Phi.

I know not why, except to get the land:

But once he slanderd me with bastardy:

But where I be as true begot or no,

That still I lay vpon my mothers head,

But that I am as well begot my Liege

(Faire fall the bones that tooke the paines for me)

Compare our faces, and be Iudge your selfe

If old Sir Robert did beget us both,

And were our father, and this sonne like him:

O old sir Robert Father, on my knee

I giue heauen thankes I was not like to thee.
