27442550Enter Cordelia, Kent, and Doctor. 27462552How
shall I liue and worke to match thy goodne
sse,
27482553My life will be too
short, and euery mea
sure faile me.
27502554Kent. To be acknowledg'd Madam is ore-paid,
27512555All my reports go with the mode
st truth,
2558The
se weeds are memories of tho
se wor
ser houres,
27572561Yet to be knowne
shortens my made intent,
27582562My boone I make it that you know me not,
27602564Cor. Then be it
so: my Lord how does the king.
27642567Cure this great breach in his abu
sed nature,
27652568The vntun'd and hurrying
sen
ses, O winde vp,
27672570Doct. So plea
se your Maie
sty, we may wake the King
27692572Cor. Be gouern'd by your knowledge, and proceede
27702573Ith
sway of your owne will: is he array'd?
27722574Doct. I Madam, in the heauine
sse of his
sleepe,
27742576Kent. Good Madam be by when we do awake him,
2775.22579Doct. Plea
se you draw neere: louder the mu
sicke there.
2581Re
storation hang thy medicine on my lippes,
27772582And let this ki
sse repaire tho
se violent harmes
27782583That my two
sisters haue in thy reuerence made.
27802584Kent. Kinde and deere Prince
sse.
27812585Cor. Had you not bin their father, the
se white
flakes
27822586Had challeng'd pitty of them. Was this a face
27832587To be expo
sd again
st the warring windes,
2783.12588To
stand again
st the deepe dread bolted thunder,
2784.32590Of quicke cro
sse lightning, to watch poore
Per du,
27852592Though he had bit me,
should haue
stood that night
27862593Again
st my
fire, and wa
st thou faine (poore father)
27872594To houill thee with
swine and rogues forlorne,
27882595In
short and mu
sty
straw? Alack, alacke,
27892596Tis wonder that thy life and wits at once,
27902597Had not concluded all. He wakes,
speake to him.
27912598Doct, Madam do you, tis
fitte
st.
27922599C. How does my royal lord? how fares your maie
sty
27942600Lear. You do me wrong to take me out a'th graue,
27952601Thou art a
soule in bli
sse, but I am bound
27962602Vpon a wheele of
fire, that mine owne teares
27992605Lear. Y'are a
spirit I know, when did you dye?
28012607Doct. He's
scar
se awake, let hlm alone awhile.
28032608Lea. Where haue I bin? where am I? faire day light!
28052609I am mightily abu
sd; I
should ene dye with pity
28062610To
see another thus. I know not what to
say:
28072611I will not
sweare the
se are my hands, let's
see,
28082612I feele this pin pricke, would I were a
ssur'd of my con
-(dition.
28112614And hold your hands in benedi
ction ore me,
28142617I am a very fooli
sh fond olde man,
28152618Foure
score and vpward, and to deale plainly,
28182619I feare I am not perfe
ct in my minde.
28192620Me thinkes I
should know you, and know this man,
28202621Yet I am doubtfull: for I am mainly ignorant
28212622What place this is, and all the skill I haue
28222623Remembers not the
se garments: nor I know not
28232624Where I did lodge la
st night. Do no laugh at me,
28242625For (as I am a man) I thinke this Lady
28272628Lear. Be your teares wet? Yes faith: I pray weepe not,
28292629If you haue poi
son for me I will drinke it:
28302630I know you do not loue me, for your
sisters
28312631Haue (as I do remember) done me wrong.
28322632You haue
some cau
se, they haue not.
28352635Kent. In your owne kingdome
sir.
28372637Doct. Be comforted good Madame, the great rage you
see is
28382638cured in him, and yet it is danger to make him euen ore the time
28392639hee has lo
st; de
sire him to goe in, trouble him no more till fur
- 28402641Cor. Wilt plea
se your Highne
sse walke?
2843.22646Gen. Holds it true
sir that the Duke of
Cornwall was
so
slaine
? 2843.52649Kent. As tis
said, the ba
stard
sonne of Glo
ster.
2843.62650Gent. They
say
Edgar his bani
sht
sonne, is with the Earle of
2843.82652Kent. Report is changeable, tis time to looke about,
2843.92653The powers of the kingdome approch apace.
2843.102654Gent. The arbitrement is like to be bloody, fare you well
sir.
2843.112655Kent. My point and period will be throughly wrought,
2843.122656Or well, or ill, as this dayes battels fought.
