Nay, now at last we have well sped, I warrant you: Good luck is not evermore against Esau. He coursed and coursed again with his dogs here: But they could at no time take either hare or deer. At last he killed this with his bow, as God would. And to say that it is fat venison I be bold. But dressed it must be at once in all the haste, That old father Isaac may have his repast. Then without delay Esau shall blessed be, Then, faith, cock-on-hoop, all is ours! then, who but he? But I must in, that it may be dressed in time likely, And I trow ye shall see it made ready quickly. [_Exit_. ACTUS QUINTI, SCAENA SECUNDA. MIDO. MIDO. Nay now, old master Isaac (I warrant you) Hath blessed Jacob in the place of Esau. At home here with us it is judged no small change, But a case wonderful, and also very strange. The younger brother is made elder: and again The elder must now serve the younger as his swain.[275] And from henceforth we must all make courtesy and bow, Unto master Jacob, and not to Esau now: And Esau himself must under Jacob be, At his commandment, even as well as we. 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. Come, lead me to mine old place, that I may sit down. MIDO. That can I as well as any boy in this town.
