Scene + 

IV + 

The Same. + 

Alarums, as of a battle joined. Enter a many Frenchmen flying; Prince, and English, pursuing; and exeunt: then enter King John and Lorraine. + 

King John + 

O Lorraine, say, what mean our men to fly? + 

Our number is far greater than our foes. + 

Lorraine + 

The garrison of Genoa’s, my lord, + 

That came from Paris, weary with their march, + 

Grudging to be so suddenly employ’d, + 

No sooner in the fore-front took their place, + 

But, straight retiring, so dismay’d the rest + 

As likewise they betook themselves to flight; + 

In which, for haste to make a safe escape, + 

More in the clust’ring throng are press’d to death, + 

Than by the enemy, a thousand-fold. + 

King John + 

O hapless fortune! Let us yet assay + 

If we can counsel some of them to stay. Exeunt. + 
