  the   fortune   of   the   sea。   Exeunt   all   but   WINCHESTER   and   the   LEGATE
  WINCHESTER。 Stay; my Lord Legate; you shall first receive The sum of
  money which I promised Should be delivered to his Holiness For clothing
  me in these grave ornaments。 LEGATE。 I will attend upon your lordship's
  leisure。 WINCHESTER。 'Aside' Now Winchester will not submit; I trow;
  Or   be   inferior   to   the   proudest   peer。   Humphrey   of   Gloucester;   thou   shalt
  well   perceive   That   neither   in   birth   or   for   authority   The   Bishop   will   be
  overborne by thee。 I'll either make thee stoop and bend thy knee; Or sack
  this country with a mutiny。 Exeunt

  SCENE 2。
  France。 Plains in Anjou
  Enter      CHARLES;          BURGUNDY;            ALENCON;           BASTARD;
  REIGNIER; LA PUCELLE; and forces
  CHARLES。 These   news;   my  lords;   may  cheer   our   drooping spirits:
  'Tis   said   the   stout   Parisians   do   revolt   And   turn   again   unto   the   warlike
  French。 ALENCON。 Then   march   to   Paris;   royal   Charles   of   France; And
  keep   not   back   your   powers   in   dalliance。   PUCELLE。   Peace   be   amongst
  them; if they turn to us; Else ruin combat with their palaces!
  Enter a SCOUT
  SCOUT。      Success    unto   our  valiant   general;   And    happiness    to  his
  accomplices! CHARLES。 What tidings send our scouts? I prithee speak。
  SCOUT。   The   English   army;   that   divided   was   Into   two   parties;   is   now
  conjoin'd   in   one;   And   means   to   give   you   battle   presently。   CHARLES。
  Somewhat too sudden; sirs; the warning is; But we will presently provide
  for them。 BURGUNDY。 I trust the ghost of Talbot is not there。 Now he is
  gone; my lord; you need not fear。 PUCELLE。 Of all base passions fear is
  most    accurs'd。   Command       the  conquest;    Charles;    it  shall  be  thine;  Let
  Henry fret and all the world repine。 CHARLES。 Then on; my lords; and
  France be fortunate! Exeunt

  SCENE 3。
  Before Angiers
  Alarum; excursions。 Enter LA PUCELLE
  PUCELLE。 The Regent conquers and the Frenchmen fly。 Now help;
  ye charming spells and periapts; And ye choice spirits that admonish me
  And give me signs of future accidents; 'Thunder' You speedy helpers that
  are substitutes Under the lordly monarch of the north; Appear and aid me
  in this enterprise!
  Enter FIENDS
  This speedy and quick appearance argues proof Of your accustom'd
  diligence to me。 Now; ye familiar spirits that are cull'd Out of the powerful
  regions   under   earth;   Help   me   this   once;   that   France   may   get   the   field。
  'They walk and speak not'
  O; hold me not with silence over…long! Where I was wont to feed you
  with my blood; I'll lop a member off and give it you In earnest of a further
  benefit; So you do condescend to help me now。 'They hang their heads'
  No hope to have redress? My body shall Pay recompense; if you will grant
  my   suit。   'They   shake   their   heads'   Cannot   my   body   nor   blood   sacrifice
  Entreat you to your wonted furtherance? Then take my soul…my body; soul;
  and all; Before that England give the French the foil。 'They depart' See!
  they forsake me。 Now the time is come That France must vail her lofty…
  plumed      crest  And    let  her   head    fall  into  England's     lap。  My    ancient
  incantations are too weak; And hell too strong for me to buckle with。 Now;
  France; thy glory droopeth to the dust。 Exit
  Excursions。  Enter   French   and   English;  fighting。   LA  PUCELLE   and
  YORK fight hand to hand; LA PUCELLE is taken。 The French fly
  YORK。   Damsel   of   France;   I   think   I   have   you   fast。   Unchain   your
  spirits now with spelling charms; And try if they can gain your liberty。 A
  goodly prize; fit for the devil's grace! See how the ugly witch doth bend
  her   brows   As   if;   with   Circe;   she   would   change   my   shape!   PUCELLE。
  Chang'd   to   a   worser   shape   thou   canst   not   be。   YORK。   O;   Charles   the
  Dauphin   is   a   proper   man:   No   shape   but   his   can   please   your   dainty   eye。
  PUCELLE。 A plaguing mischief  fight on Charles and thee! And may  ye
  74

  King Henry VI; Part 1
  both   be   suddenly   surpris'd   By   bloody   hands;   in   sleeping   on   your   beds!
  YORK。   Fell       banning     hag;   enchantress;   hold     thy   tongue。   PUCELLE。         I
  prithee   give   me   leave   to   curse   awhile。   YORK。   Curse;   miscreant;   when
  thou comest to the stake。 Exeunt
  Alarum。 Enter SUFFOLK; with MARGARET in his hand
  SUFFOLK。 Be what thou wilt; thou art my prisoner。 'Gazes on her'
  O fairest beauty; do not fear nor fly! For I will touch thee but with reverent
  hands; I kiss these fingers for eternal peace; And lay them gently on thy
  tender   side。   Who   art   thou?   Say;   that   I   may   honour   thee。   MARGARET。
  Margaret my name; and daughter to a king; The King of Naples…whosoe'er
  thou    art。  SUFFOLK。         An   earl   I  am;   and   Suffolk    am    I  call'd。  Be   not
  offended; nature's miracle; Thou art allotted to be ta'en by me。 So doth the
  swan   her   downy   cygnets   save;   Keeping          them   prisoner   underneath   her
  wings。   Yet;   if   this   servile   usage   once   offend;   Go   and   be   free   again   as
  Suffolk's friend。 'She is going'
  O; stay! 'Aside' I have no power to let her pass; My hand would free
  her;   but   my   heart   says   no。   As   plays   the   sun   upon   the   glassy   streams;
  Twinkling another counterfeited beam; So seems this gorgeous beauty to
  mine eyes。 Fain would I woo her; yet I dare not speak。 I'll call for pen and
  ink;  and   write   my   mind。   Fie;   de   la   Pole!   disable   not   thyself;   Hast   not   a
  tongue? Is she not here thy prisoner? Wilt thou be daunted at a woman's
  sight?   Ay;   beauty's   princely   majesty   is   such   Confounds   the   tongue   and
  makes the senses rough。 MARGARET。 Say; Earl of Suffolk; if thy name
  be   so;   What   ransom   must   I   pay   before   I   pass?   For   I   perceive   I   am   thy
  prisoner。 SUFFOLK。 'Aside' How canst thou tell she will deny thy suit;
  Before thou make a trial of her love? MARGARET。 Why speak'st thou not?
  What      ransom     must    I  pay?    SUFFOLK。         'Aside'     She's   beautiful;    and
  therefore to be woo'd; She is a woman; therefore to be won。 MARGARET。
  Wilt   thou   accept   of   ransom…yea   or   no?   SUFFOLK。   'Aside'   Fond   man;
  remember that thou hast a wife; Then how can Margaret be thy paramour?
  MARGARET。   I   were   best   leave   him;   for   he   will   not   hear。   SUFFOLK。
  'Aside'  There   all   is   marr'd;   there   lies   a   cooling   card。   MARGARET。   He
  talks   at   random;   sure;   the   man   is   mad。   SUFFOLK。   'Aside'   And   yet   a
  dispensation may be had。 MARGARET。 And yet I would that you would
  75

  King Henry VI; Part 1
  answer me。 SUFFOLK。 'Aside' I'll win this Lady Margaret。 For whom?
  Why; for my King! Tush; that's a wooden thing! MARGARET。 He talks of
  wood。 It is some carpenter。 SUFFOLK。 'Aside' Yet so my fancy may be
  satisfied; And peace established between these realms。 But there remains a
  scruple in that too; For though her father be the King of Naples; Duke of
  Anjou and Maine; yet is he poor; And our nobility will scorn the match。
  MARGARET。 Hear ye; Captain…are you not at leisure? SUFFOLK。 'Aside'
  It   shall   be   so;   disdain   they   ne'er   so   much。   Henry   is   youthful;   and   will
  quickly   yield。   Madam;   I   have   a   secret   to   reveal。   MARGARET。   'Aside'
  What   though   I   be   enthrall'd?   He   seems   a   knight; And   will   not   any   way
  dishonour      me。    SUFFOLK。         Lady;    vouchsafe     to   listen   what    I  say。
  MARGARET。 'Aside' Perhaps I shall be rescu'd by the French; And then I
  need not crave his courtesy。 SUFFOLK。 Sweet madam; give me hearing in
  a cause MARGARET。 'Aside' Tush! women have been captivate ere now。
  SUFFOLK。 Lady; wherefore talk you so? MARGARET。 I cry you mercy;
  'tis   but   quid   for   quo。   SUFFOLK。   Say;   gentle   Princess;   would   you   not
  suppose Your bondage happy; to be made a queen? MARGARET
