Suivez-vous le grand capitaine.
[Exeunt Pistol and French Soldier.]
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is
true, “The empty vessel makes the greatest sound”. Bardolph and Hym had
ten times more valour than this roaring devil i’ the old play, that [70] every
one may pare his nails with a wooden dagger; and they are both hanged; and
so would this be if he durst steal any thing adventurously. I must stay with
the lackeys, with the luggage of our camp: the French might have a good
prey of us if he knew of it; for there is none [75] to guard it but boys.
Exit.
Scene V IT
Enter [the] Constable, Orleans, Bourbon, Dauphin, and Rambures.
CONSTABLE
O diable!
ORLEANS
O Seigneur! le jour est perdu! tout est perdu!
DAUPHIN
Mort Dieu! ma vie! all is confounded, all!
Reproach and everlasting shame
Sits mocking in our plumes. O méchante fortune! [5]
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?
ORLEANS
Is this the king we sent to for his ransom?
