506453Enter Goneril and [Oswald, her] gentleman. Did my father strike my gentleman for
508chiding of his
455fool?
Yes, madam.
Yes, madam. By day and night he wrongs me.
458Every hour
511He flashes into one gross crime or other
512459That sets us all at odds. I'll not endure it.
513460His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us
514461On every trifle. When he returns from hunting
515462I will not speak with him. Say I am sick.
516463If you come slack of former services
517464You shall do well; the fault of it I'll answer.
[Hunting horns within]
He's coming madam. I hear him.
Put on what weary negligence you please,
520You and your
467fellow servants. I'd have it come in question.
521If he dislike it, let
468him to our sister,
522Whose mind and mine I know in that are one
12.1,
522.1469Not to be overruled. Idle old man
That still would manage those
522.2470authorities
That he hath given away. Now, by my life,
Old fools
522.3471are babes again, and must be used
With checks as flatteries when
522.4472they are seen abused.
523Remember what I tell you.
Remember what I tell you. Very well, madam.
And let his knights have colder looks among
526you. What
475grows of it, no matter. Advise your fellows so.
12I would breed
526.1476from hence occasions, and I shall, that I may speak.
13527I'll write
477straight to my sister to hold my very course. Go
528prepare for
478dinner.
