Then hemmed and said, “Your case is clear.

Those children, so begot by B

Upon your bond-maid, must, you see,

Be yours or A’s. Now this, I say,

They can’t be yours, if they to A

Belong. It follows then, of course,

That if they are not his, they’re yours.

Therefore, by my advice, in short,

You take the opinion of the Court.”

A Judge Like Solomon
