41. On Esav and Iacob .
Esau goes forth; strives, with his owne disquiet,To purchase Ven'son for his fathers Diet:
Iacob abides at home; and, by his Mother,
Is taught the way, how to supplant his brother:
There's some that hunt, like Esau, sweat and toyle,
And seeke their Blessing by their owne Turmoyle;
Whilst others crave assistance, and bewray
Their wiser weakenes; in a safer Way:
130
Make savory Meate, and cloath me, then conduct me
Into my Fathers Armes, these hands shall never
Trust to the poorenesse of their owne Endevor:
Bring I a Kid but of my Mothers dressing,
'Twill please my Father, and procure my Blessing.
