SCENE III. The same. Field of Battle. Loud Alarums. Enter King John, and Hubert.

Joh.
How goes the day with us? o, tell me, Hubert.

Hub.
Badly, I fear: How fares your majesty?

Joh.
This fever, that hath troubl'd me so long,
Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick!
Enter a Messenger.

Mes.
My lord, your valiant kinsman, Faulconbridge,
Desires your majesty to leave the field;
And send him word by me, which way you go.

Joh.
Tell him, toward Swinstead, to the abbey there.

Mes.
Be of good comfort; for the great supply,
That was expected by the dauphin here,
Was wreck'd note three nights ago on Goodwin sands.
This news was brought to Richard but even now:
The French fight coldly, and retire themselves.

Joh.
Ay me! note this tyrant fever burns me up,
And will not let me welcome this good news.—
Set on toward Swinstead: to my litter straight;
Weakness possesseth me, and I am faint.
[Exeunt.
