13011128Thou maist deserue, or they purpose this vsage,

13021129Comming from vs.

13031130Kent. My Lord, when at their home

13041131I did commend your Highnesse Letters to them,

13051132Ere I was risen from the place that shewed

13061133My duty kneeling, came there a reeking Poste,

13071134Stewd in his haste, halfe breathlesse, panting forth

13081135From Gonorill his Mistris, salutations,

13091136Deliuered letters spite of intermission,

13101137Which presently they read; on whose contents

13111138They summoned vp their men, straight tooke horse,

13121139Commanded me to follow, and attend the leisure

13131140Of their answer, gaue me cold lookes,

13141141And meeting heere the other Messenger,

13151142Whose welcome I perceiu'd had poisoned mine,

13161143Being the very fellow that of late

13171144Displaid so sawcily against your Highnesse,

13181145Hauing more man then wit about me, drew;

13191146He raised the house with loud and coward cries,

13211148This shame which here it suffers.

13291150Historica passio downe thou climing sorrow,

13301151Thy element's below, where is this daughter?

13311152Kent. With the Earle sir within.

13321153Lear. Follow me not, stay there.

13331154Knight. Made you no more offence then what you speake of?

13351155Kent. No, how chance the King comes with so small a traine?

13371156Foole. If thou hadst beene set in the stockes for that question,

13381157 thou hadst well deserued it.

13391158Kent. Why foole?

13401159Foole. Wee'l set thee to schoole to an Ant, to teach thee ther's

13411160no labouring in the winter, all that follow their noses, are led by

13421161their eyes, but blinde men, and there's not a nose among a hun-

13431162dred, but can smell him that's stincking; let goe thy hold when

13441163a great wheele runs downe a hill, least it breake thy necke with

13451164following it, but the great one that goes vp the hil, let him draw
