O thou good Kent, 2746how shall I live and work
To be acknowledged, madam, is o'er-paid.
Be better suited.
Pardon, dear madam;
Then be't so, my good lord. [To the Gentleman] 2761How does the King?
Madam, sleeps still.
O you kind gods,
2767Gentleman
So please your majesty
Be governed by your knowledge and proceed
Ay, madam. In the heaviness of sleep
O my dear father, restoration hang
2780Kent
Kind and dear princess.
Had you not been their father, these white flakes
Madam do you. 'Tis fittest.
How does my royal lord? 2793How fares your majesty?
You do me wrong to take me out o'th'grave.
2798Cordelia
Sir, do you know me?
You are a spirit, I know. Where did you die?
Still, still, far wide.
He's scarce awake. 2802Let him alone a while.
Where have I been? 2804Where am I? Fair daylight?
2810Cordelia
[Kneeling] O look upon me, sir,
4.6.54.1[Lear attempts to kneel.]
2813Lear
Pray do not mock me.
2826Cordelia
And so I am, I am.
Be your tears wet? 2828Yes, faith. I pray weep not.
2833Cordelia
No cause, no cause.
Am I in France?
2835Kent
In your own kingdom, sir.
Do not abuse me.
Be comforted, good madam. The great rage
Will't please your highness walk?
2841Lear
You must bear with me.
