Act 2 — SCENE VII.

Reading edition

Joan. Du Nois. French Officers.

Du N. The field is ours! the victory complete! The foe on all sides flies! Talbot is ta'en!

Xaint. The glory be our champion's—

Joan. Forbear! Give not the instrument the Giver's meed; But rather let us imitate his mercy. Quick! let the carnage cease! and ev'ry tenderness Show friend and foe. Now let our clarions Proclaim the joyful news of our success! Fling wide the sound, ye gales of heav'n! hills, vales Re-echo it, and tell th' awakened land Her freedom is begun!—her chains are broken!
