" "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.

Additional quotes by François Rabelais
As soon as he was born, he cried not as other babes use to do, Miez, miez, miez, miez, but with a high, sturdy, and big voice shouted about, Some drink, some drink, some drink, as inviting all the world to drink with him. The noise hereof was so extremely great, that it was heard in both the countries at once of Beauce and Bibarois. I doubt me, that you do not thoroughly believe the truth of this strange nativity. Though you believe it not, I care not much: but an honest man, and of good judgment, believeth still what is told him, and that which he finds written.
