JACOB. Thou knowest, little Mido, where my mother is.
MIDO. I can go to her as straight as a thread, and not miss.
JACOB. Go call her, and come again with her thine own self.
MIDO. Yes, ye shall see me scud like a little elf.
JACOB. Where I have, by the enticement of my mother,
Bargained and bought the birthright of my brother.
Turn it all to good, O Lord, if it be thy will:
Thou knowest my heart, Lord, I did it for no ill.
And whatever shall please thee to work or to do,
Thou shalt find me prest and obedient thereto.
But here is my mother Rebecca now in place.
MIDO. How say you, master Jacob, ran not I apace?
JACOB. Yes, and a good son to go quick on your errand.
REBECCA. Son, how goeth the matter? let me understand.
JACOB. Forsooth, mother, I did so, as ye me bad,
Esau to sell me all his birthright persuade.
REBECCA. Hast thou bought it indeed, and he therewith content?
