But I care not, I warrant you: for our household
Love Jacob better than Esau twentyfold.
None loveth Esau but for his father's sake:
But all good folks are glad Jacob's part to take.
And now by Esau no man will set a pin,
But yonder he cometh now; I will get me in.
ACTUS QUINTI, SCAENA TERTIA.
ESAU.
ESAU. I trow I have now won my spurs for ever;
For once better venison killed I never,
And though it were somewhat long, ere I could it take,
Yet the goodness thereof doth some recompense make.
My father Isaac shall thereof have such meat,
As in all his life he hath not the better eat.
Whereupon, I doubt not, after tender kissing,
To be straight endowed with his godly blessing:
As his full and true heir in his place to succeed,
And t'enjoy the promise that God made to his seed,
And when I am once in my place of succession,
And have all manner things in full possession:
I shall wring all louts and make them stoop (I trow);
I shall make the slaves couch as low as dog, and bow.
I shall ruffle among them of another sort
Than Isaac hath done, and with another port.
But now will go see, what haste within they make,
That part of my hunting my old father may take.
[_Exit_.
ACTUS QUINTI, SCAENA QUARTA.
ISAAC. MIDO. ESAU.
ISAAC. Mido, come, Mido, where art thou, little Mido?
MIDO. Here ready, master Isaac, what shall I do?
ISAAC.
