Father, for the yong gentleman according to fates and destinies, and such odde sayings, the sisters three, & such branches of learning, is indeede deceased, or as you would say in plaine tearmes, gone to heauen Gob. Marrie God forbid, the boy was the verie staffe of my age, my verie prop Lau. Do I look like a cudgell or a houell-post, a staffe or a prop: doe you know me Father Gob. Alacke the day, I know you not yong Gentleman, but I praie you tell me, is my boy God rest his soule aliue or dead Lan. Doe you not know me Father Gob. Alacke sir I am sand blinde, I know you not Lan. Nay, indeede if you had your eies you might faile of the knowing me: it is a wise Father that knowes his owne childe. Well, old man, I will tell you newes of your son, giue me your blessing, truth will come to light, murder cannot be hid long, a mans sonne may, but in the end truth will out Gob. Praie you sir stand vp, I am sure you are not Lancelet my boy |
