The Maid of Orleans (Act 3 Scene 8) Friedrich Schiller (Ft. Anna Swanwick)

The same. LA HIRE.

DUNOIS
La Hire, where is the maiden?

LA HIRE
                                That I ask
Of you; I left her fighting by your side.

DUNOIS
I thought she was protected by your arm,
When I departed to assist the king.

BURGUNDY
Not long ago I saw her banner wave
Amidst the thickest of the hostile ranks.

DUNOIS
Alas! where is she? Evil I forebode?
Come, let us haste to rescue her. I fear
Her daring soul hath led her on too far;
Alone she combats in the midst of foes,
And without succor yieldeth to the crowd.

CHARLES
Haste to her rescue!
LA HIRE
                                Come!

BURGUNDY
                                We follow all!

[Exit.]

[They retire in haste. A deserted part of the
battle-field. In the distance are seen the towers
of Rheims illumined by the sun.]
