How many Britons then were boiled, pierced, riven, Dying in crowds, and ranks on ranks hard driven : So the ripe corn beneath the reaper's hand Promiscuous falls and covers all the land Still this assault they furiously maintain, The more they fall, the more they come again. Like horrid Hydra, fierce heads fall to earth, 274 Only to be created in another birth ; Yet this affrighted not the son of Jove ; The English thus through fire and carnage drove, After their check more formidable fall, And... bravely stern the numbers which appall. Fierce Richemont, hope of Orleans in the fight, Thou rushest onward to the ramparts' height ; Five hundred burgesses, a chosen band, Reeling, march forward under thy command ; The potent wines their souls illuminate, And with its sap their veins are animate : As gallant Richemont bellowed out amain, "Your legs, good folks, your weight can not sustain But I'm with you, 'tis fit we come to blows ; " He spoke, and rushed 'mid thickest of the foes. Talbot already had carved out a way Along the ramparts, urged by fury's sway ; One direful arm hurled foes to death's drear night, The other urged his phalanx to the fight ; * * Variant: The other urged his phalanx to the -fight ; The last resisting place his foot obtains.
