ACT V - SCENE III. The field of battle.
Alarums. Enter KING JOHN and HUBERT

KING JOHN
1    How goes the day with us? O, tell me, Hubert.
HUBERT
2    Badly, I fear. How fares your majesty?
KING JOHN
3    This fever, that hath troubled me so long,
4    Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick!
Enter a Messenger

Messenger
5    My lord, your valiant kinsman, Faulconbridge,
6    Desires your majesty to leave the field
7    And send him word by me which way you go.
KING JOHN
8    Tell him, toward Swinstead, to the abbey there.
Messenger
9    Be of good comfort; for the great supply
10   That was expected by the Dauphin here,
11   Are wreck'd three nights ago on Goodwin Sands.
12   This news was brought to Richard but even now:
13   The French fight coldly, and retire themselves.
KING JOHN
14   Ay me! this tyrant fever burns me up,
15   And will not let me welcome this good news.
16   Set on toward Swinstead: to my litter straight;
17   Weakness possesseth me, and I am faint.
Exeunt
