Scene VIThe sameEnter, on the walls, Joan LA Pucelle, Charles, Reignier, Alencon, and SoldiersJoan La PucelleAdvance our waving colours on the walls; Rescued is Orleans from the English Thus Joan la Pucelle hath perform’d her word.CharlesDivinest creature, Astraea’s daughter, How shall I honour thee for this success? Thy promises are like Adonis’ gardens That one day bloom’d and fruitful were the next. France, triumph in thy glorious prophetess! Recover’d is the town of Orleans: More blessed hap did ne’er befall our state.ReignierWhy ring not out the bells aloud throughout the town? Dauphin, command the citizens make bonfires And feast and banquet in the open streets, To celebrate the joy that God hath given us.AlenconAll France will be replete with mirth and joy, When they shall hear how we have play’d the men.Charles’Tis Joan, not we, by whom the day is won; For which I will divide my crown with her, And all the priests and friars in my realm Shall in procession sing her endless praise. A statelier pyramis to her I’ll rear Than Rhodope’s or Memphis’ ever was: In memory of her when she is dead, Her ashes, in an urn more precious Than the rich-jewel’d of Darius, Transported shall be at high festivals Before the kings and queens of France. No longer on Saint Denis will we cry, But Joan la Pucelle shall be France’s saint. Come in, and let us banquet royally, After this golden day of victory.Flourish. Exeunt
