Henry V Act 4, Scene 5 Summary
Elsewhere on the battlefield, the French are losing big time, despite the fact that they outnumber the English.
The once confident Constable, Bourbon, and Orléans are running around shouting things like "O diable!" (O the devil!) and "Mort de ma vie!" (Death of my life!).
A guy named Rambures runs away in fear as Bourbon orders the French soldiers back into the fray.
Bourbon tells us that surrendering to (or running away from) the English would be like letting an enemy into his home to rape his daughter.
