_Bast._ Brother, take you my land, I'll take my chance. Your face hath got five hundred pound a year, Yet sell your face for five pence and 'tis dear. Madam, I'll follow you unto the death. _Eli._ Nay, I would have you go before me thither. 155 _Bast._ Our country manners give our betters way. _K. John._ What is thy name? _Bast._ Philip, my liege, so is my name begun; Philip, good old sir Robert's wife's eldest son. _K. John._ From henceforth bear his name whose form thou bear'st:[37] 160 Kneel thou down Philip, but rise more great,[38] Arise sir Richard and Plantagenet. _Bast._ Brother by the mother's side, give me your hand: My father gave me honour, yours gave land. Now blessed be the hour, by night or day, 165 When I was got, sir Robert was away! _Eli._ The very spirit of Plantagenet! I am thy grandam, Richard; call me so.[39] _Bast._ Madam, by chance but not by truth; what though?[40] Something about, a little from the right, 170 In at the window, or else o'er the hatch: Who dares not stir by day must walk by night, And have is have, however men do catch: Near or far off, well won is still well shot, And I am I, howe'er I was begot. 175 _K. John._ Go, Faulconbridge: now hast thou thy desire; A landless knight makes thee a landed squire. Come, madam, and come, Richard, we must speed For France, for France, for it is more than need. _Bast._ Brother, adieu: good fortune come to thee! 180 For thou wast got i' the way of honesty.[41] [_Exeunt all but Bastard._[42]
