LA HIRE returns, CHARLES, SOREL.
SOREL
You come alone? You do not bring him back?
[Observing him more closely.]
La Hire! What news? What does that look announce?
Some new calamity?
LA HIRE
Calamity
Hath spent itself; sunshine is now returned.
SOREL
What is it? I implore you.
LA HIRE (to the KING)
Summon back
The delegates from Orleans.
CHARLES
Why? What is it?
LA HIRE
Summon them back! Thy fortune is reversed.
A battle has been fought, and thou hast conquered.
SOREL
Conquered! Oh, heavenly music of that word!
CHARLES
La Hire! A fabulous report deceives thee;
Conquered! In conquest I believe no more.
LA HIRE
Still greater wonders thou wilt soon believe.
Here cometh the archbishop. To thine arms
He leadeth back Dunois.
SOREL
O beauteous flower
Of victory, which doth the heavenly fruits
Of peace and reconcilement bear at once!
