PUCELLE. I must not yield to any rites of love, For my profession's sacred from above: When I have chased all thy foes from hence, Then will I think upon a recompense. CHARLES. Meantime look gracious on thy prostrate thrall. REIGNIER. My lord, methinks, is very long in talk. ALENCON. Doubtless he shrives this woman to her smock; Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. REIGNIER. Shall we disturb him, since he keeps no mean? ALENCON. He may mean more than we poor men do know: These women are shrewd tempters with their tongues. REIGNIER. My lord, where are you? what devise you on? Shall we give over Orleans, or no? PUCELLE. Why, no, I say; distrustful recreants! |
