731653Gonorill. Come sir, I would you would make vse of that good

654wisedome whereof I know you are fraught, and put away these

733655dispositions, that of late transforme you from what you rightly

734656are.

735657Foole. May not an Asse know when the Cart drawes the horse,

737658whoop Iug I loue thee.

738659Lear. Doth any here know me? why this is not Lear; doth

740660Lear walke thus? speake thus? where are his eies, either his no-

741661tion, weaknesse, or his discernings are lethergy, sleeping or wa-

742662king; ha! sure tis not so, who is it that can tell me who I am?

744663Lears shadow? I would learne that, for by the markes of soue-

744.1664raignty, knowledge, & reason, I should be false perswaded I had

744.2665daughters.

744.3666Foole. Which they, will make an obedient Father.

745667Le. Your name faire gentlewoman?

747669your new prankes; I do beseech you vnderstand my purposes a-

748670right, as you are old and reuerend, you should be wise, heere doe

750671you keepe one hundred Knights and Squires, men so disordered,

751672so deboyst and bold, that this our Court infected with their

752673manners, shewes like a riotous Inne, epicurisme and lust make

754674more like a Tauerne or Brothell, then a great Pallace, the shame

755675it selfe doth speake for instant remedy, bee thou desired by her,

757676that else will take the thing she begs, a little to disquantity your

758677traine, and the remainder that shall still depend, to be such men

760678as may besort your age, and know themselues and you.

762679Lear. Darknesse and Diuels! saddle my horses, call my traine

763680together, degenerate bastard, ile not trouble thee; yet haue I left

765681a daughter.

766682Gon. You strike my people, and your disordered rabble, make

767683seruants of their betters.

769685Lear. We that too late repent's vs; O sir, are you come? Is it

770686your will that we prepare any horses, ingratitude! thou marble-

771687hearted fiend, more hideous when thou shewest thee in a childe,

773688then the Sea-monster, detested kite, thou lessen my traine and

776689men of choise and rarest parts, that all particulars of duty know,
