[_To Arthur_] Cousin, look not sad:[332] Thy grandam loves thee; and thy uncle will As dear be to thee as thy father was. _Arth._ O, this will make my mother die with grief! 5 _K. John._ [_To the Bastard_] Cousin, away for England! haste before:[333] And, ere our coming, see thou shake the bags Of hoarding abbots; imprisoned angels[334] Set at liberty: the fat ribs of peace[334][335] Must by the hungry now be fed upon:[336] 10 Use our commission in his utmost force.[337] _Bast._ Bell, book, and candle shall not drive me back, When gold and silver becks me to come on.[338] I leave your highness. Grandam, I will pray, If ever I remember to be holy, 15 For your fair safety; so, I kiss your hand. _Eli._ Farewell, gentle cousin. _K. John._ Coz, farewell. [_Exit Bastard._[339] _Eli._ Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word.[340] _K. John._ Come hither, Hubert. O my gentle Hubert,[341] We owe thee much! within this wall of flesh 20 There is a soul counts thee her creditor, And with advantage means to pay thy love: And, my good friend, thy voluntary oath Lives in this bosom, dearly cherished. Give me thy hand. I had a thing to say, 25 But I will fit it with some better time.[342] By heaven, Hubert, I am almost ashamed[343] To say what good respect I have of thee. _Hub._ I am much bounden to your majesty.
