Calamity
Hath spent itself; sunshine is now returned. SOREL. What is it? I implore you. LA HIRE (to the KING). Summon back The delegates from Orleans. CHARLES. Why? What is it? LA HIRE. Summon them back! Thy fortune is reversed. A battle has been fought, and thou hast conquered. SOREL. Conquered! Oh, heavenly music of that word! CHARLES. La Hire! A fabulous report deceives thee; Conquered! In conquest I believe no more. LA HIRE. Still greater wonders thou wilt soon believe. Here cometh the archbishop. To thine arms He leadeth back Dunois. SOREL. |
