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
