It is a wise father that knows his own child.
The Merchant of Venice (1596)

But mine shall be a comfort to your age.

And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.

Fathers that wear rags
Do make their children blind;
But fathers that bear bags
Shall see their children kind.

That face of her again. Therefore begone
Without our grace, our love, our benizon.
King Lear (1608)

My life, my joy, my food, my all the world!

King John (1598)
Behold, my lords,
Although the print be little, the whole matter
And copy of the father, eye, nose, lip,
The trick of's frown, his forehead, nay, the valley,
The pretty dimples of his chin and cheek; his smiles;
The very mould and frame of hand, nail, finger.
