ORLEANS

What a wretched and peevish fellow is this king of
England, to mope with his fat-brained followers so
far out of his knowledge!

Constable

If the English had any apprehension, they would run away.

ORLEANS

That they lack; for if their heads had any
intellectual armour, they could never wear such heavy
head- pieces.

RAMBURES

That island of England breeds very valiant
creatures; their mastiffs are of unmatchable courage.

ORLEANS

Foolish curs, that run winking into the mouth of a
Russian bear and have their heads crushed like
rotten apples! You may as well say, that's a
valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.

Constable

Just, just; and the men do sympathize with the
mastiffs in robustious and rough coming on, leaving
their wits with their wives: and then give them
great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will
eat like wolves and fight like devils.

ORLEANS

Ay, but these English are shrewdly out of beef.

Constable

Then shall we find to-morrow they have only stomachs
to eat and none to fight. Now is it time to arm:
come, shall we about it?

ORLEANS

It is now two o'clock: but, let me see, by ten
We shall have each a hundred Englishmen.
