Henry V | Act 4.8

Before KING
HENRY’S pavilion.

Herald      Here is the number of the slaughter’d French.

KING HENRY V      This note doth tell me of ten thousand French
That in the field lie slain:
Where is the number of our English dead?

 [Herald shews him another paper]

 Edward the Duke of York, the Earl of Suffolk,
Sir Richard Ketly, Davy Gam, esquire:
and of all other men
But five and twenty. O God, thy arm was here;

EXETER       ‘Tis wonderful!

KING HENRY V       Come, go we in procession to the village.
Let there be sung ‘Non nobis’ and ‘Te Deum;’
The dead with charity enclosed in clay:
And then to Calais; and to England then:
Where ne’er from France arrived more happy men.
