Chapter 22 first act

Westminster Abbey Play the funeral mourning music.Enter the funeral procession of KING HENRY V. Enter Mourners BEFORE, GLOUCESTER, EXETER, WARRICK, WINCHESTER, MECHANISM, and others. Peifu made the sky a black curtain, and told the day to give way to the night!Comets that herald the ups and downs of the times and the rise and fall of nations, I hope you wave your radiant tails in the air!Use your tails to whip those vicious and rebellious stars to punish them for their crimes of watching their ancestors die!Our late king, Henry V, was too famous to live forever!Of England's dead kings, who was more noble than him?

In the history of Gloucester England, he is the only true Lord.His virtue is enough to convince the crowd; the brilliance of his sword that he swung makes people dare not look at him; his outstretched arms are wider than dragon wings; his eyes are more powerful than the sun at noon. Dazed and dazed, his foe fled.What should I say?Words cannot describe his deeds; he conquered the world with ease. Exeter We mourn in mourning, why don't we mourn with blood?The former king feasted, and could never return to the world.We follow the coffin like captives chained to the enemy's victorious chariot, and it is as if we honor Death's ignominious victory by our solemn procession.Hey, are we done just cursing the scourges that ruined our glory?But let us seriously consider how to punish those cunning French wizards, because they feared the late king, and used witchcraft and charms to deprive him of his life.

Winchester Our late king was blessed by the King of Kings.When the French saw him, they trembled with terror, even more than at the Last Judgment.The former king begged for heaven, and the prayers of our church made his country prosperous. Gloucester what church!Where is the church?If it weren't for your group of monks praying wildly, he would not have such a short life.What you like the most is the weak young master, who can be manipulated by you like a primary school student. Gloucester, Winchester, whatever we like, you are Lord Protector, and the crown prince and the country are all in your hands.Your wife is a haughty woman, and she has made you more submissive than God or a priest.

Gross especially mentions the church, you love the pleasures of the flesh, and you don't see you enter the door of the church all year round, except to curse your enemies. Bradford, stop your quarreling and be kind.Let us go to the altar; ministers, attend us.We do not sacrifice gold and silver, but we offer our weapons, for the former king is dead and weapons are useless.People of future generations, wait for a hard life.Babies will suck tears from their mother's wet eyes, and our island nation will be a marsh of salt tears, and all men will die, leaving only the women to cry for the dead.Henry V, my late king, I beseech you in the spirit of heaven to bless this land with peace and prosperity, do not let civil war happen, and drive back all the disaster stars in the sky!Your spirit is a bright star, and your brilliance far exceeds Julius Caesar and any shining...

Enter an envoy. Messengers, my lords, I wish you peace and prosperity!From France I bring you sad news of losses, massacres, defeats: Guyne, Champagne, Reims, Orléans, Paris, Guissa, Boadie are all fallen. Mr. Peifu, what did you say before the old Wang's spirit?Be quiet, otherwise, the news of the fall of these famous cities will cause the old prince to smash the lead coffin lid and crawl out of the coffin. Is Groquet Paris lost?Has Rouen surrendered?If Lao Wang really came back to life, he would die after hearing such bad news. How were these cities of Exeter lost?What trick did they use?

The messenger had no tricks; it was just a lack of soldiers and money.The soldiers are all talking about it, saying that there are different factions here, and they are still hesitant and quarreling at such a decisive moment: one wants to save money, and would rather prolong the war; Wings; the claim of the third is that it costs nothing but sweet words to win peace.Wake up, wake up, noblemen of England!Do not linger any longer and let your newfound glory be overshadowed.The fleur-de-lys that adorns your armor has been clipped off, and the coat of arms of England has been clipped in half. Exeter If we had not wept at the funeral, We should have wept at these sad tidings.

It is my duty as minister in charge of French affairs.I will throw away these ignominious mourning clothes, and put on my uniform, and fight to defend the lands in France.I will let the Frenchmen have more wounds like eyes, so that they can exchange blood and tears, and mourn their endless disasters. Enter another messenger. Messenger B, gentlemen, please read these letters full of disasters.France, with the exception of a few insignificant small towns, has betrayed England in its entirety.The Dauphin Charles was on the throne of France at Rimes; the bastard of Orléans was at his side; Renier, Duke of Anjou, offered his patronage; the Duke of Alençon had joined him.

The prince of Exeter has ascended the throne!Everyone went to him!Alas, in the face of such disgrace, where shall we go? Gloucester We run nowhere save to the throat of the enemy.If you hesitate, Peifu, I will go out myself. Have you any doubts, Bedford Gloucester, of my courageous character?I was already planning in my mind how to gather an army and travel all over France. Enter Messenger C. Messenger C, benevolent adults, when you are shedding tears for the body of the old king, I can't help but add to your troubles.I am obliged to report to you the defeat of the valiant Lord Talbot by the French.

What about Winchester!Did Talbot succumb in battle?Is that so? Messenger C Well, he did not yield; Lord Talbot was broken in war.Please allow me to elaborate on the situation at that time.On the 10th of August, when this majestic lord withdrew from the siege of Orléans, he had not six thousand men under his command, while the enemy surrounding him numbered twenty-three thousand.He didn't have time to form the formation; he couldn't get the wooden fence to cover the archers, so he could only remove some pointed wood grass from the fence and insert it on the ground to replace the fence and serve as an obstacle to defend against the cavalry attack.The battle went on for three hours; and the heroic Talbot performed a feat with a superman's movement of his spear and sword: a hundred of his enemies were killed by his spear and sword, and he was invincible in his charge.The French descended as a demon, and the whole enemy was terrified at the sight of him.Encouraged by him, our soldiers cheered "Talbo! Talbo!" in unison, rushing to their hearts.The day would have been a solidly successful one, had Sir Forstoff not been so cowardly.According to the deployment of the battle, Sir Faustoff's team stayed behind to take on the task of responding, but unexpectedly he fled cowardly without fighting a battle.This caused the whole army to collapse, to fall into the enemy's siege, and to be massacred.A shameless man named Varoun, in order to win the favor of the French prince, shot him in the back from Talbot; this hero of the world, even the whole of France concentrated the best troops and dared not face him. , but unexpectedly, he was conspired in this way.

Is Beverly Talbot dead?If such a noble commander should be plotted against by a cowardly enemy because of his exhaustion, and I enjoy honor, I would rather kill myself. Messenger C, he's not killed, he's alive, but he's taken prisoner, with Lord Scales and Lord Hungerford.The rest were either killed or captured. BEFORE His ransom will be no one else's but mine, and I will drag the Dauphin of France from his throne, and give his crown to my friend's ransom.I will exchange four generals captured from the French army for one of our generals.Farewell, my lords; I will go at once to take care of the expedition.I'm going to light the fireworks in France, where we celebrate our great St. George's Day.I will lead an army of ten thousand, and what will be done there with blood will shake all Europe.

Messenger C I'm afraid it must be so; Orléans is still under siege, and the English army is growing weary.The Earl of Salisbury was eager for reinforcements. Due to his weak force, he found it very difficult to prevent the morale of the army from being distracted under the situation of being outnumbered. My lords of Exeter, remember your oath to old King Henry, that you said, that if you would not destroy the Dauphin of France, you would compel him to surrender. Buff I remember.I bid farewell to everyone now, and pack up and set off immediately. (Down.) Gloucester I'll go to the Tower of London as soon as I can to inspect the guns and ammunition, and then I'll proclaim the young Lord Henry on the throne. (Down.) Exeter I'm going to Eltham House, where the new king resides.I was appointed as his attendant minister, so I should try my best to protect his safety. (Down.) Winchester They each have a position and business to do, and I'm left alone with nothing to do.But I am not a lonely person.I intend to coax the new king out of Eltham Palace, so that I can sit on the highest helm of the country's destiny. (same below.) Second France.front of orleans Trumpets play coloratura.Entre Dauphin Charles, Alençon, Rainier with drums and soldiers. What course the planet Charles Mars took on earth, as he did in heaven, is as yet impossible to guess; not so long ago he shone over the heads of the English, and now we Being the winner, he was smiling at us.Which important city is not in our hands now?We're stationed near Orleans, and we're at ease!The hungry ghosts of England, like pale phantoms, can only now and then lay a feeble siege upon us. The Brits of Alençon are greedy fellows who love soup and fatty beef.You have to feed them like mules, with fodder tied to their mouths, or they'll be like drowned rats, drooping. Rainier tells us to go at once to relieve the siege of Orléans, why stay here?We've got the Talbot we've been dreading, and there's only that fool Salisbury left.There he could only be in a hurry. He had neither soldiers nor money in his hands, so he couldn't fight the war. Charlie bid them beat the drums!We are going to attack them.For the honor of our wandering people of France, attack!Whoever sees me take a step back draws his sword and kills me, and I will never blame him. (same below.) The drums were beating inside; the two armies clashed, and the French army retreated.Re-enter Charlie, Alençon and Rainier. Charlie who ever saw such a thing?The people under me are all a group of people!They're all puppies!coward!coward!I didn't want to run away, but they left me among the enemies. Rainier Salisbury was such a desperado that he fought as if he had had enough.The rest of the generals, like hungry lions, regarded us as their prey. Fuwasa, a historian in Alençon, wrote such a record. He said that during the reign of King Edward III of England, there were fierce generals like clouds and soldiers like rain. Now it seems that this statement is true.The soldiers they sent out were all like giants, one could count as ten.These scrawny villains!Who would have expected them to be so brave and good at fighting? Charlie, let's get out of here quickly. Those slaves who act rashly will work harder because of hunger.I have known their character for a long time. They would rather gnaw down the wall with their teeth than retreat the besieging soldiers. Rainier I guess their arms must be like the gavels on chime clocks, they must be fitted with some kind of mechanism, and they can strike automatically, otherwise, how can they keep going?In my humble opinion, it's better not to mess with them. Alencon I agree too. Enter the Bastard of Orleans. Where is His Royal Highness, the bastard?I have something important to report to him. My lord Charles Orleans, I welcome you here very much. Bastard, I see that His Highness seems a little unhappy, your joy has disappeared, is it because of the recent defeat?And please rest assured, Your Highness, we have a savior.I have brought a saint, who was inspired by heaven to come and rescue this dangerous city, and drive the British soldiers from our borders.She has a very deep Taoism, which is higher than that of the Nine Heavens Fairy in ancient Rome.No matter in the past or the present, she sees everything clearly.Your Highness, please decree, can I lead her to meet her?Please believe my report, there is no falsehood. Well Charlie, bring her to meet me. (Exit the bastard) Let us test her first, Renier, for the time being, you pretend to be the Dauphin, and take up the airs to talk to her. You have to put on a very dignified appearance, so that you can test whether she is Do it. (Retreats behind the stage.) The bastard of Orleans quotes Joan of Arc above. Rainier, good girl, are you to undertake this extraordinary task? Jeanne Rainier, are you going to trick me?Where is the prince?Hey, please come out from the back.Although I have never met you, I am familiar with you.Don't be surprised, everything in the world can't be hidden from me.Please screen to the left and right, I want to talk to you alone.My lords, please step back for now, let me talk to the prince. Rainier, she started with style. Prince Joan of Arc, I was born the daughter of a shepherd, and I have no education.But God and the merciful Mother have favored me, and shine their glory on my humble origins.One day, while I was tending my gentle flock, my cheeks were exposed to the hot sun, the Holy Mother suddenly appeared to me in a majestic vision, and ordered me to leave my humble occupation and save our country from disaster. .She promised me support and guaranteed victory.Her image is full of glory.I was born dark, but she injected me with holy light and transformed me into a beautiful woman, as you see now.Please ask me any questions, I can answer them fluently without thinking.If you have the courage to compete with me, you can try my bravery, and you will find that I am by no means comparable to ordinary women.As long as you make up your mind and become comrades-in-arms with me, I guarantee that you will have no disadvantages. Charlie, your tone of voice has surprised me.I just have to try your courage again. I want to fight you alone. If you win, I believe that what you say is true, otherwise you will not have my trust. Joan of Arc I'm ready.This is my sharp sword, with five lilies engraved on both sides.I picked this sword out of a pile of scrap metal in the back yard of St. Catherine's Chapel in Tourenne. Charlie Come, in God's name; women don't frighten me. Joan of Arc I will never back down from men as long as I have breath. The two played against each other, and Joan of Arc won. Charlie stop it, stop it!Thou art a heroine, with a sword better than Deborah. Joan of Arc, I have the support of the Holy Mother, otherwise, I would not have such strength. Charlie No matter who helped you, you must help me anyway.My heart burns with love for you, you have not only subdued my hand, you have subdued my heart.If these two words are your name, Joan of Arc, beyond all ranks, think of me not as your lord, but as your servant.The Dauphin of France woos you here. Joan of Arc, I came here to save the world according to God's will, and I can't talk about personal relationships with my children at this moment; I will talk to you about my heartfelt love when I clean up the smoke in the country. Charlie All I ask is that you show me a little pity for my servant who prostrates before you. Rainier I think our hero has talked long enough. Alençon, he listened to the woman's report and heard her go into the clothes that stuck to the flesh, otherwise how could he stretch the conversation for so long. Rainier Since he is so intemperate, will you call him? Alençon always has his reasons, we poor people can't figure it out.This kind of woman can be charming with her sharp tongue. Monsieur Renier, where are you?What are you thinking about?Are we giving up on Orleans, eh? Where is Joan, you suspicious cowards!Of course don't give up, I said.Fight to the last breath, I will be your guardian. I agree with what Charlie said, and we will fight to the end. Joan of Arc, I was ordered by heaven to attack the British, and I will definitely rescue Orleans tonight.As soon as I join the war, the days of peace will come soon.Glory is like a splash on the water, changing from a small circle to a big circle, expanding continuously until it can no longer be bigger and disappears.With the death of King Henry, the circle of honor in England was finished, and all the glory in the circle disappeared.I am like that majestic tall ship on which Caesar and his good fortune are loaded. ④ Charlie said that Muhammad was imparted to him by a dove, so it must be an eagle who imparted the will to you.Whether it is Constantine the Great's Queen Helena⑤, or the daughters of St. Philip⑥, no one can compare with you.Si Li, the goddess of beauty and love who descended from the sky, no matter how much I worship you, I can't express my love for you! Alençon, don't delay any longer, it's important to hurry to get rid of the siege. Listen, woman Rainier, save our honour, and drive the enemy from Orléans, and your name will be immortal. Charlie, let's try it right away, come on, let's do it right away.If her words do not come true, I will never believe in prophets in the future. (same below.) Third London.Tower of London Gloucester came to the tower gate with his blue uniformed bodyguards. Gloucester I have come here today to inspect the Tower of London.Since the death of old King Henry, I have been very worried about some conspiracy.Where have all the guards gone, why aren't they on duty here?Open the door, for I, the Lord of Gloucester, call. (Soldiers knock on the door.) First Guard (Inside) Who's making such a fuss knocking on the door? First Soldier It is the honorable Lord Gloucester who calls. Guard B (inside) No matter who it is, don't try to come in. Soldier A bastard, is this how you responded to Lord Protector? Guard A (inside) Let God protect him!That's how we echoed his words.We do what we are told to do. Gloucester at whose order?Whose orders count but mine?I am the only Duke Protector in the court.Open the door quickly, I promise you can't go wrong.Could it be that a group of dungmen dare to play tricks in front of me? (Gloucester's guards rush to the gate of the tower, and Woodville, the captain of the tower guard, is in white.) Woodville (in) What's the matter shouting like that?Who wants to rebel here? Do you hear your voice, Captain of the Gloucester Guard?Open the door, the Duke wants to come in. Woodville (in) I'm sorry, my lord, but I can't open the door, the Cardinal of Winchester has ordered me not to open it.He specifically ordered me not to let you and your men in. Gloucester bewildered Woodville, do you value him more than I?That bold Winchester, that unscrupulous bishop whom the old king never tolerated?In doing so, you have offended both God and the king.Open the door quickly, or I'll throw you out immediately. Personal Soldier A opened the door and let the Duke Protector enter.If you don't hurry up, we're going to rush in. Enter Winchester leading the bodyguard in brown uniforms. What is the matter with Winchester, ambitious Humphrey!How is this going? Gloucester bare-headed monk, did you order them to shut me out? Winchester is me.Where are you the protector of our court?It would be better to say that you are a thief who has seized power and usurped the throne. Gloucester stand down, you blatant plotter, You have evil plans to kill the old king, You let whores do their crimes7.If you continue this absurdity, I'll put you in your broad-brimmed cardinal hat, and throw you up and down. Winchester said nonsense, if you step back, I will not back down even a single step.If you dare, take this place as Damascus, and play the part of Cain, the criminal who killed his own brother. Gloucester I will not kill you, but drive you back.I'm going to use your big red robe as a swaddle for baptism, and carry you away from here. Winchester, do as you please, and I'll shave you to my face. Gloucester what!You provoke me, you shave me?Guardsmen, draw your swords and defend this privileged zone.Blue livery against brown livery.Monk, pay attention to your beard, I will grab your beard and give you a good beating. (Gloucester and his men attack the cardinal) I'll put your cardinal's hat under my feet.Regardless of the Pope and the authority in the Church, I'm going to twist your cheeks and drag you around. Gloucester, Winchester, let's see what you say to the Pope when you play this nonsense. Gloucester whore, I say, put him on, put on!Drive them away, why do you keep them here?You wolf in sheep's clothing, I will drive you away.Go away, fellow in brown livery!Go away, hypocrites in big red robes! Gloucester's bodyguard repulses the cardinal's bodyguard.Enter the Mayor of London with his officials during the melee. Mayor O my lords!Why are you senior officials not afraid of embarrassment and openly disturbing the law and order! What Gloucester says about law and order, mayor!You don't know how angry I am.Beaufort, who has no God, no king, owns the Tower of London. Winchester This Gloucester is the enemy of the people, who provokes wars and breaks the peace, who squeezes your free men out of the pockets with harsh fines, who seeks to overthrow the Church.When he became the protector of the country, he wanted to get the weapons in the tower so that he could persecute the prince and usurp the throne. Gloucester I answer you not with tongues, but with fists. (The two sides fought again.) I have no other choice if the mayor continues to make trouble like this, so I have to give them a public announcement.Come on, clerk, raise your voice and proclaim.louder please. Officials, all who have assembled here with weapons to disturb the peace of God and the King, listen: I charge and order you in the name of His Majesty the King to return to your own residences, and you must not carry and use any sword, dagger or Other weapons, offenders shall be executed. Cardinal of Gloucester, I will not break the law, I shall meet you again some day, and let us speak freely. We shall meet again, Winchester Gloucester; no doubt, it will be your loss.You are so rampant and domineering today, I will make you shed the blood of your heart. Mayor, if you don't go away, I'm going to tell them to use batons.This cardinal is more unreasonable than the devil. Goodbye, Mayor of Gloucester, you're playing by the book. Winchester Poor Gloucester, watch your head.It won't be long before I have to take it off. (Gloucester and Winchester lead their own soldiers separately.) The mayor checks to see if there are any idlers, and we are leaving too.My God, why are these nobles so troublesome!I haven't had a single fight in forty years. (same below.) Fourth France.front of orleans The artillery captain and his son went up to the top of the city. Artillery captain, boy, do you know the siege of Orléans?Our suburbs are all occupied by the British. I know it all, son and father; I shot at them many times, but I had bad luck and missed. Artillery Captain Now you won't miss.You do as I tell you; I'm captain of the artillery of the town, and I must do something good.Our lord's scouts told me that the British have surrounded us outside the city, and they are always spying on our city through a secret hole in the iron lattice of a tower, trying to find out the most expedient way, either by cannon fire, or Use charge to harass us.To keep them from trouble, I've set a cannon on that tower; and I've been watching them these three days, and strike when they show themselves.Now I'm going to take a walk elsewhere, and let you watch for the time being.As soon as you see any movement, run and tell me, and you can find me when you go to the commander. (Down.) Father, son, I assure you; rest easy; if I see them, I will not miss you. (Down.) Salisbury, Talbot, William Glenstall, Thomas Gargrave, etc. ascended the tower. Salisbury Talbot, I see you again, and my vigor, my joy, are restored!How were you treated during your captivity?How did you get released?I beg you, on top of this tower, talk to me. The Duke of Talbot Buff took a captive, a gallant Lord Ponton de Santlet, and redeemed me by exchanging him for me.They tried to replace me with someone with a much lower status. That was to humiliate me. How could I put such a person in their eyes?I would rather die than suffer such contempt.Later, I was finally redeemed according to my request.But, well, that perfidious Faustov really breaks my heart, and if I could get him back now, I'd beat him with my fists. Salisbury But you haven't told me how you've been treated. Talbot They dragged me to the middle of the street, and abused me in every possible way, to make me lose face in front of the people.They also said, "This guy is our French enemy, the scarecrow who frightens our children." Then I broke free from the hands of the officers who imprisoned me, and used my nails to dig out the stones on the ground. Throw it at the audience who are watching me make a fool of myself.Seeing how fierce I was, they all ran away in fright, and none of them dared to approach me, lest they die unexpectedly.They didn't feel at ease shutting me in the iron wall, because my reputation had already overwhelmed them. They even thought that I could break steel bars and smash granite pillars into powder.They therefore sent a select group of marksmen to serve as my guards, who patrolled around me every minute, and would shoot right through my heart if I turned over and fell out of bed. The son of the artillery captain is holding a matchlock on the pole. Salisbury I am sorry to hear of what you have suffered, and we must avenge you.Now it's supper time in Orleans, and lo, I can see the French, and their fortifications, through this sash.Let's take a look, you will find it funny when you see the situation over there.Sir Gargrave, Sir Glenstall, I would like to ask you both, where is the best place for our battery hereafter? Gargrave I think it's best to put it at the north gate, because their heads are all gathered there. Glenstall can be installed on bridgeheads in my opinion. From what I've seen, Talbot judges that the town is short of provisions, and their strength is weakened after these little battles. (Salisbury and Gargrave both fall to the ground as the towers are fired from the city.) Lord Salisbury, have mercy on us poor sinners! Lord Gargrave, have mercy on me, a wretched man! How did Talbot have this sudden disaster?Speak, Salisbury.You are a role model soldier, if you can still speak, at least let us know if you can still do it?You lost one eye and one cheek!The accursed tower!And the accursed murderer!Salisbury fought thirteen victories, and our old king had his military lessons with him.As long as the trumpets are blowing and the drums are sounding, his broadsword never rests on the battlefield.Salisbury, are you alive?Although you can't speak anymore, you still have one eye to look at God and get God's blessing.Doesn't the sun look at the whole world with one eye?Good heavens, if Salisbury doesn't have your mercy, you don't have to bless any living man!Carry his body there, and I will attend to his funeral myself.Sir Gargrave, are you alive?Say it to Talbot.Alas, you can't speak, just look at him.Be assured, Salisbury, that your death will not be in vain, if--he was still waving and smiling at me, as if to say: "When I die, don't forget to replace me on the Frenchman's body." Revenge." Plantagenet, I will avenge you.I want to be like Nero in Rome, playing the lute while looking at the burning city.As long as I am here, France will suffer. (A sound of drums and horns, thunder and lightning in the sky) What's the matter with this commotion?Why is the sky in such a mess?Where did the sound of drums and horns and the commotion come from? Enter an envoy. Messenger, my lord, the French have increased.A newly-appeared female sage, Joan of Arc, supported the French prince and led a large army to rescue Orleans. (Salisbury raises himself, groaning.) Talbot Hear, how miserable it is to hear Salisbury's dying groans!He couldn't avenge him, and his heart must be very sad.Listen, Frenchmen, Salisbury is dead, and me!No matter Joan of Arc, no matter the needle, no matter the crown prince, no matter the marbles, I will trample out your heart and lungs with my horseshoe, and I will smash your brains into a thin paste.Carry Salisbury to his tent for me, and we'll see what these cowardly Frenchmen dare to do. (Exit all the corpses.) The fifth game is the same as before.outside the city gate Drums and horns.The two armies are at war.Talbot goes after the French Dauphin.Afterwards, Joan went up after chasing the British army, and went down together after going around the field.After a while, Talbot re-entered. Talbot Where are my brawn, my courage, my strength?We British troops fell back, and I couldn't stop them, a woman in armor and armor was chasing them. Re-enter Jeanne. Talbot Hey, here she comes.I want to fight you.Whether you are a male ghost or a female ghost, I will exorcise you, an evil spirit.Since you are a witch, I draw your blood and send your soul straight to the devil you serve. Joan of Arc, come, come, you are sure to be defeated by me. (The two fight.) Talbot God, can you allow the devil to run like this?I'm overstretching, my chest is about to explode, my arms are about to snap off my shoulders, but I'm going to punish this arrogant whore. (The two fight again.) Joan Come on, Talbot, your time of death has not yet come.The food was about to be sent to Orleans as soon as possible. (Just a short sound of drums and horns, Joan of Arc leads the soldiers into the field) If you have the ability, come and chase me, I really don't care about your strength.Go, go, and appease your hungry ghosts.Go and help Salisbury write his will.Today is our day, and many days to come will be ours. (Down.) Talbot My mind is spinning like a potter's wheel.I don't know where I am or what I'm doing.This witch is just like Hannibal used the fire ox array back then. The victory is not based on strength, but by creating terror and oppressing our army back.It is like driving the bees out of the hive with thick smoke, and driving the pigeons out of their nests with a foul stench.The French called us the dogs of England for our ferocity and fighting spirit, but we ran away howling like pusty puppies. (a brief burst of drums and horns) Listen to me, my fellow citizens!If we can't fight again, just tear off the lion from our coat of arms, give up your land, and replace the lion with sheep.When sheep meet wolves, when cows and horses meet leopards, they will never be as timid and run away as quickly as you when you meet slaves who have been repeatedly defeated by us. (drums and horns, another scuffle) It's no use, retreat to your trenches.You'd all rather let Salisbury die in vain, and none of you would do anything to avenge him.In spite of our army here, and whatever we have done, Joan of Arc has entered Orleans.Alas, I'd rather die with Salisbury!The humiliation of such a defeat was such that I couldn't hold my head up. (Drums and horns; bugle blowing; Talbot leads the troops down.) The sixth game is the same as before Trumpets play coloratura.Joan of Arc, Charles, Rainier, and Alençon led their soldiers to the top of the city. Joan set up our national flag and let it fly over the city.Orleans had been delivered from the English, and Joan had kept her word. How can I pay my respects to such a feat as you, Charlie, the perfect man, the daughter of the God of Justice?You fulfilled your promises quickly and well, like the garden of Adonis, which bloomed on the first day and bore fruit the next day.法兰西哟,为你的光荣的女先知而高唱凯歌吧!奥尔良已经光复了。在我们国家,这真是一件空前的喜事。 瑞尼埃为什么不叫全城鸣钟击鼓?太子殿下,请您颁发谕旨,叫全城公民燃起庆祝的烟火,在大街上摆下庆功的筵席,来欢庆上帝赐给我们的这桩喜事。 阿朗松当整个法兰西听到我们的英勇事迹时,到处都将充满欢乐。 查理赢得今天胜利的,不是我们,而是贞德。为了酬谢她的大功,我要和她共享这顶王冠。我要命令全国僧侣列队游行,歌颂她无穷的功德。我要为她兴建一座比孟菲斯更为庄严的金字塔。将来如果她一旦逝世,为了纪念她的遗徽,我们要用七宝香车,装殓她的骨殖,在盛大的仪仗中,运送到法兰西的先王、先后的陵寝中去安葬。以后我们就不用再向圣丹尼斯祈祷了,贞德圣女将成为法兰西的保护神。随我来吧,在这黄金般的胜利日子里,让我们举觞痛饮吧。(喇叭奏花腔。同下。)
