Henry the Fifth, III. vi

With pennons painted in the blood of Harfleur:

Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow

Upon the valleys, whose low vassal seat

The Alps doth spit and void his rheum upon:

Go down upon him, you have power enough,

And in a captive chariot into Roan

Bring him our prisoner.

Con.This becomes the great.

Sorry am I his numbers are so few,

His soldiers sick and famish'd in their march,

For I am sure when he shall see our army

He'll drop his heart into the sink of fear,

And for achievement offer us his ransom.

Fr. King. Therefore, lord constable, haste on Montjoy,

And let him say to England that we send

To know what willing ransom he will give.

Prince Dauphin, you shall stay with us in Roan.

Dau. Not so, I do beseech your majesty.

Fr. King. Be patient, for you shall remain with us.

Now forth, lord constable and princes all,

And quickly bring us word of England's fall.

Exeunt.

Gow. How now, Captain Fluellen! come you

from the bridge?

Flu. I assure you, there is very excellent

services committed at the pridge.
