Additional quotes by François Rabelais
There was left only the monk to provide for, whom Gargantua would have made Abbot of Seville, but he refused it. He would have given him the Abbey of Bourgueil, or of Sanct Florent, which was better, or both, if it pleased him ; but the monk gave him a very peremptory answer, that he would never take upon him the charge nor government of monks. For how shall I be able, said he, to rule over others, that have not full power and command of myself: If you think I have done you, or may hereafter do you any acceptable service, give me leave to found an abbey after my own mind and fancy.
Le bonhomme Grandgousier buvant, et se rigolant avec les autres entendit le cri horrible que son fils avait fait entrant en lumière de ce monde, quand il bramait demandant : «à boire, à boire, à boire», dont il dit, «que grand tu as supple le gosier». Ce qu'oyant les assistants, dirent que vraiment il devait avoir par ce le nom Gargantua, puisque telle avait été la première parole de son père à sa naissance, à l'imitation et exemple des anciens Hébreux.
