O, what, am I
A
mother to the birth of three? N’er mother
Rejoiced
deliverance more.- Blest pray you be,
That,
after this strange starting from your orbs,
You
may reign in them now!- O Imogen,
Thou
has lost by this a kingdom.
-Cymbeline

I just so happen to have a pic of the three that I am father to. No, not mother. Father.

Well, he says "a mother" not "the mother". "The mother" would imply the only mother. But "a mother" can just be a sort of phrase - equating it to any person who is nurturing or caring - which even a father could be.
And then he says "n'er mother"? Does that mean "never mother" or "not mother" to contradict his previous phrase?
I'm also confused at the fact that this man lost three kids who showed up later. I certainly wouldn't be paying child support on that s-show.
Indeed?
