Iacob and Esau | ||
scæna tertia.
Esau.Esau.
I trow I haue now wonne my spurres for euer,
For once better venison killed I neuer.
And though it wer somwhat longer I coulde it take,
Yet the goodnesse therof dooth some recompence make.
My father Isaac shall therof haue suche meate,
As in all his life he hath not the better eate.
Whervpon I doubt not, after tender kyssing,
To be streight endowed with his godly blyssing.
As his full and true heire in his place to succeede,
And t'enioye the promise that God made to his seede,
And when I am once in my place of succession,
And haue all maner thinges in full possession:
I shall wring all loutes and make them stoupe (I trowe)
I shall make the slaues couche as lowe as dog to bow.
I shall ruffle among them of an other sort,
Than Isaac hath done, and with an other port.
That part of my hunting my olde father may take.
