The Life and Death of King John

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

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,

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:

But on, my liege; for very little pains

Will bring this labour to a happy end.[Exeunt.
