 | Iacob and Esau |  |
scæna secunda.
Mido.
Nay now olde maister Isaac (I warrant you)
Hath blessed Iacob in the place of Esau.
At home here with vs it is iudged no small change
But a case wonderfull, and also very strange.
The yonger brother is made elder, and againe,
The elder must nowe serue the yonger as his swayne.
And from hensforth we must all make curtesie and bow,
Unto maister Iacob, and not to Esau now:
And Esau him selfe must vnder Iacob bee,
At his commaundement euen as well as we.
But I care not I warrant you: for our householde
Loue Iacob better than Esau twenty folde.
None loueth Esau but for his fathers sake:
But all good folkes are glad Iacobs parte to take.
And now by Esau no man wyll sette a pinne,
But yonder he commeth nowe, I will gette me in.
