15441318For now I spie a danger, I intreat you,

15451319To bring but fiue and twentie, to no more

15461320Will I giue place or notice.

15471321Lear. I gaue you all.

15481322Reg. And in good time you gaue it.

15491323Lear. Made you my guardians, my depositaries,

15501324But kept a reseruation to be followed

15511325With such a number, what, must I come to you

15521326With fiue and twentie, Regan said you so?

15531327Reg. And speak't againe my Lord, no more with me.

15541328Lea. Those wicked creatures yet do seem wel fauor'd

15551329When others are more wicked, not being the worst

15561330Stands in some ranke of prayse, Ile goe with thee,

15571331Thy fifty yet doth double fiue and twentie,

15581332And thou art twice her loue.

15591333Gon. Heare me my Lord,

15601334What need you fiue and twentie, tenne, or fiue,

15611335To follow in a house, where twise so many

15621336Haue a commaund to tend you.

15631337Regan. What needes one?

15641338Lear. O reason not the deed, our basest beggers,

15651339Are in the poorest thing superfluous,

15661340Allow not nature more then nature needes,

15671341Mans life as cheape as beasts, thou art a Lady,

15681342If onely to goe warme were gorgeous,

15691343Why nature needes not, what thou gorgeous wearest

15701344Which scarcely keepes thee warme, but for true need,

15711345You heauens giue me that patience, patience I need,

15721346You see me here (you Gods) a poore old fellow,

15731347As full of greefe as age, wretched in both,

15741348If it be you that stirres these daughters hearts

15751349Against their Father, foole me not to much,

15761350To beare it lamely, touch me with noble anger,

15771351O let not womens weapons, water drops

15781352Stayne my mans cheekes, no you vnnaturall hags,

15791353I will haue such reuenges on you both,

15801354That all the world shall, I will doe such things,

15811355What they are yet I know not, but they shalbe
