After 1.e4 e5, 2.Nf3 f6?, 3.Nxe5 fe, 4. Qh5+ g6, 5.Qe5+ Qe7, 6. Qxh8
Nf6, how does White's queen escape? (Black plans to play d6/d5 and
Nd7).

All I can find online is "4. ... g6 loses the rook", so I assume
there's a standard line by which White wins.

what about the following: 7.d3 d6 8.Bg5 Nbd7 9.Nc3 c6 10.h4 h5 11.Bh6
followed by 0-0-0, d4 and e5 according to the circumstances. Black is
a rook down ... with a cramped position, don't see any hope
