HUBERT       Badly, I fear. How fares your majesty? KING JOHN       This fever, that hath troubled me so long,       Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Enter a Messenger Messenger 5     My lord, your valiant kinsman, Faulconbridge,       Desires your majesty to leave the field       And send him word by me which way you go. KING JOHN       Tell him, toward Swinstead, to the abbey there. Messenger       Be of good comfort; for the great supply 10    That was expected by the Dauphin here,       Are wreck'd three nights ago on Goodwin Sands.       This news was brought to Richard but even now:       The French fight coldly, and retire themselves. KING JOHN       Ay me! this tyrant fever burns me up, 15    And will not let me welcome this good news.       Set on toward Swinstead: to my litter straight;       Weakness possesseth me, and I am faint.
