13911200Is practice, onely giue me my seruant foorth;

13921201Tell the Duke and's wife, Ile speake with them

13931202Now presently, bid them come forth and heare me,

13941203Or at their chamber doore Ile beate the drum,

13951204Till it cry sleepe to death.

13961205Glost. I would haue all well betwixt you.

13971206Lear. O my heart! my heart.

13981207Foole. Cry to it Nunckle, as the Cockney did to the Eeles,

13991208when she put them vp i'th paste aliue, she rapt vm ath coxcombs

14001209with a sticke, and cryed downe wantons, downe; twas her bro-

14011210ther, that in pure kindnesse to his horse, butterd his hay.

14041212Lear. Good morrow to you both.

14051213Duke. Haile to your Grace.

14061214Reg. I am glad to see your Highnesse.

14071215Lear. Regan, I thinke you are, I know what reason

14081216I haue to thinke so; if thou shouldst not be glad,

14091217I would diuorce me from thy mothers toombe,

14101218Sepulchring an adulteresse, yea, are you free?

14111219Some other time for that. Beloued Regan,

14121220Thy sister is naught, ô Regan she hath tied

14131221Sharpe tooth'd vnkindnesse, like a vulture heere.

14141222I can scarse speake to thee, thou't not beleeue,

14151223Of how depriued a quality, O Regan.

14161224Reg. I pray sir take patience, I haue hope

14171225You lesse know how to value her desert,

14181226Then she to slacke her duty.

14251227Lear. My curses on her.

14261228Reg. O sir, you are olde,

14271229Nature on you stands on the very verge of her Confine,

14281230You should be ruled and led by some discretion,

14291231That discernes your state better then you your selfe,

14301232Therefore I pray, that to our sister you do make returne,

14321233Say you haue wrongd her sir.

14331234Lear. Aske her forgiuenesse,

14341235Do you marke how this becomes the house?
