[For a more detailed synopsis of the action see17980216] .The Argument. Joan of Arc and her sister Blanche, being placed in the power of the English Troops besieging Orleans, become both enamoured of Young Talbot--he prefers Blanche, which urges Joan to revenge, and then by employing Magic, she is gifted by +Lucifer, for a stated time with supernatural Power, which she employs against the English with success--in the midst of her triumphs her power is crushed by the superior influence of Courage of and Virtue, and she is consigned a Victim to the Fiend whose agency she solicited--Then Britannia seated in the Clouds, attended by Commerce, Plenty and Neptune, beholds A Grand Historical Pageant of the following Illustrations of British Heroism: Caractacus' Magnanimity before the Throne of Claudius. Alfred disguised in the Danish Camp as an Harper, and discovering himself to his desponding Countrymen. Richard Coeur de Lion imprisoned in Germany, & liberated by the Voluntary Contributions of his fair Countrywomen. King John uniting his Kingdom by signing Magna Charta. Henry the Third--The Effects of French Invasion--the +Dauphine subdued, and the magnanimous conduct of England towards him. Edward and Eleanora--The affectionate Wife sucks from her husband's arm the Venom of a poisoned Arrow, by which Edward was wounded in Palestine. +The Black Prince--His taking the French King prisoner at the Battle of Poictiers, and his gallantly serving him at a Banquet. +Henry V--The Triumphs of Agincourt, and his Marriage with +Catherine. Britannia then pays honour to her Heroes--and a Grand Chorus (wherein Englishmen are exhorted to emulate the Glories of their Ancestors) concludes the Piece.
