King John: Act 3 Scene 2

Scene II The same. Plains near Angiers.

[Alarums, excursions. Enter the BASTARD, with

AUSTRIA'S head]

BASTARD

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]

KING JOHN

Hubert, keep this boy. Philip, make up:

My mother is assailed in our tent,

And ta'en, I fear.

BASTARD

My lord, I rescued her;

Her highness is in safety, fear you not:

But on, my liege; for very little pains

Will bring this labour to an happy end.

[Exeunt]
