173By Iupiter, this shall not be reuokt.

194174Kent. Why fare thee well King, since thou wilt appeare,

195175Friendship liues hence, and banishment is here;

196176The Gods to their protecction take the maid,

197177That rightly thinkes, and hath most iustly said,

198178And your large speeches may your deeds approue,

199179That good effects may spring from words of loue:

200180Thus Kent, O Princes, bids you all adew,

201181Hee'l shape his old course in a Country new.

204183Glo. Heer's France and Burgundy, my noble Lord.

205184Lear. My Lord or Burgundy, we first addresse towards you,

206185Who with a King hath riuald for our daughter,

207186What in the least will you require in present

208187Dower with her, or cease your quest of loue?

210188Burg. Roiall Maiesty, I craue no more then what

211189Your Highnesse offered, nor will you tender lesse?

213190Lear. Right noble Burgundy, when she was deare to vs,

215191We did hold her so, but now her price is fallen;

216192Sir, there she stands, if ought within that little

217193Seeming substance, or all of it with our displeasure peec'st,

218194And nothing else may fitly like your Grace,

219195Shee's there, and she is yours.

220196Burg. I know no answer.

221197Lear. Sir, will you with those infirmities she owes,

222198Vnfriended, new adopted to our hate,

223199Couered with our curse, and stranger'd with our oath,

224200Take her or leaue her.

225201Burg. Pardon me royall sir, election makes not vp

226202On such conditions.

227203Lear. Then leaue her sir, for by the power that made me,

228204I tell you all her wealth. For you great King,

229205I would not from your loue make such a stray,

230206To match you where I hate, therefore beseech you,

231207To auert your liking a more worthier way,

232208Then on a wretch whom Nature is asham'd

233209Almost to acknowledge hers.
