JACOB. REBECCA.
JACOB. Mother Rebecca, did ye send for me hither?
REBECCA. Yea, and the cause is this, thou must go somewhither,
To hide thee from thy brother Esau a space.
JACOB. Indeed, to men's malice we must sometime give place.
REBECCA. He lieth in await to sle thee, if he can:
Thou shalt therefore, by my reed, fle hence to Haran:
And lie with my brother Laban, a man aged,
Till Esau's wrath be somewhat assuaged.
When all things are forgotten, and his fury passed,
I shall send for thee again in all goodly haste.
JACOB. Yea, but, how will my father herewith be content?
REBECCA. Thou shalt see me win him thereto incontinent.
And here he cometh happily: Jacob, hear me;
Make a sign to Mido, that he do not name thee,
Then get thee in privily, till I do thee call.
JACOB. As ye command me, mother Rebecca, I shall.
