<H3>SCENE V. The French camp.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter LEWIS and his train</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>LEWIS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>The sun of heaven methought was loath to set,</A><br>
<A NAME=2>But stay'd and made the western welkin blush,</A><br>
<A NAME=3>When English measure backward their own ground</A><br>
<A NAME=4>In faint retire. O, bravely came we off,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>When with a volley of our needless shot,</A><br>
<A NAME=6>After such bloody toil, we bid good night;</A><br>
<A NAME=7>And wound our tattering colours clearly up,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>Last in the field, and almost lords of it!</A><br>
<p><i>Enter a Messenger</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>Messenger</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=9>Where is my prince, the Dauphin?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>LEWIS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=10>Here: what news?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>Messenger</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=11>The Count Melun is slain; the English lords</A><br>
<A NAME=12>By his persuasion are again fall'n off,</A><br>
<A NAME=13>And your supply, which you have wish'd so long,</A><br>
<A NAME=14>Are cast away and sunk on Goodwin Sands.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>LEWIS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>Ah, foul shrewd news! beshrew thy very heart!</A><br>
<A NAME=16>I did not think to be so sad to-night</A><br>
<A NAME=17>As this hath made me. Who was he that said</A><br>
<A NAME=18>King John did fly an hour or two before</A><br>
<A NAME=19>The stumbling night did part our weary powers?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>Messenger</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=20>Whoever spoke it, it is true, my lord.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>LEWIS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=21>Well; keep good quarter and good care to-night:</A><br>
<A NAME=22>The day shall not be up so soon as I,</A><br>
<A NAME=23>To try the fair adventure of to-morrow.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
