CONSTABLE: Disorder, that hath spoiled us, friend us now.
Let us on heaps go offer up our lives.

ORLÉANS: We are enough yet living in the field
To smother up the English in our throngs,
If any order might be thought upon.

BOURBON: The devil take order now! I’ll to the throng.
Let life be short, else shame will be too long.
