ees.]

[Footnote IV.6: _----speak lower._] Shakespeare has here, as
usual, followed Holinshead: "Order was taken by commandement from
the king, after the army was first set in battle array, that _no
noise or clamor should be made in the host_."]

[Footnote IV.7: _----conditions:_] i.e., _qualities_. The meaning
is, that objects are represented by his senses to him, as to other
men by theirs. What is danger to another is danger likewise to him;
and, when he feels fear, it is like the fear of meaner mortals.
--JOHNSON.]

[Footnote IV.8: _----his cause being just, and his quarrel
honourable._] In his address to the army, King Henry called upon
them all to remember _the just cause and quarrel_ for which they
fought. --HOLINSHED.]

[Footnote V.9: _----the latter day,_] i.e., the last day, the day
of Judgment. Shakespeare frequently uses the _comparative_ for the
_superlative_.]

[Footnote V.10: _----their children +rawly+ left._] i.e., _left
young and helpless_.]

[Footnote IV.11: _----too +round+:_] i.e., too rough, too
unceremonious.]

SCENE II.--THE FRENCH CAMP--SUNRISE.

_Flourish of trumpets._

_Enter DAUPHIN, GRANDPRE, RAMBURES,[12] and Others._

_Dau._ The sun doth gild our armour; up, my lords!
My horse! _varlet! lacquay!_ ha!

[_Servants exeunt hastily._

_Grand._ O brave spirit!

_Dau._ Cousin Orleans.--

_Enter CONSTABLE, L.H._

Now, my lord Constable!

_Con._ Hark, how our steeds for present service neigh!

_Dau._ Mount them, and make incision in their hides,
That their hot blood may spin in English eyes,
And dout them[13] with superfluous courage, Ha!

_Con._ What, will you have them weep our horses' blood?
How shall we, then, behold their natural tears?

_Enter MONTJOY, R.H._

_Mont._ The English are embattled, you French peers.

[_Exit R.H._

_Con._ To horse, you gallant princes! straight to horse!
Do but behold yon poor and starved band.
There is not work enough for all our hands;
Scarce blood enough in all their sickly veins,
To give each naked curtle-ax a stain.
'Tis positive 'gainst all exceptions, lords,
That our superfluous lackeys, are enough
To purge this field of such a hilding foe.[14]
A very little little let us do,
And all is done. Then let the trumpets sound:
For our approach shall so much dare the field,
That En
