15041279Necessities sharpe pinch, returne with her,

15051280Why the hot bloud in France, that dowerles

1281Tooke 1506our yongest borne, I could as well be brought

15071282To knee his throne, and Squire-like pension bag,

15081283To keepe base life afoot, returne with her,

15091284Perswade me rather to be slaue and sumter

15101285To this detested groome.

15111286Gon. At your choise sir.

15121287Lear. Now I prithee daughter do not make me mad,

15131288I will not trouble thee my child, farewell,

15141289Wee'le no more meete, no more see one another.

15151290But yet thou art my flesh, my bloud, my daughter,

15161291Or rather a disease that lies within my flesh,

15171292Which I must needs call mine, thou art a bile,

15181293A plague sore, an imbossed carbuncle 1519in my

1294Corrupted bloud, but Ile not chide thee,

15201295Let shame come when it will, I doe not call it,

15211296I doe not bid the thunder bearer shoote,

15221297Nor tell tailes of thee to high Iudging Ioue,

15231298Mend when thou canst, be better at thy leasure,

15241299I can be patient, I can stay with Regan,

15251300I and my hundred Knights.

15261301Reg. Not altogether so sir, 1527I looke not for you yet,

1302Nor am prouided 1528for your fit welcome,

1303Giue eare sir to my sister, 1529for those

1304That mingle reason with your passion,

15301305Must be content to thinke you are old, and so,

15311306But she knowes what shee does.

15321307Lear. Is this well spoken now?

15331308Reg. I dare auouch it sir, what fiftie followers,

15341309Is it not well, what should you need of more,

15351310Yea or so many, sith that both charge and danger

15361311Speakes gainst so great a number, how in a house

15371312Should many people vnder two commands

15381313Hold amytie, tis hard, almost impossible.

15391314Gon. Why might not you my Lord receiue attendãce

15401315From those that she cals seruants, or from mine?

15411316Reg. Why not my Lord? 1542 if then they chanc'st to slacke you,

15431317We could controwle them, if you will come to me,
