Henry V
| ACT IV SCENE V | Another part of the field. | |
| Enter Constable, ORLEANS, BOURBON, DAUPHIN, and RAMBURES | ||
| Constable | O diable! | |
| ORLEANS | O seigneur! le jour est perdu, tout est perdu! | |
| DAUPHIN | Mort de ma vie! all is confounded, all! | |
| Reproach and everlasting shame | 5 | |
| Sits mocking in our plumes. O merchante fortune! | ||
| Do not run away. | ||
| A short alarum. | ||
| Constable | Why, all our ranks are broke. | |
| DAUPHIN | O perdurable shame! let’s stab ourselves. | |
| Be these the wretches that we play’d at dice for? | 10 | |
| ORLEANS | Is this the king we sent to for his ransom? | |
| BOURBON | Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame! | |
| Let us 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, | 15 | |
| Like a base pander, hold the chamber-door | ||
| Whilst by a slave, no gentler than my dog, | ||
| His fairest daughter is contaminated. | ||
| Constable | Disorder, that hath spoil’d us, friend us now! | |
| Let us on heaps go offer up our lives. | 20 | |
| ORLEANS | We are enow yet living in the field | |
| To smother up the English in our throngs, | ||
| If any order might be thought upon. | ||
| BOURBON | The devil take order now! I’ll to the throng: | |
| Let life be short; else shame will be too long. | 25 | |
| Exeunt |
