of English Henry, shall this night appear

      How much in duty I am bound to both.

SENTINEL

      Arm! arm! the enemy doth make assault!

      [Cry: 'St George,' 'A Talbot.']

      [The French leap over the walls in their shirts.

      Enter, several ways, the Bastard of Orleans, Alencon, and

      Reignier, half ready, and half unready.]

ALENCON

      How now, my lords! what, all unready so?

BASTARD

      Unready! aye, and glad we 'scap'd so well.

REIGNIER

      'Twas time, I trow, to wake and leave our beds,

      Hearing alarums at our chamber-doors.

ALENCON

      Of all exploits since first I follow'd arms,

      Ne'er heard I of a warlike enterprise

      More venturous or desperate than this.

BASTARD

      I think this Talbot be a fiend of hell.

REIGNIER

      If not of hell, the heavens, sure, favor him.

ALENCON

      Here cometh Charles: I marvel how he sped.

BASTARD

      Tut, holy Joan was his defensive guard.

      [Enter Charles and La Pucelle.]

CHARLES

      Is this thy cunning, thou deceitful dame?

      Didst thou at first, to flatter us withal,

      Make us partakers of a little gain,

      That now our loss might be ten times so much?

PUCELLE

      Wherefore is Charles impatient with his friend?

      At all times will you have my power alike?

      Sleeping or waking must I still prevail,
