JOAN LA PUCELLE:
The regent conquers,
and the Frenchmen fly.
Now help, ye
charming spells
and periapts;
And ye choice
spirits that
admonish me
And give me
signs of future
accidents.

[Thunder]

You speedy helpers,
that are substitutes
Under the
lordly monarch
of the north,
Appear and aid
me in this enterprise.

[Enter Fiends]

This speedy and
quick appearance argues proof
Of your accustom'd
diligence to me.
Now, ye familiar
spirits, that are cull'd
Out of the powerful
regions under earth,
Help me this once,
that France may get the field.

[They walk, and speak not]

O, hold me not with silence over-long!
Where I was wont to feed you with my blood,
I'll lop a member off and give it you
In earnest of further benefit,
So you do condescend to help me now.

[They hang their heads]

No hope to have redress? My body shall
Pay recompense, if you will grant my suit.

[They shake their heads]

Cannot my body nor blood-sacrifice
Entreat you to your wonted furtherance?
Then take my soul, my body, soul and all,
Before that England give the French the foil


For those who didn't know this is from Shakespeare's Henry VI part I......


I had in mind the music from the opening of The Shining.......but


I don't want to rip off anyone. But it fits. For this play and the theme.
