The Life and Death of King John

Act III. Scene II.

The Same. Plains near Angiers.

Alarums; excursions. Enter the BASTARD, with the DUKE OF AUSTRIA’S head.
Bast. Now, by my life, this day grows wondrous hot;
Some airy devil hovers in the sky	4
And pours down mischief. Austria’s head lie there,
While Philip breathes.

Enter KING JOHN, ARTHUR, and HUBERT.
K. John. Hubert, keep this boy. Philip, make up,	8
My mother is assailed in our tent,
And ta’en, I fear.
Bast. My lord, I rescu’d her;
Her highness is in safety, fear you not:	12
But on, my liege; for very little pains
Will bring this labour to a happy end. [Exeunt.
