[Alarum. Enter prince Edward and Artois.]

ARTOIS.

How fares your grace? are you not shot, my Lord?

PRINCE EDWARD.

No, dear Artois; but choked with dust and smoke,

And stepped aside for breath and fresher air.

ARTOIS.

Breath, then, and to it again: the amazed French

Are quite distract with gazing on the crows;

And, were our quivers full of shafts again,

Your grace should see a glorious day of this:--

O, for more arrows, Lord; that's our want.

PRINCE EDWARD.

Courage, Artois! a fig for feathered shafts,

When feathered fowls do bandy on our side!

What need we fight, and sweat, and keep a coil,

When railing crows outscold our adversaries?

Up, up, Artois! the ground it self is armed

With Fire containing flint; command our bows

To hurl away their pretty colored Ew,

And to it with stones: away, Artois, away!

My soul doth prophecy we win the day.

[Exeunt.]
