The sun glints off our armor. Awake, my lords!

  Montez à cheval! My horse, varlet! Lackey! Ha!
DAUPHIN
Mount up our horses! Bring my horse, lackey! Ha!

He'll take me through flood and field.

Listen to our horses neighing, longing to be working.
 DAUPHIN
  Mount them and make incision in their hides,
10 That their hot blood may spin in English eyes
  And dout them with superfluous courage. Ha!
DAUPHIN
Mount them and dig your spurs into their flanks so that their hot blood may spurt in English eyes and douse them with some of the spare courage we have around. Ha!
 RAMBURES
  What, will you have them weep our horses' blood?
  How shall we then behold their natural tears?
RAMBURES
What, you want them to weep our horses' blood? Then how will we see their own natural tears?
