William Shakespeare: King Henry VI, First Part

ACT SECOND 3. SCENE III. Auvergne. The Countess's castle. (continued)

TALBOT.
Be not dismay'd, fair lady; nor misconstrue
The mind of Talbot, as you did mistake
The outward composition of his body.
What you have done hath not offended me;
Nor other satisfaction do I crave,
But only, with your patience, that we may
Taste of your wine and see what cates you have;
For soldiers' stomachs always serve them well.

COUNTESS.
With all my heart, and think me honored
To feast so great a warrior in my house.

[Exeunt.]
