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.
