- 0:07Speaker 1: seen one a room of state in King Lear's palace,
- 0:12Speaker 1: Enter Kent, Gloucester and Edmund Kent.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I thought the King had more affected the Duke of
- 0:20Speaker 2: Albany than Cornwall Gloucester.
- 0:24Speaker 3: It did always seem so to us. But now in
- 0:28Speaker 3: the division of the kingdom it appears not which of
- 0:31Speaker 3: the dukes he values most, For equalities are so weighed
- 0:36Speaker 3: that curiosity in neither can make choice of either's moiety.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Is not this your son, my lord?
- 0:44Speaker 3: His breathing, Sir, hath been at my charge. I have
- 0:49Speaker 3: so often blushed to acknowledge him, that now I am
- 0:52Speaker 3: brazed to it.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I cannot conceive.
- 0:56Speaker 3: You, Sir, this young fellow's mother could. Whereupon she grew
- 1:01Speaker 3: round wound, and had indeed, Sir a son for her cradle.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Ere she had a husband for her bed. Do you
- 1:10Speaker 3: smell a fault?
- 1:12Speaker 2: I cannot wish the fault undone, the issue of it
- 1:15Speaker 2: being so proper.
- 1:17Speaker 3: But I have Sir a son by order of law,
- 1:21Speaker 3: some year elder than this, who yet is no dearer
- 1:25Speaker 3: in my account. Though this knave came something saucily into
- 1:29Speaker 3: the world before he was sent for. Yet was his
- 1:32Speaker 3: mother fair? There was good sport at his making, and
- 1:36Speaker 3: the horse un must be acknowledged. Do you know this,
- 1:39Speaker 3: noble gentleman Edmund? No, my Lord, my Lord of Kent,
- 1:45Speaker 3: remember him hereafter as my honorable friend.
- 1:50Speaker 4: My services to your lordship.

- 2:14Speaker 1: Goneril Reagan, Cordelia and attendants.
- 2:19Speaker 5: Lear attend the lords of France and Burgundy, Gloucester.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I shall, my Liege Exeant Gloucester and Edmund.
- 2:28Speaker 5: Meantime we shall express our darker purpose. Give me the
- 2:32Speaker 5: map there. Know that we have divided in three our kingdom,
- 2:37Speaker 5: and tis our fast intent to shake all cares and
- 2:40Speaker 5: business from our age, conferring them on younger strengths, while we, unburdened,
- 2:46Speaker 5: crawl toward death. Our son of Cornwall, and you are
- 2:50Speaker 5: no less loving son of Albany. We have this hour
- 2:53Speaker 5: a constant will to publish our daughter's several hours that
- 2:57Speaker 5: future strife may be prevented. Now the princes France and Burgundy,
- 3:03Speaker 5: great rifles in our youngest daughter's love long in our court,
- 3:07Speaker 5: have made their amorous sojourn, and here are to be answered.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Tell me, my daughters, since now we will divest us
- 3:15Speaker 5: both of rule, interest of territory, cares of state, Which
- 3:19Speaker 5: of you shall we say doth love us most that
- 3:23Speaker 5: we our largest bounty may extend where nature doth with
- 3:27Speaker 5: merit challenge Goneril, our eldest born, speak first, Sir.
- 3:34Speaker 6: I love you more than words can wield, the matter
- 3:37Speaker 6: dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty beyond what can be valued,
- 3:41Speaker 6: rich or rare, no less than life with grace, health, beauty, honor,
- 3:46Speaker 6: as much as child heir loved or father found a
- 3:49Speaker 6: love that makes breath poor and speech unable beyond all
- 3:53Speaker 6: manner of so much I love you, Cordelia.
- 3:58Speaker 7: What shall Cordelia speak love? And be silent.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Of all these bounds? Even from this line to this,
- 4:08Speaker 5: with shadowy forests and with champaigns riched with plenteous rivers
- 4:12Speaker 5: and wide skirted meads, we make thee lady to thine
- 4:16Speaker 5: in an Albany's issue, be this perpetual? What says our
- 4:20Speaker 5: second daughter, Ah dearest Reagan wife to Cornwall, speak.
- 4:27Speaker 8: Sir, I am made of the self same metal that
- 4:30Speaker 8: my sister is, and bries me at her worth in
- 4:34Speaker 8: my true art, I find she names me very deed
- 4:37Speaker 8: of love. Only she comes to short that I profess
- 4:41Speaker 8: myself an enemy to all other joys which the most
- 4:44Speaker 8: precious square sense possesses, And find I am alone felicited
- 4:51Speaker 8: in your dear Highness's.
- 4:52Speaker 7: Love, then, poor Cordelia, And yet not so, since I
- 4:59Speaker 7: am sure my love's more richer than my tongue.
- 5:03Speaker 5: To thee and thine hereditary. Ever, remain this ample third
- 5:07Speaker 5: of our fair kingdom no less in space, validity, and
- 5:10Speaker 5: pleasure than that conferred on Goneril. Now our joy, although
- 5:16Speaker 5: the last not least to whose young love the vines
- 5:20Speaker 5: of France and milk of Burgundy strive to be interested.
- 5:24Speaker 5: What can you say to draw a third more opulent
- 5:27Speaker 5: than your sisters?
- 5:29Speaker 7: Speak nothing, my Lord, nothing, nothing.
- 5:34Speaker 5: Nothing can come of nothing.
- 5:36Speaker 7: Speak again, unhappy that I am, I cannot heave my
- 5:41Speaker 7: heart into my mouth. I love your Majesty according to
- 5:45Speaker 7: my bond, no more, no less.
- 5:49Speaker 5: How how Cordelia, mend your speech a little, lest you
- 5:54Speaker 5: may mar your fortunes.
- 5:57Speaker 7: Good, my Lord, you have begot me, bred me, loved me.
- 6:02Speaker 7: I return those duties back as a right fit obey you,
- 6:06Speaker 7: love you, and most honor you. Why have my sister's
- 6:11Speaker 7: husbands if they say they love you all? Haply? When
- 6:15Speaker 7: I shall wed, that lord whose hand must take my plight,
- 6:20Speaker 7: shall carry half my love with him, half my care
- 6:23Speaker 7: and duty. Sure I shall never marry like my sisters
- 6:28Speaker 7: to love my father.
- 6:29Speaker 5: All but goes thy heart with this.
- 6:33Speaker 7: Ay, good, my Lord.
- 6:34Speaker 5: So young and so untender, So.
- 6:37Speaker 7: Young, my lord and true, Let it be so.
- 6:42Speaker 5: Thy truth, then be thy dow For by the sacred
- 6:46Speaker 5: radiance of the Sun, the mysteries of Acret and the Knight,
- 6:49Speaker 5: by all the operation of the orbs, from whom we
- 6:52Speaker 5: do exist and cease to be here, I disclaim all
- 6:56Speaker 5: my paternal care, probinquity, and property of blood, and as
- 7:01Speaker 5: a stranger to my heart and me, hold thee for them.
- 7:04Speaker 5: This for ever the Barbara's Scythian, or he that makes
- 7:08Speaker 5: his generation messes to Gorge's appetite, shall to my bosom
- 7:13Speaker 5: be as well neighbor, pitied and relieved as thou my
- 7:17Speaker 5: sometime daughter. Good, my leeche, peace, kent, come not between
- 7:22Speaker 5: the dragon and his wrath. I lov'd her most, and
- 7:26Speaker 5: thought to set my rest on her kind nursery to Cordelia,
- 7:30Speaker 5: hence and avoid my sight. So be my grave my peace.
- 7:35Speaker 5: As here I give her father's heart from her call France,
- 7:39Speaker 5: who stairs call Burgundy, Cornwall and Albany. With my two
- 7:44Speaker 5: daughter's dowers, digest this third let pride, which she calls plainness,
- 7:49Speaker 5: marry her. I do invest you joint thee in my power,
- 7:53Speaker 5: pre eminence, and all the large effects that troop with
- 7:57Speaker 5: Majesty ourself by monthly course, with reservation of an hundred
- 8:01Speaker 5: knights by you to be sustained, shall our abode make
- 8:05Speaker 5: with you by deutons only we still retain the name
- 8:09Speaker 5: and all the additions to a king. The sway, revenue,
- 8:13Speaker 5: execution of the rest beloved sons be yours, which to
- 8:17Speaker 5: confirm this coronet part betwixt.
- 8:20Speaker 2: You, Royal Leir, whom I have ever honored as my king,
- 8:27Speaker 2: loved as my father, as my master, followed as my
- 8:32Speaker 2: great patron, thought on in my prayers.
- 8:36Speaker 5: The bow is bent and drawn, Make from the shaft.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Let it fall, Rather though the fok convayed the region
- 8:44Speaker 2: of my heart be kent un mannerly when leir is mad?
- 8:52Speaker 2: What wouldst thou do? Old man? Think'st thou that duty
- 8:57Speaker 2: shall have dread to speak when power to flattery bows
- 9:03Speaker 2: to plainness, honors bound, when majesty falls to folly, reverse
- 9:09Speaker 2: thy state, and in thy best consideration, check this hideous rashness.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Answer my life, my judgment, Thy youngest daughter does not
- 9:21Speaker 2: love the least. Nor are those empty hearted whose low
- 9:27Speaker 2: sound reverbs no.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Hollowness kent on thy life.
- 9:32Speaker 2: No more my life I never held but as a
- 9:36Speaker 2: pawn to wage against thine enemies, nor fear to lose it,
- 9:42Speaker 2: Thy safety being the motive out of my sight. See better,
- 9:47Speaker 2: lear and let me still remain the true blank of
- 9:52Speaker 2: thine eye.
- 9:54Speaker 5: Now by Apollo, Now.
- 9:56Speaker 2: By Apollo, King, Thou sweartst thy god in vain.
- 10:01Speaker 1: All vassal mescreant he makes to strike him.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Dear sir, forbear, do kill thy physician and the fee
- 10:11Speaker 2: bestow upon the foul disease, Revoke thy gift. Or whilst
- 10:17Speaker 2: I can vent clamor from my throat, I'll tell thee
- 10:21Speaker 2: thou dost evil.
- 10:24Speaker 5: Hear me recreant on thine allegiance hear me, since thou
- 10:28Speaker 5: hast sought to make us break our vow, which we
- 10:31Speaker 5: dost never yet, and with trained pride to come between
- 10:34Speaker 5: our sentence and our power, which nor our nature nor
- 10:38Speaker 5: our place can bear. Our potency made good, take thy reward.
- 10:43Speaker 5: Five days do we allot THEE for provision, to shield
- 10:46Speaker 5: THEE from diseases of the world, And on the sixth
- 10:49Speaker 5: to turn thy hated back upon our kingdom. If on
- 10:52Speaker 5: the tenth day following thy banished trunk be found in
- 10:56Speaker 5: our dominions, the moment is thy death. Hey, by Jupiter,
- 11:01Speaker 5: this shall.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Not be revoked fairly. Well, King sith, thus thou will appear.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here to Cordelia. The
- 11:15Speaker 2: gods to their dear shelter. Take thee maid that justly
- 11:21Speaker 2: thinks and hast most rightly said.
- 11:26Speaker 1: To Goneril and Reagan and.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Your large speeches. May your deeds approve that good effects
- 11:35Speaker 2: may spring from words of love. Thus kent Oh Princes,
- 11:43Speaker 2: bid you all adieu. He'll shape his old course in
- 11:47Speaker 2: a country.
- 11:48Speaker 1: New exit flourish, enter Gloucester with France and Burgundy and attendants.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Here's France and Burgundy.
- 11:59Speaker 5: My noble lord, my Lord of Burgundy, we first addressed
- 12:04Speaker 5: towards you, who, with this king hath rivaled for our daughter.
- 12:09Speaker 5: What in the least will you require in present dower
- 12:12Speaker 5: with her? Nor cease your quest of.
- 12:14Speaker 9: Love, most Royal Majesty, I crave no more than hath
- 12:18Speaker 9: your highness offered, Nor will you tender less.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Rite Noble Burgundy. When she was dear to us, we
- 12:25Speaker 5: did hold her so, But now her price is fallen, Sir,
- 12:30Speaker 5: There she stands if aught within that little seeming substance,
- 12:34Speaker 5: or all of it, with our displeasure pierced, and nothing
- 12:38Speaker 5: more may fitly like your grace. She is there, and
- 12:42Speaker 5: she is yours.
- 12:44Speaker 9: I know no answer will you with.
- 12:48Speaker 5: Those infirmities she owes, unfriended, new adopted to our hate,
- 12:52Speaker 5: dowed with our curse, and strangered with our oath. Take
- 12:56Speaker 5: her or leave her?
- 12:58Speaker 9: Pardon me, Royal Sir, election makes not up on such conditions.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Then leave her, Sir, for by the power that made me,
- 13:06Speaker 5: I tell you all her wealth to France for you,
- 13:10Speaker 5: great King, I would not, from your love make such
- 13:13Speaker 5: a stray to match you where I hate. Therefore beseech
- 13:17Speaker 5: you to a virt your liking I'm all worthy away
- 13:20Speaker 5: than on a wretch whom nature is ashamed almost to
- 13:23Speaker 5: acknowledge her.
- 13:25Speaker 10: This is most strange that she, who even but now
- 13:28Speaker 10: was your best object, the argument of your praise, balm
- 13:32Speaker 10: of your age, most best, most dearest in this trice
- 13:38Speaker 10: of time, commit to thing so monstrous to dismantle so
- 13:41Speaker 10: many fools of favor. Sure her offense must be of
- 13:46Speaker 10: such a natural degree that monsters it, or your forvouched
- 13:49Speaker 10: affection falling into daint, which to believe of her must
- 13:54Speaker 10: be a faith that reason without miracle should never plant
- 13:57Speaker 10: in me.
- 13:59Speaker 7: Yet I beseech your majesty, if for I want that
- 14:02Speaker 7: glib and oily art to speak and purpose not since
- 14:07Speaker 7: what I well intend, I'll do it before I speak,
- 14:11Speaker 7: that you make known. It is no vicious blot, murder
- 14:14Speaker 7: of foulness, no unchaste action, or dishonored step that hath
- 14:19Speaker 7: deprived me of your grace and favor. But even for
- 14:22Speaker 7: want of that which I am richer a still soliciting
- 14:26Speaker 7: eye and such a tongue as I am glad I
- 14:28Speaker 7: have not, though not to have it, hath lost me
- 14:32Speaker 7: in your liking.
- 14:34Speaker 5: Better thou hadst not been born not to have pleased
- 14:37Speaker 5: me better?
- 14:39Speaker 4: Is it?
- 14:39Speaker 10: But this a tardiness in nature which often leaves the
- 14:44Speaker 10: history and spoke that it intends to do. My Lord
- 14:47Speaker 10: of Burgundy, what are you to the lady? Love's not
- 14:51Speaker 10: love when it is mingled with regards that stands aloof
- 14:54Speaker 10: from the entire point? Will you have her? She is
- 14:58Speaker 10: herself a.
- 14:59Speaker 9: Dowry royal king. Give but that portion which yourself proposed.
- 15:04Speaker 9: And here I take Cordelia by the hand, Duchess of Burgundy.
- 15:09Speaker 5: Nothing I have sworn. I am firm to Cordelia.
- 15:14Speaker 9: I am sorry. Then you have so lost a father
- 15:17Speaker 9: that you must lose a husband.
- 15:19Speaker 7: Peace be with Burgundy, since that respects of fortune are
- 15:23Speaker 7: his love, I shall not be his wife.
- 15:27Speaker 10: FAIRI is Cordelia the ardmost rich, being poor, most choice, forsaken,
- 15:34Speaker 10: and most love despised thee and thy virtues. Here I
- 15:40Speaker 10: seize upon, be lawful. I take up what's cast away gods, gods.
- 15:48Speaker 10: Tis strange that from their coldest neglect my love should
- 15:52Speaker 10: kindle to inflamed respect, Thy dourless daughter, king thrown to
- 15:58Speaker 10: my chance, is queen of us, of ours and our
- 16:02Speaker 10: fair France, not all the dukes of Waterrish Burgundy can
- 16:06Speaker 10: buy this unprized pressures made of me. Bid them farewell, Cordelia,
- 16:11Speaker 10: doun kind, thou losest here a better where to find.
- 16:17Speaker 5: Thou hast her France. Let her be thine, for we
- 16:21Speaker 5: have no such daughter, nor shall ever see that face
- 16:24Speaker 5: of hers again. Therefore be gone without our grace. I
- 16:27Speaker 5: love our Benison, Come noble.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Burgundy, Flourish, excellent, Lear Burgundy, Cornwall, Albany, Gloucester and attendants.
- 16:39Speaker 6: B Farewell to your sisters.
- 16:41Speaker 7: The Jews of our father with washed eyes, Cordelia leaves you.
- 16:46Speaker 7: I know what you are, and like a sister a
- 16:49Speaker 7: most loath to call your faults as they are named.
- 16:53Speaker 7: Love well our father, to your professed bosoms, I commit him,
- 16:58Speaker 7: but yet allah us stood I within his grace. I
- 17:02Speaker 7: would prefer him to a better place. So farewell to you.
- 17:07Speaker 8: Both prescribe not us thou do ities.
- 17:11Speaker 6: Let your study be to content your Lord, who hath
- 17:14Speaker 6: received you at fortune's alms. You have obedience scanted and
- 17:18Speaker 6: well are worth the want that you have wanted.
- 17:22Speaker 7: Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides, who covers faults
- 17:27Speaker 7: at last shame them derides well. May you prosper come, my.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Fair Cordelia, excellent Franz and Cordelia sister.
- 17:37Speaker 6: It is not little I have to say of what
- 17:40Speaker 6: most nearly appertains to us both. I think our father
- 17:44Speaker 6: will hence to night.
- 17:45Speaker 8: That's most certain, and with you next month, with us.
- 17:51Speaker 6: You see how full of changes his age is. The
- 17:54Speaker 6: observation we have made of it. Hath not been little.
- 17:57Speaker 6: He always loved our sister most, And with what poor
- 18:01Speaker 6: judgment he hath now cast her off appears too grossly.
- 18:04Speaker 8: Tis the infirmity of his age. Yet he hath, ever
- 18:08Speaker 8: but slenderly known himself.
- 18:10Speaker 6: The best and soundest of his time. Hath been but
- 18:13Speaker 6: rash than must we look to receive from his age,
- 18:16Speaker 6: not alone the imperfections of long engraft condition, but therewithal,
- 18:20Speaker 6: the unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric years bring with them.
- 18:25Speaker 8: Set unconstant starts are we like to have from him?
- 18:29Speaker 8: As this of Kent's banishment.
- 18:32Speaker 6: There is further compliment of leave taking between France and him.
- 18:36Speaker 6: Pray let us hit together. If our father carry authority
- 18:40Speaker 6: with such dispositions as he bears, this last surrender of
- 18:43Speaker 6: his will but offend.
- 18:44Speaker 8: Us, we shall further think of it.
- 18:47Speaker 6: We must do something. And in the heat.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Exillant scene too a hall in the earl of Gloucester's castle, enter.
- 19:00Speaker 4: With a letter, Thou Nature art, my Goddess, to thy law,
- 19:09Speaker 4: my services are bound. Wherefore should I stand in the
- 19:15Speaker 4: plague of custom and permit the curiosity of nations to
- 19:19Speaker 4: deprive me? For that I am some twelve or fourteen
- 19:23Speaker 4: Moonshine's lag of a brother? Why bastard? Wherefore Base, when
- 19:29Speaker 4: my dimensions are as well compact, to my mind is generous,
- 19:33Speaker 4: and my shape as true as honest madam's issue, Why
- 19:36Speaker 4: brande us with base, with baseness, bastardly base, Base, who,
- 19:46Speaker 4: in the lusty stealth of nature, take more composition and
- 19:49Speaker 4: fierce quality than doth with a dull, stale tyrid bed
- 19:54Speaker 4: go to the creating of a whole tribe of fops
- 19:57Speaker 4: between a sleep and wake. Well, then, legitimate, Edgar, I
- 20:06Speaker 4: must have your land. Our father's love is to the
- 20:09Speaker 4: bastard Edmund, as to the legitimate, fine word legitimate, well,
- 20:21Speaker 4: my legitimate. If this letter speed and my invention thrive, Edmund,
- 20:29Speaker 4: the base shall top the legitimate I grow, I prosper.
- 20:39Speaker 4: How God's stand up for.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Bastards enter Gloucester.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Kent banished, thus and France in collar parted, and the
- 20:53Speaker 3: king gone to night subscribed, his power confined to exhibition.
- 20:59Speaker 3: All this upon the gad Edmund. How now, what news
- 21:05Speaker 3: so please your lordship?
- 21:07Speaker 4: None?
- 21:08Speaker 3: Why so earnestly seek you to put up that letter?
- 21:12Speaker 4: I know no news, my lord?
- 21:14Speaker 3: What paper? Were you reading?
- 21:17Speaker 4: Nothing? My lord?
- 21:19Speaker 11: No?
- 21:20Speaker 3: What needed then that terrible dispatch of it into your pocket?
- 21:23Speaker 3: The quality of nothing hath not such need to hide itself.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Let's see. Come. If it be nothing, I shall not
- 21:31Speaker 3: need spectacles.
- 21:33Speaker 4: I beseech you, sir, pardon me. It is a letter
- 21:36Speaker 4: from my brother that I have not all over read,
- 21:39Speaker 4: and for so much as I have perused, I find
- 21:42Speaker 4: it not fit for your looking.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Give me the letter, sir.
- 21:47Speaker 4: I shall offend either to detain or give it. The contents,
- 21:52Speaker 4: as in part I understand them, are to blame.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Let's see. Let's see.
- 21:58Speaker 4: I hope for my brother's justification he wrote this, but
- 22:02Speaker 4: as an essay or taste of my virtue.
- 22:07Speaker 3: This policy and reverence of age makes the world bitter
- 22:12Speaker 3: to the best of our times, keeps our fortunes from
- 22:17Speaker 3: us till our oldness cannot relish them. I begin to
- 22:21Speaker 3: find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of
- 22:25Speaker 3: aged tyranny, who sways not as it hath power, but
- 22:30Speaker 3: as it is suffered. Come to me that of this
- 22:34Speaker 3: I may speak more. If our father would sleep till
- 22:38Speaker 3: I waked him, you should enjoy half his revenue forever,
- 22:43Speaker 3: and live the beloved of your brother Edgar hum conspiracy,
- 22:50Speaker 3: sleep till I waked him. You should enjoy half his revenue.
- 22:55Speaker 3: My son, Edgar had he a hand to write this,
- 23:01Speaker 3: a heart and brain to breed it in. When came
- 23:05Speaker 3: this to you? Who brought it?
- 23:07Speaker 4: It was not brought me, my lord? There's the cunning
- 23:11Speaker 4: of it. I found it thrown in at the casement
- 23:14Speaker 4: of my closet.
- 23:15Speaker 3: You know the character to be your brother's.
- 23:18Speaker 4: If the matter were good, my Lord, I durst swear
- 23:21Speaker 4: it were his. But in respect of that, I would
- 23:25Speaker 4: fain think it were not.
- 23:28Speaker 3: It is his.
- 23:30Speaker 4: It is his hand, my lord, But I hope his
- 23:33Speaker 4: son heart is not in the contents.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Hath he never before sounded you in this business.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Never, my Lord? But I have heard him oft maintain
- 23:45Speaker 4: it to be fit that sons at perfect age and
- 23:50Speaker 4: father's decline. The father should be as ward to the son,
- 23:54Speaker 4: and the son manage his revenue.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Oh, villain, villain, his very opinion in the letter, abhorred villain, unnatural, detested,
- 24:06Speaker 3: brutish villain, worse than brutish. Go, sirrah seek him. I'll
- 24:12Speaker 3: apprehend him, abominable villain. Where is he?
- 24:17Speaker 4: I do not well know, my lord. If it shall
- 24:20Speaker 4: please you to suspend your indignation against my brother till
- 24:26Speaker 4: you can derive from him better testimony of his intent,
- 24:29Speaker 4: you should run a certain course where if you violently
- 24:33Speaker 4: proceed against him, mistaking his purpose, it would make a
- 24:37Speaker 4: great gap in your own honor, and shake in peaces
- 24:40Speaker 4: the heart of his obedience. I dare pawn down my
- 24:44Speaker 4: life for him that he hath writ this, to feel
- 24:46Speaker 4: my affection to your honor, and to no other pretense
- 24:49Speaker 4: of danger. Think you so, if your honor judged meat,
- 24:54Speaker 4: I would place you where you shall hear us confer
- 24:58Speaker 4: of this, and by auricular assurance have your satisfaction, and
- 25:03Speaker 4: that without any further delay than this very evening.
- 25:08Speaker 3: He cannot be such a monster. Nor it is not
- 25:12Speaker 3: sure to his father that so tenderly and entirely loves
- 25:18Speaker 3: him heaven and earth, Edmund, seek him out, wind me
- 25:23Speaker 3: into him. I pray you frame the business after your
- 25:26Speaker 3: own wisdom. I would unstate myself to be in a
- 25:30Speaker 3: due resolution.
- 25:32Speaker 4: I will seek him, sir, presently, convey the business as
- 25:36Speaker 4: I shall find means, and acquaint you withal.
- 25:40Speaker 3: These late eclipses in the sun and moon portend no
- 25:45Speaker 3: good to us, though the wisdom of nature can reason
- 25:48Speaker 3: it thus, and thus yet nature finds itself scourged by
- 25:53Speaker 3: the sequent effects. Love cools, friendship falls off. Brothers divide
- 26:01Speaker 3: in cities, mutinies in countries, discord in palaces, treason, and
- 26:09Speaker 3: the bond cracked TwixT son and father. This villain of
- 26:14Speaker 3: mine comes under the prediction their's son against father. The
- 26:20Speaker 3: king falls from bias of nature, theirs father against child.
- 26:26Speaker 3: We have seen the best of our time. Machinations, hollowness, treachery,
- 26:33Speaker 3: and all ruinous disorders follow us disquietly to our graves.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Find out this villain, Edmund, it shall lose thee nothing.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Do it carefully, and the noble and true hearted kent
- 26:49Speaker 3: banished his offense. Honesty tis strange exit.
- 26:58Speaker 4: This is the excellent foppery of the world that when
- 27:01Speaker 4: we are sick in fortune, often to the surfeit of
- 27:05Speaker 4: our own behavior, we make guilty our own disasters the sun,
- 27:10Speaker 4: the moon, and the stars, as if we were villains
- 27:14Speaker 4: on necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion, knaves, thieves and treatures
- 27:20Speaker 4: by spherical predominance, drunkards, liars and adulters by an enforced
- 27:27Speaker 4: obedience of planetary influence, and all that we are evil
- 27:32Speaker 4: in by a divine thrusting on an admirable evasion of horror,
- 27:39Speaker 4: master man to lay us goatish disposition to the charge
- 27:42Speaker 4: of a star. My father compounded with my mother under
- 27:48Speaker 4: the dragon's tale, and my nativity was under ursa major,
- 27:54Speaker 4: so that it follows I am rough and lecherous art,
- 28:00Speaker 4: I should have been that I am had the maidenly
- 28:04Speaker 4: at star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing enter
- 28:10Speaker 4: Edgar pat He comes like the catastrophe of the old comedy.
- 28:16Speaker 4: My cue is villainous, melancholy, with a sigh like tom
- 28:21Speaker 4: or Bedlam. Oh, these eclipses do portend, these divisions fasola me.
- 28:32Speaker 11: How now, brother Edmund, what serious contemplation are you in?
- 28:36Speaker 4: I am thinking rather of a prediction I read this
- 28:40Speaker 4: other day? What should follow these eclipses?
- 28:44Speaker 11: Do you busy yourself with that?
- 28:47Speaker 4: I promise you the effects, he writes of succeed unhappily,
- 28:51Speaker 4: as of unnaturalness between the child and the parent. Death, dearth,
- 28:55Speaker 4: dissolusions of ancient amities, divisions in state, menaces and maledictions
- 29:01Speaker 4: against king and nobles, needless diffidences, banishment of friends, dissipitation
- 29:07Speaker 4: of cohorts, nuptial breaches.
- 29:09Speaker 11: And I know not what how long have you been
- 29:13Speaker 11: a secretary astronomical?
- 29:15Speaker 4: Come? Come? Whence saw you? My father last the night
- 29:19Speaker 4: gone by? Spoke you with him.
- 29:22Speaker 11: I two hours together parted.
- 29:24Speaker 4: You in good terms, founding no displeasure in him by word.
- 29:28Speaker 11: Or countenance, none at all.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Bethink yourself wherein you may have offended him, And at
- 29:35Speaker 4: my entreaty forbear his presence until some little time hath
- 29:39Speaker 4: qualified the heat of a displeasure, which at this instance
- 29:43Speaker 4: so rageth in him, that with the mischief of your
- 29:47Speaker 4: person it would scarcely.
- 29:49Speaker 11: Allay some villain hath done me wrong.
- 29:53Speaker 4: That's my fear. I pray you have a continent forbearance
- 29:57Speaker 4: till the speed of his rage goes slower, and as
- 29:59Speaker 4: I say, retire with me to my lodging. From whence
- 30:03Speaker 4: I will fitly bring you to hear my lord speak.
- 30:06Speaker 4: Pray you go, there's my key. If you do stir abroad,
- 30:11Speaker 4: go armed, armed brother, brother, I advise you to the best.
- 30:19Speaker 4: I am no honest man. If there be any good
- 30:22Speaker 4: meaning towards you, I have told you what I have
- 30:25Speaker 4: seen and heard, but faintly nothing like the image and
- 30:29Speaker 4: horror of it.
- 30:30Speaker 11: Pray you away, shall I hear from you? And one I.
- 30:34Speaker 4: Do serve you in this business?
- 30:37Speaker 1: Exit Edgar.
- 30:41Speaker 4: Credulous father and a brother noble whose nature is so
- 30:46Speaker 4: far from doing harms that he suspects none. On whose
- 30:50Speaker 4: foolish honesty my practice is right easy, I see the business.
- 30:55Speaker 4: Let me, if not by birth have lands by wit
- 31:00Speaker 4: all with me? Is meet that I confession fit.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Exit Scene three A room in the Duke of Albany's palace.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Enter Goneril and Oswald her Steward.
- 31:18Speaker 6: Did my father strike my gentleman for chiding of his
- 31:21Speaker 6: fool I am madam by day and night. He wrongs me.
- 31:25Speaker 6: Every hour he flashes into one gross crime or another
- 31:29Speaker 6: that sets us all at odds. I'll not endure it,
- 31:32Speaker 6: his knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us on every trifle.
- 31:36Speaker 6: When he returns from hunting, I will not speak with him,
- 31:39Speaker 6: say I am sick. If you come slack of former services,
- 31:42Speaker 6: you shall do well. The fault of it, I'll answer.
- 31:45Speaker 12: He's coming, Madam. I hear him put.
- 31:48Speaker 6: On what weary negligence you please? You and your fellows.
- 31:51Speaker 6: I'd have it come to question. If he distaste it,
- 31:54Speaker 6: let him to our sister, whose mind and mine I know,
- 31:57Speaker 6: and that are one not to be overruled. A old
- 32:00Speaker 6: man that still would manage those authorities that he hath
- 32:03Speaker 6: given away now by my life. Old fools are babes
- 32:06Speaker 6: again and must be used with checks as flatteries when
- 32:10Speaker 6: they are seen abused. Remember what I have.
- 32:12Speaker 12: Said, very well, Madam, And.
- 32:15Speaker 6: Let his knights have colder looks among you. What grows
- 32:18Speaker 6: of it? No matter? Advise your fellows. So I would
- 32:21Speaker 6: breed from hence occasions, and I shall that I may speak.

- 33:35Speaker 2: I do profess to be no less than I seem.
- 33:38Speaker 2: To serve him truly? That will put me in trust
- 33:42Speaker 2: to love him that is honest, to converse with him
- 33:46Speaker 2: that is wise and says little, to fear judgment, to
- 33:51Speaker 2: fight when I cannot choose, and to eat no fish?
- 33:57Speaker 2: What art thou a very honest hearted fellow and as
- 34:02Speaker 2: poor as the king?

- 34:12Speaker 5: Who wouldst thou serve?
- 34:14Speaker 13: You?
- 34:15Speaker 5: Dost thou know me, fellow?
- 34:17Speaker 2: No, sir? But you have that and your countenance, which
- 34:21Speaker 2: I would fain, call master, what's that authority?
- 34:26Speaker 5: What services canst thou do?
- 34:28Speaker 2: I can keep honest, counsel, ride, run mar a curious
- 34:35Speaker 2: tale in telling it, and deliver a plain message bluntly,
- 34:40Speaker 2: that which ordinary men are fit for. I am qualified in,
- 34:45Speaker 2: and the best of me is diligence. How old art
- 34:50Speaker 2: thou not so young, sir, to love a woman for singing,

- 35:00Speaker 2: of yours on my back? Forty eight?

- 35:45Speaker 5: called him, sir?
- 35:46Speaker 14: He answered me in the roundest manner, he would not,
- 35:51Speaker 14: He would not, My lord, I know not what the
- 35:54Speaker 14: matter is. But to my judgment, your Highness is not
- 35:57Speaker 14: entertained with that ceremonious affection you were wont There's a
- 36:01Speaker 14: great abatement of kindness appears as well in the general dependence,
- 36:06Speaker 14: as in the Duke himself also and your daughter.
- 36:09Speaker 5: Huh sayest thou?
- 36:11Speaker 14: So I beseech you pardon me, my lord, if I
- 36:13Speaker 14: be mistaken for my duty. Cannot be silent when I
- 36:17Speaker 14: think your Highness wronged.
- 36:19Speaker 5: Thou, but rememberest me of mine own conception. I have
- 36:22Speaker 5: perceived a most faint neglect of late, which I have
- 36:25Speaker 5: rather blamed as mine own jealous curiosity than as a
- 36:29Speaker 5: very pretense and purpose of unkindness. I will look further
- 36:33Speaker 5: into it. But where's my fool? I have not seen
- 36:37Speaker 5: him these two days since my.
- 36:39Speaker 14: Young lady's going into France. Or the fool hath much
- 36:42Speaker 14: pind away?
- 36:43Speaker 5: No more of that I have noted it. Well, go
- 36:47Speaker 5: you and tell my daughter I would speak with her.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Exit third night, go you call hither my fool. Exit
- 36:56Speaker 1: another night? Enter oswald o you sir?

- 37:11Speaker 5: you slave, you cur I.
- 37:13Speaker 12: Am none of these, my Lord. I beseech your pardon.
- 37:16Speaker 5: Do you bandy looks with me, you rascal?
- 37:19Speaker 1: He strikes him.
- 37:21Speaker 2: I'll not be struck, my lord, nor tripped neither you
- 37:25Speaker 2: base football player.
- 37:27Speaker 1: He trips him.
- 37:29Speaker 5: I thank thee, fellow, Thou servest me, and I love thee.

- 37:40Speaker 2: Away away, if you will measure your lubber's length again, terry,
- 37:46Speaker 2: but away, go to have you wisdom.
- 37:50Speaker 1: He pushes Oswald out.
- 37:52Speaker 5: So now, my friendly knave, I thank thee. There's ernest
- 37:57Speaker 5: of thy service.
- 37:58Speaker 1: He gives him money, And to the fool.
- 38:02Speaker 15: Let me hire him too. Here's my coxcomb.
- 38:06Speaker 5: How now, my pretty knave, how dost.
- 38:08Speaker 15: Thou Sarah, you were best? Take my coxcomb?
- 38:13Speaker 2: Why fool?
- 38:15Speaker 15: Why for taking one's part? That's out of favor? Nay,
- 38:18Speaker 15: and thou canst not smile as the wind sits dealt
- 38:21Speaker 15: catch cold shortly? There?
- 38:23Speaker 1: Take my coxcomb?
- 38:25Speaker 15: Why this fellow has banished two one's daughters and did
- 38:28Speaker 15: the third of blessing against his will? If thou follow him,
- 38:32Speaker 15: thou must needs wear my cocks comb. How now, nunco,
- 38:37Speaker 15: would I had two coxcombs and two daughters. Why, my boy,
- 38:42Speaker 15: if I gave them all my living, I'd keep my
- 38:44Speaker 15: coxcombs myself. There's mine. Beg another of thy daughters.

- 38:53Speaker 15: The dog musta kennel. He must be whipped out when
- 38:56Speaker 15: the lady Brock may stand by the fire and stink.

- 39:08Speaker 15: have more than thou ShoWest, Speak less than thou knowest,
- 39:14Speaker 15: lend less than thou owest, ride more than thou goest,

- 39:25Speaker 15: leave thy drink in thy horror, and keep in a door,
- 39:29Speaker 15: and thou shalt have more than two tens.
- 39:32Speaker 1: To a score.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Hmm, this is nothing, fool, then.
- 39:37Speaker 15: Tis like the breath of an unfeed lawyer. You gave
- 39:41Speaker 15: me nothing for it. Can you make no use of nothing?
- 39:44Speaker 2: Nuncle?
- 39:45Speaker 5: Why no, boy, nothing can be made out of nothing.
- 39:49Speaker 15: To kent prithee, tell him so much the rent of
- 39:52Speaker 15: his land comes to he will not believe a.
- 39:55Speaker 5: Fool, a bit a fool.
- 39:58Speaker 15: Dost thou know the difference, my between a bitter fool
- 40:01Speaker 15: and a sweet one?
- 40:03Speaker 5: No, lad, teach me.
- 40:06Speaker 15: That lord that counseled thee to give away thy land.
- 40:10Speaker 15: Come place him here by me, do thou for him stand?
- 40:14Speaker 15: The sweet and bitter fool will presently appear, the one
- 40:18Speaker 15: in Motley here, the other found out there.
- 40:22Speaker 5: Dost thou call me fool boy?
- 40:24Speaker 15: All thy other titles thou hast given away that thou
- 40:27Speaker 15: wast born with, this.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Is not altogether fool, my lord.
- 40:32Speaker 15: No faith lords and great men will not let me.
- 40:36Speaker 15: If I had a monopoly out, they would have part
- 40:38Speaker 15: aunt and loads too. They will not let me have
- 40:42Speaker 15: all the fool to myself. They'll be snatching. N Uncle,
- 40:46Speaker 15: give me an egg, and I'll give thee two crowns.
- 40:49Speaker 5: What two crowns shall they be?
- 40:52Speaker 15: Why? After I've cut the egg in the middle and
- 40:54Speaker 15: eat up to meat the two crowns of the egg.
- 40:57Speaker 15: When thou clovest thy crown in the middle and gavest
- 41:00Speaker 15: the way both parts, thou boreest thine ass on thy
- 41:04Speaker 15: back er the dirt thou hadst little wit in thy
- 41:07Speaker 15: bald crowned. When thou gavest thy golden one away. If
- 41:11Speaker 15: I speak like myself in this, let him be whipped
- 41:14Speaker 15: that first finds it so fools head ne'er let's greece
- 41:19Speaker 15: sin a year, for wise men are grown foppish and
- 41:24Speaker 15: know not how their wits to wear. Their manners are
- 41:28Speaker 15: so apish.
- 41:30Speaker 5: When will you want to be so full of songs?
- 41:33Speaker 15: Sarah, I have used it, nuncle ere, since thou madest
- 41:37Speaker 15: thy daughters, thy mothers. For when thou gavest them the
- 41:40Speaker 15: rod and putest down thine own breeches, then they first said,
- 41:46Speaker 15: enjoyed it weep, And I for sorrow sung that such
- 41:51Speaker 15: a king should play bo peep and go the fools
- 41:55Speaker 15: among prythee nuncle, keep a school master that can teach
- 42:01Speaker 15: thy fool to lie. I would fain learn to lie.
- 42:04Speaker 5: And you lie, Sarah, we'll have you whipped.
- 42:07Speaker 15: I marvel what kin thou and thy daughters are. They'll
- 42:11Speaker 15: have me whip for speaking true. They'll have me whipped
- 42:14Speaker 15: for lying, And sometimes I am whipped for holding my peace.
- 42:19Speaker 15: I had rather be any kind of thing than a fool,
- 42:21Speaker 15: And yet I would not be thee uncle. Thou hast
- 42:24Speaker 15: pared thy widow both sides and left nothing in the middle,
- 42:28Speaker 15: here comes one of the pairings.
- 42:30Speaker 5: And to Goneril, how now, daughter, what makes that frontal?
- 42:34Speaker 16: Don me?
- 42:35Speaker 5: Thinks thou art too much of late of the frown.
- 42:38Speaker 15: Thou wast a pretty fellow when thou hadst no need
- 42:41Speaker 15: to care for her frowning. Now thou art to know
- 42:44Speaker 15: without a figure. I am better than thou art. I
- 42:47Speaker 15: am a fool. Thou art nothing to Goneril, Yes, forsooth,
- 42:52Speaker 15: I will hold my tongue so to your face bids me,
- 42:57Speaker 15: though you say nothing. Mam mam. He that keeps nor
- 43:01Speaker 15: crust nor crumb, weary of all shall want some.
- 43:05Speaker 1: He points to Leah.
- 43:07Speaker 15: That's a shield.
- 43:08Speaker 6: Peace cod Not only sir this you're all licensed fool,
- 43:13Speaker 6: but other of your insolent retinue do hourly carp and quarrel,
- 43:17Speaker 6: breaking forth in rank, and not to be endured riots. Sir,
- 43:21Speaker 6: I had thought, by making this well known unto you,
- 43:24Speaker 6: to have found a safe redress, but now grow fearful
- 43:27Speaker 6: by what yourself, too late have spoken done. That you
- 43:30Speaker 6: protect this course and put it on by your allowance,
- 43:33Speaker 6: which if you should, the fault would not scape censure
- 43:36Speaker 6: nor the redress's sleep, which in the tender of a
- 43:39Speaker 6: wholesome wheel, might in their working do you that offense
- 43:42Speaker 6: which else were shame that then necessity will call discreet proceeding.
- 43:47Speaker 15: For you know, nunko the hedge sparrow fed the cuckoo
- 43:51Speaker 15: so long that it had its head bit off by
- 43:54Speaker 15: it young. So out went the candle and we were
- 43:57Speaker 15: left darkling.
- 43:59Speaker 6: Oh you d come, sir, I would you would make
- 44:03Speaker 6: use of that good wisdom whereof I know you are fraught,
- 44:06Speaker 6: and put away these dispositions that have late transform you
- 44:10Speaker 6: from what you rightly are.
- 44:12Speaker 15: May not in ask know when the cart draws the horse,
- 44:14Speaker 15: whoop jug I love thee.
- 44:18Speaker 5: Doth any here know me? This is not leir? Doth
- 44:22Speaker 5: leir walk? Thus speak Thus where are his eyes either
- 44:27Speaker 5: his notion weakens, his discernings are lethargyd ah waking tis not?
- 44:32Speaker 5: So who is it that can tell me who I am?
- 44:36Speaker 5: Dear saddle, I would learn that, for by the marks

- 1:04:45Speaker 2: not have made him so ill, though he had been
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: but two hours at the trade.
- 1:04:51Speaker 20: To Oswald speak, Yet how grew your quarrel?
- 1:04:55Speaker 12: This ancient ruffian sir, whose life I have spared at
- 1:04:59Speaker 12: suit of his grave?
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Thou horsen z thou unnecessary letter, my lord? If you'll
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: give me leave, I will tread this unbolted villain into
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: mortar and daub the walls of a jake's with him.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Spare my gray beard, you wagtail.
- 1:05:17Speaker 20: Peace Arrah, you beastly knave. Know you no reverence?
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: Yes, sir, but anger hath a privilege?
- 1:05:26Speaker 20: Why art thou angry that such.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: A knave as this should wear a sword who wears
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: no honesty? Such smiling rogues as these like rats off
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: bite the holy cords a twain, which are two intrnse
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: to and loose smooth every passion that, in the natures
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: of their lord's rebel bring oil to the fire, snow
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: to their colder moods, reneg a firm, and turn their
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: halcyon beaks with every gale and very of their masters,
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: knowing not like dogs, but following a plague upon your
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: epileptic visage. Smile you my speeches, as if I were
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: a fool goose. An I had you upon sarrem plain,
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: I'd drive ye cackling home to Camelot.
- 1:06:28Speaker 20: What art thou, mad old fellow?
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: How fell you out say that no contraries hold more
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: antipathy than I?
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: And such a knave?
- 1:06:40Speaker 20: Why dost thou call him knave? What is his fault?
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: His countenance likes me not.
- 1:06:47Speaker 20: No more perchance does mine or his or hers?
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Sir, tis my preoccupation to be plain. I have seen
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: better faces in my time than stands on any show
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: that I see before me at this instant.
- 1:07:04Speaker 20: This is some fellow who, having been praised for bluntness,
- 1:07:08Speaker 20: doth affect a saucy roughness and constrains the garb quite
- 1:07:12Speaker 20: from his nature. He cannot flatter, he an honest mind
- 1:07:16Speaker 20: and plain. He must speak truth, and they will take it.
- 1:07:20Speaker 20: So if not he's plain. These kinds of knaves I
- 1:07:25Speaker 20: know which in this plainness harbor more craft and more
- 1:07:28Speaker 20: corrupt ends than twenty silly, ducking observants that stretch their
- 1:07:32Speaker 20: duties nicely.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, under the allowance
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: of your great aspect, whose influence like the wreath of
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: radiant fire on flickering Phoebus's front.
- 1:07:47Speaker 20: What means by this.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: To go out of my dialect which you discommend, or
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: much I know, Sir, I am no flatterer. He that
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: beguile you in a plain accent was a plain knave,
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: which for my part I will not be, though I
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: should win your displeasure to entreat me to it.
- 1:08:12Speaker 20: What was the offense you gave him?
- 1:08:14Speaker 12: I never gave him any. It pleased the King his master,
- 1:08:18Speaker 12: very late to strike at me upon his misconstruction, when
- 1:08:23Speaker 12: he compact and flattering his displeasure tripped me behind, being down, insulted, railed,
- 1:08:30Speaker 12: and put upon him such a deal of man that
- 1:08:33Speaker 12: worthied him got praises of the King for him attempting,
- 1:08:37Speaker 12: who was self subdued, And in the fleshment of this
- 1:08:41Speaker 12: dread exploit drew on me here again.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: None of these rogues and cowards, but Ajax is there fool.
- 1:08:50Speaker 20: Fetch forth the stocks, you stub an ancient knave, you
- 1:08:54Speaker 20: reverent braggot, will teach you.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Sir, I am too old to learn. Call not your
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: stocks for me. I serve the King on whose employment
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: I was sent to you. You shall do small respect,
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: show too bold malice against the grace and person of
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: my master stocking his messenger.
- 1:09:22Speaker 20: Fetch forth the stocks, as I have life and honor.
- 1:09:26Speaker 20: There shall he sit till noon, till noon till night,
- 1:09:30Speaker 20: my lord, and all night to.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: Why, Madam, if I were your father's dog, you should
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: not use me.
- 1:09:38Speaker 8: So, sir, Being his knave, I will this.
- 1:09:42Speaker 20: Is a fellow of the self same color our sister
- 1:09:45Speaker 20: speaks of. Come bring away the stocks, stocks brought out.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: Let me beseech your grace not to do so. His
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: fault is much, and the good King his master will
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: check him for it. Your purposed low correction is such
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: as basest and contemptedness. Wretches for pilferings and most common
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: trespasses are punished with. The King must take it ill
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: that he so slightly valued in his messenger should have
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: him thus restrained.
- 1:10:19Speaker 8: I'll answer that my sister may receive it much more
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: worse to have a gentleman abused, assaulted for following her
- 1:10:26Speaker 8: affairs put in his legs.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Kent is put in the stalks, exellent all but Gloucester
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: and Kent.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: I am sorry for thee friend tis the Duke's pleasure,
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: whose disposition all the world well knows will not be
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: rubbed nor stopped. I'll entreat for thee.
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: Pray do not, sir, I have watched and traveled hard.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: Some time I shall sleep out the rest. I'll whistle.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: A good man's fortune may grow out at heels, give
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: you good morrow.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: The dukes to blame in this twill be ill taken.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: Exit, good king, that must approve the common saw. Thou,
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: out of Heaven's benediction, comest to the warm sun. Approach
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: thou beacon to this under globe, that by thy comfortable
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: beings I may peruse this letter. Nothing almost sees miracles
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: but misery I notis from Cordelia, who hath most fortunately
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: been informed of my obscured course, and shall find time
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: from this enormous state seeking to give losses their remedy.
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: All weary and overwatched, take advantage. Heavy eyes not to
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: behold this shameful lodging fortune. Good night, smile once more, Ah,
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: turn thy wheel.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Hmm, he sleeps. Scene three, The open country Enter Edgar.
- 1:12:39Speaker 11: I heard myself proclaimed, and by the happy hollow of
- 1:12:42Speaker 11: a tree, escaped the hunt. No port is free, no
- 1:12:47Speaker 11: place that God and most unusual vigilance does not attend
- 1:12:51Speaker 11: my taking. While I may escape, I will preserve myself
- 1:12:56Speaker 11: and am bethought to take the basest and most poorest
- 1:13:00Speaker 11: shape that ever penury in contempt of man brought near
- 1:13:03Speaker 11: to beast my face. I'll grime with filth, blanket my
- 1:13:08Speaker 11: loins elf, all my hair in knots, and with present
- 1:13:12Speaker 11: nakedness outface the winds and persecutions of the sky. The
- 1:13:17Speaker 11: country gives me proof and precedent of bedlam beggars who
- 1:13:22Speaker 11: with roaring voices strike in their numbed and mortified bare arms, pins,
- 1:13:27Speaker 11: wooden pricks, nails, sprigs of rosemary, and with this horrible
- 1:13:33Speaker 11: object from low farms, poor pelting villages, sheep cuts and mills,
- 1:13:38Speaker 11: sometime with lunatic bands, sometime with prayers enforce their charity.
- 1:13:44Speaker 11: Poor turly God, poor arm. That's something yet, Edgar, I
- 1:13:55Speaker 11: nothing am exit.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Scene four, before Gloucester's Castle Kent is still in the stocks,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: and to Leah the fool and a gentleman.
- 1:14:16Speaker 5: Tis strange that they should so depart from home and
- 1:14:19Speaker 5: not send back my messenger.
- 1:14:22Speaker 17: As I learned the night before, there was no purpose
- 1:14:25Speaker 17: in them of this.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: Remove hail to thee noble master.
- 1:14:30Speaker 5: Huh makes thou to shame thy pastime?
- 1:14:34Speaker 15: No, my lord, haha, he wears cruel garters. Horses are
- 1:14:39Speaker 15: tied by the head, dogs and bears by the neck,
- 1:14:42Speaker 15: monkeys by the loins, and men by the legs. When
- 1:14:46Speaker 15: a man is over lusty at legs, then he wears
- 1:14:49Speaker 15: wooden nether stocks.
- 1:14:52Speaker 5: What's he that hath so much thy place misstoked to
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: set thee here?
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: It is both he and she your son and daughter. No, yes, no,
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: I say, I say.
- 1:15:07Speaker 5: Yeay, no, No, they would not.
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: Yes they have.
- 1:15:13Speaker 5: By Jupiter, I swear no.
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: By Juno, I swear I.
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: They dares not do it. They would not, could not
- 1:15:22Speaker 5: do it. Tis worse the murder to do upon respect.
- 1:15:25Speaker 5: Such violent outrage resolved me with all modest haste, which
- 1:15:30Speaker 5: way thou mightst deserve, or they impose this usage coming from.
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: Us, my lord? When at their home I did commend
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: your Highness's letters to them. Ere I was risen from
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: the place that showed my duty kneeling, came there a
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: reeking post, stewed in his haste, half breathless, panting forth
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: from Goneril his mistress salutations, delivered letters spite of intermission,
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: which presently they read, on whose contents they summoned up
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: their many straight took course, commanded me to follow and attend.
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: The leisure of their answer gave me cold looks, and
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: meeting here the other messenger, whose welcome I perceived had
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: poisoned mine, being the very fellow which of late displayed
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: so saucily against Your Highness, having more man than wit
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: about me, drew He raised the house with loud and
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: coward cries. Your son and daughter found this trespass worth
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: the shame which here it suffers.
- 1:16:56Speaker 15: Winter's not gone yet if the wild beast fly that way.
- 1:17:00Speaker 15: Fathers that wear rags do make their children blind, But
- 1:17:04Speaker 15: fathers that their bags shall see their children kind fortune.
- 1:17:09Speaker 15: That errant whore ne'er turns the key to the poor.
- 1:17:13Speaker 15: But for all this thou shalt have as many dollars
- 1:17:16Speaker 15: for their daughters as thou canst tell in a year.
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: Oh, how this mother swells up toward my heart hysterica.
- 1:17:25Speaker 5: Pass it down, thy climbing sorrow, thy elements below? Where
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: is this.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: Daughter with the earl?
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: Sir?
- 1:17:33Speaker 5: Here within, follow me not stay here?
- 1:17:38Speaker 17: Exit made you no more offense, But what you speak
- 1:17:43Speaker 17: of none?
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: How chance the king comes with so small a number.
- 1:17:50Speaker 15: And thou hadst been set in the stocks for that question,
- 1:17:53Speaker 15: thou hadst well deserved it.
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: A wifle will.
- 1:17:58Speaker 15: Set thee to school, to ant to teach thee. There's
- 1:18:01Speaker 15: no laboring in the winter. All that follow their noses
- 1:18:05Speaker 15: are led by their eyes, but blind men. And there's
- 1:18:08Speaker 15: not a nose among twenty but can smell him that's stinking.
- 1:18:12Speaker 15: Let go thy hold when a great wheel runs down
- 1:18:15Speaker 15: a hill, lest it break thy neck with following it.
- 1:18:18Speaker 15: But the great one that goes up the hill, let
- 1:18:21Speaker 15: him draw thee after. When a wise man gives thee
- 1:18:25Speaker 15: better counsel, give me mine again, I would have none,
- 1:18:28Speaker 15: but knaves follow it. Since a fool gives it. That sir,
- 1:18:34Speaker 15: which serves and seeks for gain, and follows but for form,
- 1:18:37Speaker 15: will pack when it begins to rain and leave thee
- 1:18:40Speaker 15: in the storm. But I will tarry the fool will
- 1:18:44Speaker 15: stay and let the wise man fly. The knave turns,
- 1:18:48Speaker 15: fool that runs away, the fool no knave, perdee.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: Where learn't you?
- 1:18:53Speaker 4: This fool?
- 1:18:55Speaker 15: Not in the stalks?
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Fool and to Lear and Gloucester.
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: Deny to speak with me. They are sick, they are weary,
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: they have traveled all the night. Mere fetches the images
- 1:19:09Speaker 5: of revolt and flying off. Petch me a better.
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: Answer, my dear lord. You know the fiery quality of
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: the duke, how unremovable and fixed he is in his
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: own course.
- 1:19:22Speaker 5: Vengeance, plague, death, confusion? Fiery? What quality? Why Goster gosta
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: Art speak with the Duke of Cornwall and his wife?
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: Well, my good Lord, I have informed them, so informed them.
- 1:19:36Speaker 5: Dost thou understand me.
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: Ma'am I, my good lord?
- 1:19:40Speaker 5: The king would speak with Cornwall, the dear father would
- 1:19:44Speaker 5: with his daughter speak commands her service? Are they inform'd
- 1:19:48Speaker 5: of this? My breath and blood? Fiery? The fiery Duke
- 1:19:53Speaker 5: tell the hot Duke that no, but not yet. Maybe
- 1:19:57Speaker 5: he is not well. Infirmity doth to neglect all office
- 1:20:01Speaker 5: where to our health is bound. We are not ourselves
- 1:20:04Speaker 5: when nature, being oppressed, commands the mind to suffer with
- 1:20:07Speaker 5: the body. I'll forbear, and I'm fallen out with my
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: more headier will to take the indisposed and sickly fit
- 1:20:15Speaker 5: for the sound man death on my state? Wherefore should
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: he sit here? This act persuades me that this remotion
- 1:20:22Speaker 5: of the Duke and her is practice. Only give me
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: my servant forth, go tell the Duke and wife. I'd
- 1:20:29Speaker 5: speak with them now. Presently, bid them come forth and
- 1:20:33Speaker 5: hear me. Or at their chamber door, I'll beat the
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: drum till it cries sleep to death.
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: I would have all well betwixt you exit.
- 1:20:44Speaker 5: Oh me, my heart, my rising heart, But down.
- 1:20:49Speaker 15: Cry to it, nuncle, as the Cockney did to the
- 1:20:52Speaker 15: eels when she put him in a paste alive, She
- 1:20:55Speaker 15: napped them. Oh the cocks combs with a stick and
- 1:20:57Speaker 15: cried down Wanton's down. Twas her brother that, in pure
- 1:21:03Speaker 15: kindness to his horse, buttered his hay.
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: And to Cornwall. Reagan, Gloucester and servants.
- 1:21:11Speaker 20: Good morrow, do you both pail to your grace?
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: Kent is here set at liberty.
- 1:21:17Speaker 8: I am glad to see your Highness, Reagan.
- 1:21:20Speaker 5: I think you are. I know what reason I have
- 1:21:23Speaker 5: to think so if thou shouldst not be glad I
- 1:21:26Speaker 5: would divorce me from thy mother's tomb, sepulchering an adulteress
- 1:21:31Speaker 5: to Kent. Oh, are you free some other time for
- 1:21:35Speaker 5: that beloved Reagan? Thy sisters not, Oh Reagan, she hath
- 1:21:40Speaker 5: tied sharp toothstone kindness like a vulture.
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: Here laying his hand on his heart.
- 1:21:46Speaker 5: I can scarce speak to thee thou not believe with
- 1:21:49Speaker 5: how depraved a quality, Oh Reagan.
- 1:21:52Speaker 8: I pray you, sir, take patience. I have hope you
- 1:21:55Speaker 8: must know how to value her desert than she discant
- 1:21:59Speaker 8: her duty.
- 1:22:00Speaker 5: Say how is that?
- 1:22:02Speaker 8: I cannot think my sister in the least would fail
- 1:22:05Speaker 8: her obligation. If Sir, perchance she have restrained the riots
- 1:22:11Speaker 8: of your followers, tis on such crowned and to such wholesome,
- 1:22:15Speaker 8: and as clear asir, from all blame.
- 1:22:19Speaker 5: My curse is on her, Oh sir, you are.
- 1:22:22Speaker 8: Old nature in you stands on the very verge of
- 1:22:26Speaker 8: her confine. You should be ruled and led by some discretion.
- 1:22:30Speaker 8: Let discerner state better than you yourself. Therefore, I pray
- 1:22:35Speaker 8: you that to our sister you do make return. So
- 1:22:40Speaker 8: you have wronged her, sir.
- 1:22:42Speaker 5: Ask her forgiveness? Do you but mark how this becomes
- 1:22:45Speaker 5: the house.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: He kneels.
- 1:22:47Speaker 5: Dear daughter, I confess that I am old. Age is
- 1:22:51Speaker 5: unnecessary on my knees. I beg that you'll vouchsafe me
- 1:22:55Speaker 5: raiment bed and food.
- 1:22:57Speaker 8: Good Sir, No more, these are slightly tricks. Return you
- 1:23:01Speaker 8: to my sister rising.
- 1:23:04Speaker 5: Never Reagan, she hath abated me of half my train.
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: Look black upon me, struck me with her tongue most
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: serpent like upon the very heart. All the stored vengeances
- 1:23:15Speaker 5: of heaven fall on her, ingrateful top strike her young bones.
- 1:23:20Speaker 5: You taking airs with lameness.
- 1:23:22Speaker 20: Fie, sir, fi.
- 1:23:24Speaker 5: You nimble lightnings, dart your blinding flames into her scornful eyes,
- 1:23:29Speaker 5: infect her beauty. You fend such fogs drawn by the
- 1:23:32Speaker 5: powerful sun to fall and blast her pride.
- 1:23:36Speaker 8: Oh the blessed gods, so will you wish on me
- 1:23:39Speaker 8: when the rash mood is on.
- 1:23:42Speaker 5: No, Reagan, thou shalt never have my curse. Thy tender
- 1:23:45Speaker 5: hefted nature shall not give thee awe to harshness. Her
- 1:23:49Speaker 5: eyes are fierce, But thine do comfort and not burn.
- 1:23:53Speaker 5: Tis not in thee to grudge my pleasures, to cut
- 1:23:55Speaker 5: off my train, to bandy hasty words, to scant my sizes,
- 1:24:00Speaker 5: and in conclusion to oppose the bolt against my coming in.
- 1:24:03Speaker 5: Thou better knowest the offices of nature, bond of childhood,
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: effects of courtesy, dues of gratitude, Thy half of the kingdom.
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: Hast thou not forgot wherein I thee endowed, good sir,
- 1:24:16Speaker 5: to the berbose who put my man in the stocks?
- 1:24:20Speaker 20: Ah, what trumpet's that?
- 1:24:22Speaker 8: I know it? My sisters, this approves her letter that
- 1:24:27Speaker 8: she would soon be here.
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: Enter Oswald, is your lady?
- 1:24:31Speaker 8: Come?
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: This is a slave whose easy borrowed pride dwells in
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: the fickle grace of her He follows out Violet from
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: my sight?
- 1:24:39Speaker 20: What means your grace?
- 1:24:42Speaker 5: Who stocked my servant? Reagan? I have good hope thou
- 1:24:45Speaker 5: didst not know? Aunt?
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Enter Goneril, who comes here?
- 1:24:49Speaker 5: Oh heavens, if you do love old men, if your
- 1:24:53Speaker 5: sweet sway, allow obedience, if yourselves are old, make it
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: your cause sent down? And take my part to Goneril.
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: H not a shame to look upon this beard, Oh Reagan.
- 1:25:04Speaker 5: Wilt thou take her by the hand?
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: Why not by the hand, sir? How have I offended?
- 1:25:10Speaker 6: All's not offense? That indiscretion finds in dotage terms.
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: So oh sides, you are too tough? Will you yet help?
- 1:25:18Speaker 5: How came my man in the stocks?
- 1:25:21Speaker 20: I set him there, sir, But his own disorders deserved
- 1:25:25Speaker 20: much less advancement.
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: You you did.
- 1:25:29Speaker 8: I brave you, father, being weak, seems though, if till
- 1:25:35Speaker 8: the expiration of your month you will return, and Sir Johanne,
- 1:25:39Speaker 8: with my sister, dismissing half your train, come then to me.
- 1:25:44Speaker 8: I am now from home, and out of that provision
- 1:25:47Speaker 8: which shall be needful for your entertainment.
- 1:25:50Speaker 5: Return to her and fifty men dismissed. No, Rather, I
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: abjure all ruse and choose to wage against the end
- 1:25:57Speaker 5: of the air, to be a comrade with the wolf
- 1:25:59Speaker 5: and owl necessity's sharp pinch. Return with her. Why the
- 1:26:05Speaker 5: hot blooded France that dowerless took our youngest born, I
- 1:26:09Speaker 5: could as well be brought to knee his throne and
- 1:26:11Speaker 5: squire like pension Beck to keep base life afoot. Return
- 1:26:15Speaker 5: with her. Persuade me rather to be slave and sumpter
- 1:26:19Speaker 5: to this detested groom.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: He points to Oswald.
- 1:26:23Speaker 5: At your choice, sir, I prithee daughter, do not make
- 1:26:27Speaker 5: me mad. I will not trouble thee my child. Farewell,
- 1:26:31Speaker 5: we'll no more meat, no more see one another. But
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter, or
- 1:26:39Speaker 5: rather a disease that in my flesh, which I must
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: needs call mine. Thou art a boil, a plague, sore,
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood. But I'll not
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: chide thee. Let shame come when it will, I do
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: not call it. I do not bid the thunderbearer shoot,
- 1:26:57Speaker 5: nor tell tales of thee to high judging jove men win.
- 1:27:00Speaker 5: Thou canst be better at thy leisure? I can be patient,
- 1:27:05Speaker 5: I can stay with the Reagan, I and my hundred knights.
- 1:27:09Speaker 8: Not altogether. So I look not for you yet, nor
- 1:27:13Speaker 8: am provided for your fit. Welcome, Give ea, sir, to
- 1:27:17Speaker 8: my sister. For those that mingle reason with your passion
- 1:27:21Speaker 8: must be content to think you old and so. But
- 1:27:25Speaker 8: she knows what she does?
- 1:27:28Speaker 5: Is this well spoken?
- 1:27:30Speaker 8: I'd aer a vouch it, sir? What fifty followers?
- 1:27:34Speaker 6: Is it not?
- 1:27:35Speaker 8: Well? What should you need of more? Yeah? Here were
- 1:27:38Speaker 8: so many sith that both charge and danger speak, and
- 1:27:42Speaker 8: so great a number. How in one house should many
- 1:27:45Speaker 8: people underdue commands?
- 1:27:47Speaker 23: Old?
- 1:27:47Speaker 8: Amity tis odd almost impossible?
- 1:27:51Speaker 6: Why might not you, my lord, receive attendance from those
- 1:27:55Speaker 6: that she calls servants or from mine?
- 1:27:57Speaker 8: Why not, my lord? If that answer to splack you,
- 1:28:02Speaker 8: we would control them. If you will come to me
- 1:28:05Speaker 8: for now I spy a danger. I entreat you to bring,
- 1:28:09Speaker 8: but five and twenty to no more will I give
- 1:28:12Speaker 8: place or notice.
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: I gave you all, and in good time you gave it,
- 1:28:19Speaker 5: made you my guardians, my depositories, but kept a reservation
- 1:28:23Speaker 5: to be followed with such a number. What must I
- 1:28:26Speaker 5: come to you with five and twenty? Reagan said you so.
- 1:28:31Speaker 8: And speak it again, my lord, No more with me.
- 1:28:34Speaker 5: Those wicked creatures? Yet do look well favored when others
- 1:28:38Speaker 5: are more wicked? Not being the worst, stands in some
- 1:28:41Speaker 5: rank of praise to Goneril, I'll go with thee thy fifty,
- 1:28:46Speaker 5: Yet doth double five and twenty and thou art twice
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: her love?
- 1:28:51Speaker 6: Hear me, my lord? What needs you five and twenty
- 1:28:54Speaker 6: ten or five to follow? When a house where twice
- 1:28:57Speaker 6: so many have a command to tend you white need one?
- 1:29:02Speaker 5: Oh reason? Not the need? Our basest beggars are in
- 1:29:05Speaker 5: the poorest thing superfluous, Allow not nature more than nature needs.
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: Man's life is cheap as beasts. Thou art a lady,
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: if only to go warm were gorgeous white nature needs
- 1:29:17Speaker 5: not what thou gorgeous wearst which scarcely keeps thee warm.
- 1:29:21Speaker 5: But for true need, you, Heavens, give me that patience, patience,
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: I need you, see me, hear you. God's a poor
- 1:29:29Speaker 5: old man, as full of grief as age, wretched in both.
- 1:29:34Speaker 5: If it be you that stirs these daughter's hearts against
- 1:29:36Speaker 5: their father, fool me not so much to bear it.
- 1:29:39Speaker 5: Tamely touch me with noble anger, and let not woman's
- 1:29:43Speaker 5: weapons water drops tain my man's cheeks. No, Hugh, unnatural hags.
- 1:29:49Speaker 5: I will have such revenges on you both that all
- 1:29:52Speaker 5: the world share. I will do such things. Mohi't they
- 1:29:55Speaker 5: are yet? I know not, But they shall be the
- 1:29:57Speaker 5: terrors of the earth. You'll think I'll no, I'll not weep.
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: I have full course of weeping. But this heart shall
- 1:30:04Speaker 5: break into a hundred thousand floors where I'll weep. Oh, fool,
- 1:30:09Speaker 5: I shall go mad.
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: Excellent lear Gloucester kent the fall, and gentleman, let.
- 1:30:16Speaker 20: Us withdraw twill be a storm.
- 1:30:18Speaker 8: This house is little. The old man and his people
- 1:30:21Speaker 8: cannot be well.
- 1:30:22Speaker 6: Bestowed tis his own blame. Hath put himself from rest,
- 1:30:26Speaker 6: and must needs taste his folly.
- 1:30:28Speaker 8: For his particular I'll receive him gladly, but not one follower.
- 1:30:34Speaker 6: So I am purposed. Where is my Lord of Gloucester?
- 1:30:37Speaker 20: Followed the old man? Forth? He is returned, enter Gloucester.
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: The king is in high rage.
- 1:30:44Speaker 20: Whither is he going?
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: He calls to horse? But will I know not?
- 1:30:48Speaker 20: Whither tis best to give him away?
- 1:30:51Speaker 6: He leads himself, my Lord, entreat him by no means
- 1:30:54Speaker 6: to stay alack.
- 1:30:56Speaker 3: The night comes on, and the high winds sorely ruffle
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: for many miles about. There's scarce, a.
- 1:31:04Speaker 8: Bush oser, a wilful men. The injuries that they themselves
- 1:31:09Speaker 8: brokeure must be their schoolmasters. Shut up your doors. He
- 1:31:14Speaker 8: is attended with a desperate train, and what they may
- 1:31:18Speaker 8: in sense him to being apt to have his ear
- 1:31:21Speaker 8: abused wisdom bids fear.
- 1:31:25Speaker 20: Shut up your doors, my lord, tis a wild night,
- 1:31:29Speaker 20: My Reagan Council's well, come out of the storm.
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: Excellent end of Act two, Act three, seene one A
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: heath a storm with thunder and lightning, enter Kent, and
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: a gentleman meeting.
- 1:31:50Speaker 17: Who's there besides foul weather, one minded like the weather
- 1:31:57Speaker 17: most unquietly.
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: Bye, know you? Where's the king?
- 1:32:03Speaker 17: Contending with the fretful elements, bids the wind blow the
- 1:32:07Speaker 17: earth into the sea, or swell the curled waters above
- 1:32:10Speaker 17: the main, that things might change or cease, tears his
- 1:32:15Speaker 17: white hair, which the impetuous blasts with eyeless rage catch
- 1:32:20Speaker 17: in their fury and make nothing of strives in his
- 1:32:24Speaker 17: little world of man to outscorn the to and fro
- 1:32:28Speaker 17: conflicting wind and rain this night, wherein the cub drawn
- 1:32:33Speaker 17: there would crouch the lion and the belly pinched wolf
- 1:32:38Speaker 17: keep their fur dry unbonneted. He runs and bids what
- 1:32:42Speaker 17: will take all?
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: But who is with him?
- 1:32:47Speaker 17: None but the fool who labors to outjest his heart
- 1:32:50Speaker 17: struck injuries.
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: Sir, I do know you, and dare, upon the warrant
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: of my note, commend a dear thing to you. There
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: is division, although has yet the face of it be
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: covered with mutual cunning, TwixT Albany and Cornwall, who have
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: not that their great stars thrown and set high servants
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: who seem no less, which are to france the spies
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: and speculations intelligent of our state? What hath been seen,
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: either in snuffs and packings of the dukes, or the
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: hard rain which both of them have borne against the
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: old kind king, or something deeper, whereof perchance these are
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: but furnishings. But true it is from France there comes
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: a power into this scattered kingdom, who already wise in
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: our negligence, have secret feet in some of our best ports,
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: and are at point to show their open banner now
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: to you. If on my credit you dare build so
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: far to make your speed to Dover, you shall find
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: some that will thank you, making just report of how unnatural,
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: and be madding sorrow the king hath caused to plane.
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: I am a gentleman of blood and breeding, and from
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: some knowledge an assurance, offer this office to you.
- 1:34:38Speaker 17: I will talk further with you.
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: No, do not, for confirmation that I am much more
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: than my outlaw. Open this purse and take what it contains.
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: If you shall see Cordelia as fear not, but you
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: shall show her this ring, and she will tell you
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: who your fellow is, that yet you do not know.
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: Fie on this storm. I will go seek the king.
- 1:35:13Speaker 17: Give me your hand. Have you no more to say.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: Few words, but to effect more than all yet that
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: when we have found the king in which you're pain
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: that way, I'll this he that first lights on him,
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: Pollah the other.
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: Exent severally. Scene two, another part of the heath. The
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: storm continues, Enter Leah and the fall.
- 1:35:48Speaker 5: Blow winds and crack your cheeks. Rage, blow you cataracts
- 1:35:54Speaker 5: and hurricanoes, spout till you have drenched our steeples, drowned
- 1:35:58Speaker 5: the cocks you offer us, and thought executing fires, want
- 1:36:03Speaker 5: couriers to oak, cleaving thunderbolts singe my white heads, and
- 1:36:07Speaker 5: thou all shaking thunder strike flat the thick rotundity of
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: the world, crack nature's molds. All Germans spill at once
- 1:36:17Speaker 5: that making grateful man.
- 1:36:20Speaker 15: Oh Nuncle court, Holy water in a dry house is
- 1:36:23Speaker 15: better than this rain water out of the door. Good
- 1:36:27Speaker 15: nuncle in and ask thy daughter's blessing. Here's a knight
- 1:36:31Speaker 15: pities neither wise men nor fools.
- 1:36:34Speaker 5: Rumble thy bellyful spit, fire, spout, rain, nor rain, wind,
- 1:36:39Speaker 5: thunder fire of my daughters. I tax you, not you
- 1:36:42Speaker 5: elements with unkindness. I never gave you kingdom, called you children.
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: You owe me no subscription. Then let for your horrible
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: pleasure here I stand your slave, a poor, infirm, weak
- 1:36:56Speaker 5: and despised old man. But yet I call you servile ministers,
- 1:37:01Speaker 5: that will, with two pernicious daughters join your high engendered
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: battle against their heads so old and white as this, Oh,
- 1:37:10Speaker 5: oh tis foul.
- 1:37:13Speaker 15: He that has a house to put his head in
- 1:37:15Speaker 15: has a good head piece. The cord piece that will
- 1:37:18Speaker 15: house before the head has any the head, and he
- 1:37:22Speaker 15: shall louse so beggars marry many. The man that makes
- 1:37:26Speaker 15: his toe what he his heart should make, shall have
- 1:37:30Speaker 15: a corn cry wool, and turn his sleep to wake.
- 1:37:34Speaker 15: For there was never yet fair woman, but she made
- 1:37:36Speaker 15: mouths in a glass, And to kent.
- 1:37:40Speaker 5: No, I will be the pattern of all patients. I
- 1:37:44Speaker 5: will say nothing.
- 1:37:47Speaker 15: Who's there, Mary, Here's grace and a cord piece. That's
- 1:37:52Speaker 15: a wise man and a fool.
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: A lester? Are you here? Things that night love nuts,
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: Such nights as these, the wrathful skies gallow the very
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: wanderers of the dark, and make them keep their caves.
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: Since I was man, such sheets of fire, such bursts
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: of horrid thunder, such groans of roaring wind and rain,
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: I never remember to have heard. Man's nature cannot carry
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: the affliction, nor the fear.
- 1:38:34Speaker 5: Let the great gods that keep this dreadful pother our
- 1:38:37Speaker 5: heads find out their enemies. Now tremble, thou wretch that
- 1:38:41Speaker 5: hast within the undivulged crimes, unwhipped of justice, Hide thee
- 1:38:47Speaker 5: thou bloody hand, thou perjured, and thou similar man of
- 1:38:50Speaker 5: virtue that art incestuous kate if to peace's shake, that
- 1:38:54Speaker 5: under covert and convenient seeming, has practiced on man's life,
- 1:38:59Speaker 5: close pent up guilts, rive your concealing continence, and cry
- 1:39:04Speaker 5: these dreadful summoner's grace. I am a man more sinned
- 1:39:08Speaker 5: against than sinning.
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: A lack bare headed gracious my lord, hard by here
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: is a hobble some friendship? Will it lend you against
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: the tempest Freepose you there? Whilst I to this hard house,
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: more harder than the stones whereof tis raised, which even
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: now demanding, after you denied me to come in return
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: and force their scanted courtesy.
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: My wits begin to turn. Come on, my boy, how
- 1:39:47Speaker 5: does my boy hot cold? I am cold myself? Where
- 1:39:51Speaker 5: is this straw?
- 1:39:52Speaker 16: My fellow?
- 1:39:53Speaker 5: They aught of our necessities? Is strange that can make
- 1:39:57Speaker 5: vile things precious?
- 1:40:00Speaker 4: Your hovel, poor fool.
- 1:40:02Speaker 5: And knave. I have one part in my heart that's sorry.
- 1:40:06Speaker 15: Yet for thee he that hasn't a little tiny wit
- 1:40:12Speaker 15: with hey ho the wind and the rain must make
- 1:40:16Speaker 15: content with his fortunes fit for the rain it raineth every.
- 1:40:21Speaker 5: Day, True boy, Come bring us to this hovel, excellent
- 1:40:29Speaker 5: Leah and kent.
- 1:40:31Speaker 15: This is a brave knight to cool a cortisan. I'll
- 1:40:34Speaker 15: speak a prophecy.
- 1:40:35Speaker 16: Ere I go.
- 1:40:38Speaker 15: When priests are more in words than matter, when brewers
- 1:40:41Speaker 15: mar their malt with water, when nobles are their tailor's tutors,
- 1:40:46Speaker 15: no heretics burnt, but wenches suitors. When every case in
- 1:40:50Speaker 15: law is right, no squire in debt, nor no poor knight.
- 1:40:56Speaker 15: When slanders do not live in tongues, nor cut purses
- 1:41:00Speaker 15: come not to throngs. When usurers tell their gold in
- 1:41:04Speaker 15: the field, and bods and horrors do churches build. Then
- 1:41:09Speaker 15: shall the realm of Albion come to great confusion? Then
- 1:41:13Speaker 15: comes the time who lives to see it that going
- 1:41:17Speaker 15: shall be used with feet. This prophecy Merlin shall make
- 1:41:22Speaker 15: for I live before his time.
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: Exit Scene three. A room in Gloucester's castle. Enter Gloucester and.
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: Edmund a lack a lack, Edmund, I like not this
- 1:41:39Speaker 3: unnatural dealing. When I desired their leave that I might
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: pity him, they took from me the use of mine
- 1:41:45Speaker 3: own house, charged me on pain of perpetual displeasure. Neither
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: to speak of him, entreat for him, nor any ways
- 1:41:53Speaker 3: sustain him.
- 1:41:55Speaker 4: Most savage and unnatural.
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: Go to say you nothing. There is division betwixt the dukes,
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: and a worse matter than that I have received a
- 1:42:06Speaker 3: letter this night tis dangerous to be spoken. I have
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: locked the letter in my closet. These injuries the King
- 1:42:13Speaker 3: now bears will be revenged home. There is part of
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: a power already footed. We must incline to the King.
- 1:42:22Speaker 3: I will seek him and privily relieve him. Go you
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: and maintain talk with the Duke, that my charity be
- 1:42:29Speaker 3: not of him perceived. If he ask for me, I
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: am ill and gone to bed. If I die for it,
- 1:42:36Speaker 3: as no less is threatened me. The King, my old master,
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: must be relieved. There is some strange thing toward Edmund.
- 1:42:46Speaker 3: Pray you be careful.
- 1:42:49Speaker 4: Exit this courtesy forbid thee. Shall the Duke instantly know,
- 1:42:56Speaker 4: and of that letter too. This seems a fair deserving,
- 1:43:01Speaker 4: and must draw me that which my father loses no
- 1:43:05Speaker 4: less than all the younger rises when the old doth fall.
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: Exit Scene four, A part of the heath with a
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: hovel storm continues. Enter lear Kent and the fall.
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: Here is the place, my lord, good, my lord, enter
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: the tyranny of the open nights, too rough for nature
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: to endure.
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: Let me alone, good, my lord enter here, wilt break
- 1:43:43Speaker 5: my heart?
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: I had rather break mine own? Could my lord enter?
- 1:43:50Speaker 5: Thou think'stis much that this contentious storm invades us to
- 1:43:53Speaker 5: the skin, so tis to thee. But where the greater
- 1:43:57Speaker 5: malady is fixed, the letter is scarce. Else thou'lt shun
- 1:44:01Speaker 5: a bear. But if thy flight lay towards the raging sea,
- 1:44:05Speaker 5: thou'dst meet the bear in the mouth. When the mind's free,
- 1:44:08Speaker 5: the body is delicate. The tempest in my mind does
- 1:44:12Speaker 5: from my senses take all feeling else save what beats
- 1:44:15Speaker 5: there filial ingratitude. Is it not as this mouth should
- 1:44:21Speaker 5: tear this hand for lifting food to it? But I
- 1:44:24Speaker 5: will punish ho no, I will weep no more. It's
- 1:44:30Speaker 5: such a night to shut me out. Poor, I will
- 1:44:34Speaker 5: endure in such a night as this ole vegan goneril
- 1:44:39Speaker 5: your kind old father, whose frank heart gave all.
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: Oh that way.
- 1:44:45Speaker 5: Madness lies, make me shun that. No more of that.
- 1:44:50Speaker 2: Good my lord, enter here.
- 1:44:53Speaker 5: Pretty, go in thyself, seek thine own knees. This tempest
- 1:44:58Speaker 5: will not give me leave to ponder on things would
- 1:45:01Speaker 5: hurt me more. But I'll go in in, boy, go first,
- 1:45:06Speaker 5: you houseless poverty, Nay, get thee in. I'll pray, and
- 1:45:11Speaker 5: then I'll sleep. Exit the fall, poor naked wretches, wheresoeer
- 1:45:16Speaker 5: you are by the pelting of this pitiless storm? How
- 1:45:20Speaker 5: shall your houseless heads and unfed sides, your loops and
- 1:45:24Speaker 5: windows raggedness defend you from seasons such as these? Oh,
- 1:45:29Speaker 5: I attain too little care of this, Take pomp, expose
- 1:45:34Speaker 5: thyself to feel what wretches feeled, that thou mayst shake
- 1:45:38Speaker 5: the super flux to them and show the heavens more.
- 1:45:41Speaker 11: Just Adam and arf, Adam and arf, poor harm.
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: Enter the fall from the hovel.
- 1:45:50Speaker 15: Come not in here, nuicole, Here's a spirit, help me, help.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: Me give me thy hand. Who's there a spirit?
- 1:45:57Speaker 5: A spirit?
- 1:45:58Speaker 15: He says, his name's poor Tom.
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: What art thou that dust grumble there at the straw?

- 2:05:40Speaker 8: To Whose hands have you sent the lunatic king? Speak?
- 2:05:45Speaker 3: I have a letter, guessingly set down, which came from
- 2:05:49Speaker 3: one that's of a neutral heart, and not from one opposed.
- 2:05:53Speaker 20: Cunning and false. Where hast thou sent the king to Dover?
- 2:05:58Speaker 8: Wherefore de Dover? Wast thout not charged at Beryl?
- 2:06:03Speaker 20: Wherefore to Dover? Let him first answer.
- 2:06:05Speaker 3: That I am tied to the stake, and I must
- 2:06:09Speaker 3: stand the.
- 2:06:09Speaker 16: Course well boarded over sir, because.
- 2:06:13Speaker 3: I would not see thy cruel nails pluck out his
- 2:06:17Speaker 3: poor old eyes, nor thy fierce sister in his anointed
- 2:06:22Speaker 3: flesh stick boorish fangs the sea with such a storm
- 2:06:27Speaker 3: as his bare head in hell black night endur'd would
- 2:06:31Speaker 3: have buoyed up and quench'd the stell'd fires. Yet, poor
- 2:06:36Speaker 3: old heart, he hope the heavens to reign. If wolves
- 2:06:42Speaker 3: had at thy gait howl'd that stern time, thou shouldst
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: have said, good porter, turn the key, all cruels else subscrib'd.
- 2:06:54Speaker 3: But I shall see the winged vengeance overtake such children
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: see it.
- 2:06:59Speaker 20: Thou shalt never fellows, hold the chair upon these eyes
- 2:07:03Speaker 20: of thine. I'll set my foot.
- 2:07:06Speaker 3: He that will think to live till he be old,
- 2:07:09Speaker 3: give me some help, Oh cruel, Oh ye.
- 2:07:13Speaker 8: Gods, one side will mark another the other.
- 2:07:17Speaker 20: Do if you see vengeance?
- 2:07:20Speaker 23: Hold your hand, my lord. I have served you ever
- 2:07:23Speaker 23: since I was a child. But better service have I
- 2:07:26Speaker 23: never done you than now to bid you hold.
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: Oh, now, you dog.
- 2:07:31Speaker 23: If you did wear a beard upon your chin, I'd
- 2:07:33Speaker 23: shake it on this quarrel.
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: Cornwall draws his sword.
- 2:07:36Speaker 20: What do you mean, my villain?
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: He lunges at him.
- 2:07:40Speaker 23: Nay, then come on and take the chance of anger.
- 2:07:44Speaker 1: He wounds cornwall.
- 2:07:46Speaker 8: Give me thy sword, a peasant stand up.
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: Thus she takes a sword and runs at him behind.
- 2:07:52Speaker 23: Oh I am slain, my lord, you have one eye
- 2:07:56Speaker 23: left to see some mischief on him?
- 2:07:59Speaker 20: Oh he dies, lest it seem more? Prevent it out,
- 2:08:05Speaker 20: vile jelly. Where is thy lusteron now?
- 2:08:10Speaker 3: All dark and comfortless? Where's my son? Edmund? Edmund enkindle
- 2:08:19Speaker 3: all the sparks of nature to quit this horrid act?
- 2:08:23Speaker 8: Thou dreader's villain? Thou call'st on him that hates thee.
- 2:08:27Speaker 8: It was he that made the overture of thy treasons
- 2:08:31Speaker 8: to us? Who is too good to bity thee?
- 2:08:34Speaker 3: O my follies? Then Edgar was abused. Kind gods, forgive
- 2:08:44Speaker 3: me that and prosper him.
- 2:08:47Speaker 8: Go thrust him out at gates and let him smell
- 2:08:50Speaker 8: his waded.
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: Over exit a servant with Gloucester.
- 2:08:54Speaker 8: How is it, my lord? How look you I.
- 2:08:57Speaker 20: Have received a Hurtllow me lady, turn out that eyeless villain.
- 2:09:04Speaker 20: Throw this slave upon the dunghill. Reagan, I bleed apace
- 2:09:09Speaker 20: untimely comes this hurt. Give me your.
- 2:09:12Speaker 1: Arm exit Cornwall, supported by Reagan.
- 2:09:16Speaker 19: I'll never care what wickedness I'd do if this man
- 2:09:20Speaker 19: come to good.
- 2:09:21Speaker 14: If she lived long and in the end meet the
- 2:09:23Speaker 14: old course of death, women will altern monsters.
- 2:09:27Speaker 19: Let's follow the old earl and get the bedlamb to
- 2:09:30Speaker 19: lead him where he would. His roguish madness allows itself
- 2:09:34Speaker 19: to anything.
- 2:09:35Speaker 14: Go thou. I'll fetch some flax and whites of eggs
- 2:09:38Speaker 14: to apply to his bleeding face.
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: Now Heaven help it exit by opposite doors. End of
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: Act three, Act four, Scene one. The heath enter.
- 2:09:55Speaker 11: Edgar, yet better thus and known to be con ted,
- 2:10:00Speaker 11: then still contemned and flattered to be worst, The lowest
- 2:10:05Speaker 11: and most dejected thing of fortune stands still in experance,
- 2:10:10Speaker 11: lives not in fear. The lamentable change is from the
- 2:10:13Speaker 11: best the worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then, thou, unsubstantial air,
- 2:10:20Speaker 11: that I embrace the wretch that thou hast blown unto
- 2:10:24Speaker 11: the worst, owes nothing to thy blasts.
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: Enter Gloucester, led by an old man.
- 2:10:30Speaker 11: But who comes here my father poorly lad world, World,
- 2:10:38Speaker 11: O world, But that thy strange mutations make us hate
- 2:10:43Speaker 11: thee life would not yield to age.
- 2:10:46Speaker 25: Oh, my good Lord, I have been your tenant and
- 2:10:51Speaker 25: your father's tenant these four score years away.
- 2:10:57Speaker 3: Get thee away, good friend, begone. Thy comforts can do
- 2:11:01Speaker 3: me no good at all thee they may hurt.
- 2:11:05Speaker 25: You cannot see your way.
- 2:11:07Speaker 3: I have no way, and therefore want no eyes. I
- 2:11:12Speaker 3: stumbled when I saw full oft tis seen our means
- 2:11:17Speaker 3: secure us and our mere defects prove our commodities. Oh,
- 2:11:22Speaker 3: dear son Edgar, the food of thy abused father's wrath.
- 2:11:27Speaker 3: Might I but live to see thee in my touch?
- 2:11:30Speaker 3: I'd say I had eyes again?
- 2:11:33Speaker 25: Oh No, who's there?
- 2:11:36Speaker 11: Oh God? Who est can say? I am at the worst?
- 2:11:40Speaker 11: I am worse than heir I was?
- 2:11:43Speaker 25: Tis poor, mad tom.
- 2:11:48Speaker 11: And worse I may be. Yet the worst is not
- 2:11:51Speaker 11: so long as we can say this is the worst fellow?
- 2:11:55Speaker 3: Where goest is it a beggar man?
- 2:11:58Speaker 25: Madman and beggar two?
- 2:12:01Speaker 3: He has some reason else he could not beg In
- 2:12:04Speaker 3: the last night's storm, I such a fellow saw, which
- 2:12:08Speaker 3: made me think a man a worm. My son came
- 2:12:12Speaker 3: then into my mind, and yet my mind was then scarce.
- 2:12:15Speaker 3: Friends with him, I have heard more since. As flies
- 2:12:20Speaker 3: to wanton boys, are we to the gods? They kill
- 2:12:24Speaker 3: us for their sport.
- 2:12:26Speaker 11: How should this be bad? Is the trade that must
- 2:12:30Speaker 11: play fool to sorrow, angering itself and others. Bless thee master, is.
- 2:12:36Speaker 3: That the naked fellow ay my lord, then prithee get
- 2:12:41Speaker 3: thee gone. If for my sake thou wilt o'ertake us,
- 2:12:44Speaker 3: hence a mile or twain in the way toward dover,
- 2:12:47Speaker 3: do it for ancient love, and bring some covering for
- 2:12:50Speaker 3: this naked soul, which I'll entreat to lead.
- 2:12:53Speaker 25: Me alack, sir, he is mad.
- 2:12:56Speaker 3: Tis the time's plague when mad men lead the blind.
- 2:13:00Speaker 3: Do as I bid thee, or rather do thy pleasure
- 2:13:03Speaker 3: above the rest be gone?
- 2:13:05Speaker 25: I bring him the best peril that I have command?
- 2:13:09Speaker 3: What will exit surrah, naked fellow?
- 2:13:14Speaker 11: Poor Tom's a cold I cannot daub bit further.
- 2:13:18Speaker 3: Come hither, fellow, And.
- 2:13:20Speaker 11: Yet I must bless thy sweet eyes.
- 2:13:24Speaker 3: They plead knowest thou the waited dover.
- 2:13:29Speaker 11: Both stoyle and gait archway and footpath. Poor tarm hath
- 2:13:32Speaker 11: been scared out of his good wit. Bless thee good
- 2:13:34Speaker 11: Man's son from the foul fiend. Five fiends have been
- 2:13:39Speaker 11: in poor Tom at once of lust, as obedicut obedidence,
- 2:13:45Speaker 11: Prince of dumbness, Mahu of stealing, Modo of murder, flippity,
- 2:13:51Speaker 11: Gibbet of mopping and mowing, who since possesses chambermaids and
- 2:13:54Speaker 11: waiting women. So bless thee.
- 2:13:57Speaker 3: Master here take this purse, Thou whom the heaven's plagues
- 2:14:01Speaker 3: have humbled to all strokes, that I am wretched, makes
- 2:14:05Speaker 3: thee the happier heavens deal so still. Let the superfluous
- 2:14:11Speaker 3: and lust dieted man that slaves your ordinance, that will
- 2:14:15Speaker 3: not see because he does not feel fuel your power quickly.
- 2:14:19Speaker 3: So distribution should undo excess, and each man have enough.
- 2:14:25Speaker 3: Dost thou know, dover, I master, there is a cliff
- 2:14:29Speaker 3: whose high and bending head looks fearfully in the confined deep.
- 2:14:34Speaker 3: Bring me but to the very brim of it, and
- 2:14:36Speaker 3: I'll repair the misery. Thou dost bear with something rich
- 2:14:40Speaker 3: about me? From that place, I shall no leading need.
- 2:14:44Speaker 11: Give me thy arm. Poor Tom shall lead.
- 2:14:48Speaker 1: Thee exiant scene too. Before the Duke of Alban's palace
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: enter Goneril and Edmund Oswald, meeting.
- 2:15:02Speaker 6: Them, Welcome, my lord, I marvel our mild husband not
- 2:15:06Speaker 6: met us on the way. Now, where's your master.
- 2:15:09Speaker 12: Madam within, but never man so changed. I told him
- 2:15:15Speaker 12: of the army that was landed. He smiled at it.
- 2:15:19Speaker 12: I told him you were coming. His answer was the
- 2:15:22Speaker 12: worse of Gloucester's treachery and the loyal service of his son.
- 2:15:27Speaker 12: When I informed him. Then he called me sot and
- 2:15:30Speaker 12: told me I had turned the wrong side out. What
- 2:15:33Speaker 12: most he should dislike seems pleasant to him?
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: What like offensive to Edmund?
- 2:15:40Speaker 6: Then shall you go no further. It is the cowish
- 2:15:43Speaker 6: terror of his spirit that dares not undertake. He'll not
- 2:15:47Speaker 6: feel wrongs which tie him to an answer. Our wishes
- 2:15:50Speaker 6: on the way may prove effects back Edmund to my brother.
- 2:15:54Speaker 6: Hasten his musters and conduct his powers. I must change
- 2:15:58Speaker 6: arms at home and give the dis staff into my
- 2:16:00Speaker 6: husband's hands. This trusty servant shall pass between us ere
- 2:16:05Speaker 6: long you are like to hear. If you dare venture
- 2:16:08Speaker 6: in your own, behalf a mistress's.
- 2:16:10Speaker 1: Command giving a favor.
- 2:16:13Speaker 6: Wear this spare speech, Decline your head this kiss. If
- 2:16:17Speaker 6: it durst speak, would stretch thy spirits up into the air.
- 2:16:21Speaker 6: Conceive and fare.
- 2:16:23Speaker 4: Thee well yours in the ranks of death.
- 2:16:26Speaker 6: My most dear Gloucester.
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: Exit Edmund, oh.
- 2:16:31Speaker 6: The difference of man and man to thee. A woman's
- 2:16:35Speaker 6: services are due my fool usurps my body.
- 2:16:39Speaker 12: Madam, Here comes my lord, Exit, enter albany.
- 2:16:45Speaker 6: I have been worth the whistle.
- 2:16:47Speaker 13: Oh goneril, you are not worth the dust which the
- 2:16:51Speaker 13: rude wind blows in your face. I fear your disposition.
- 2:16:56Speaker 13: That nature which contemns it origin cannot be bordered. Certain
- 2:16:59Speaker 13: in its she that herself will sliver and disbranch from
- 2:17:04Speaker 13: her material sap must perforce whither and come to deadly.
- 2:17:08Speaker 6: Use no more. The text is foolish.
- 2:17:11Speaker 13: Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile filths. Savor
- 2:17:16Speaker 13: but themselves. What have you done? Tigers not daughters? What
- 2:17:22Speaker 13: have you performed? A father and a gracious aged man
- 2:17:28Speaker 13: whose reverence even the head lugged bear would lick, most barbarous,
- 2:17:34Speaker 13: most degenerate? Have you madded? Could my good brothers suffer
- 2:17:40Speaker 13: you to do it? A man a prince by him
- 2:17:43Speaker 13: so benefited? If that the heavens do not their visible
- 2:17:47Speaker 13: spirits send quickly down to tame these vile offenses, it
- 2:17:51Speaker 13: will come. Humanity must perforce prey on itself like monsters
- 2:17:56Speaker 13: of the deep.
- 2:17:57Speaker 6: Milk livered man the bearest cheek for blows, I head
- 2:18:01Speaker 6: for wrongs who hast not in thy brows, and I
- 2:18:04Speaker 6: discerning thine honor from thy suffering that not knowest fools?
- 2:18:08Speaker 6: Do those villains pity who are punished ere they have
- 2:18:11Speaker 6: done their mischief? Where's thy drum? France spreads his banners
- 2:18:15Speaker 6: in our noiseless land with plumed helm. Thy slayer begins threats,
- 2:18:19Speaker 6: whilst thou, a mortal fool, sits still and criest alac.
- 2:18:24Speaker 6: Why does he so.
- 2:18:26Speaker 13: See thyself devil? Proper deformity seems not in the fiend
- 2:18:30Speaker 13: so horrid as.
- 2:18:31Speaker 6: In woman, Oh vain fool, Thou.
- 2:18:35Speaker 13: Changed and self covered thing? For shame, de monster, not
- 2:18:40Speaker 13: thy feature wit my fitness to let these hands obey
- 2:18:44Speaker 13: my blood. They are apt enough to dislocate and tear
- 2:18:47Speaker 13: thy flesh and bones. Howe'er thou art a fiend, a
- 2:18:52Speaker 13: woman's shape doth shield.
- 2:18:54Speaker 6: Thee marry your manhood?
- 2:18:56Speaker 1: Now enter a messenger, What news.
- 2:19:00Speaker 9: Oh my good lord? The Duke of Cornwall's dead, slain
- 2:19:03Speaker 9: by his servant going to put out the other eye.
- 2:19:06Speaker 13: Of Gloucester Glocester's eyes.
- 2:19:09Speaker 9: A servant that he bred thrilled with remorse opposed against
- 2:19:13Speaker 9: the act, bending his sword to his great master, who
- 2:19:16Speaker 9: thereat and rage flew on him and amongst them felt
- 2:19:20Speaker 9: him dead, but not without that harmful stroke, which, since
- 2:19:23Speaker 9: hath plucked him.
- 2:19:24Speaker 13: After this shows you are above you justicers, that these
- 2:19:28Speaker 13: are nether crime. So speedily convenge, Oh poor Gloucester lost,
- 2:19:34Speaker 13: he is other.
- 2:19:34Speaker 9: I both both, my lord. This letter, Madam craves a
- 2:19:38Speaker 9: speedy answer tis from your sister.
- 2:19:41Speaker 6: One way I like this well, but being widow and
- 2:19:45Speaker 6: my Gloucester with her, may all the building in my
- 2:19:48Speaker 6: fancy pluck upon my hateful life. Another way, the news
- 2:19:52Speaker 6: is not so tart. I'll read an answer.
- 2:19:55Speaker 1: Exit.
- 2:19:57Speaker 13: Where was his son when they did take his eyes?
- 2:20:00Speaker 9: Come with my lady hither?
- 2:20:01Speaker 13: He is not here.
- 2:20:03Speaker 9: No, my good lord, I met him back again. Knows
- 2:20:06Speaker 9: he the wickedness I, my good lord, twas he informed
- 2:20:10Speaker 9: against him and quit the house on purpose that their
- 2:20:13Speaker 9: punishment might have the freer course.
- 2:20:15Speaker 13: Gloucester. I live to thank THEE for the love thou
- 2:20:19Speaker 13: ShoWest the king, and to revenge thine eyes. Come hither, friend,
- 2:20:24Speaker 13: tell me what more thou know'st exant.
- 2:20:32Speaker 1: Scene three, the French camp near Dover, and to Kent
- 2:20:37Speaker 1: and a gentleman.
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: Why the King of France has so suddenly gone back?
- 2:20:42Speaker 2: Know you the reason?
- 2:20:44Speaker 17: Something he left imperfect in the state which, since his
- 2:20:48Speaker 17: coming forth is thought of, which imports to the kingdom
- 2:20:51Speaker 17: so much fear and danger, that his personal return was
- 2:20:55Speaker 17: most required and necessary.
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: Who hath he left behind him?
- 2:20:59Speaker 17: General, the Mareschal of France, Monsieur lefarre?
- 2:21:03Speaker 2: Did your letters pierce the queen to any demonstration of grief?
- 2:21:09Speaker 17: Ay? Sir? She took them, read them in my presence,
- 2:21:13Speaker 17: and now and then an ample tear trilled down her
- 2:21:16Speaker 17: delicate cheek. It seemed she was a queen over her passion,
- 2:21:21Speaker 17: who most rebel like sought to be king oer her.
- 2:21:26Speaker 2: Oh, then it moved her not to.
- 2:21:30Speaker 17: A rage, patience and sorrow strove who should express her
- 2:21:34Speaker 17: goodliest you have seen sunshine and rain at once? Her
- 2:21:39Speaker 17: smiles and tears were like a better day, those happy
- 2:21:43Speaker 17: smilets that played on her ripe lip. Seemed not to
- 2:21:47Speaker 17: know what guests were in her eyes, which parted thence
- 2:21:51Speaker 17: as pearls from diamonds dropped in brief sorrow would be
- 2:21:56Speaker 17: a rarity most beloved, if all could so become.
- 2:21:59Speaker 2: It made she no verbal question.
- 2:22:03Speaker 17: Faith. Once or twice she heaved the name of Father
- 2:22:08Speaker 17: pantingly forth, as if it pressed her heart. Cried sisters, sisters,
- 2:22:14Speaker 17: shame of ladies, sisters, kent father, sisters. What if the
- 2:22:20Speaker 17: storm in the night let pity not be believed? There
- 2:22:25Speaker 17: she shook the holy water from her heavenly eyes and
- 2:22:29Speaker 17: clamor moistened. Then away she started to deal with grief alone.
- 2:22:34Speaker 2: It is the stars, the stars above us, govern our conditions.
- 2:22:40Speaker 2: Else oneself, mate and mate could not beget such different issues.
- 2:22:47Speaker 2: You spoke not with her sense? No was this before
- 2:22:51Speaker 2: the king returned? No, since, well, sir, the poor distressed
- 2:22:57Speaker 2: liers in the town, who sometimes in his better tune,
- 2:23:02Speaker 2: remembers what we are come about, and by no means
- 2:23:06Speaker 2: will yield to see his daughter.
- 2:23:08Speaker 17: Why, good sir, a sovereign.
- 2:23:10Speaker 2: Shame so elbows him. His own unkindness that stripped her
- 2:23:16Speaker 2: from his benediction, turned her to foreign casualties, gave her
- 2:23:21Speaker 2: dear rights to his dog hearted daughters. These things sting
- 2:23:26Speaker 2: his mind so venomously that burning shame detains him from Cordelia, A.
- 2:23:34Speaker 17: Lack poor gentleman of.
- 2:23:37Speaker 2: Albaniese and Cornwall's powers you heard.
- 2:23:41Speaker 17: Not tis so they are afoot Well.
- 2:23:44Speaker 2: Sir, I'll bring you to our master lear and leave
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: you to attend him some dear cause will in concealment
- 2:23:53Speaker 2: wrap me up a while. When I am known aright,
- 2:23:57Speaker 2: you shall not grieve lending me this sequaintance, I pray
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: you go along with.
- 2:24:02Speaker 1: Me, exiant scene for the French camp a tent, and
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: to Cordelia, physician and soldiers.
- 2:24:15Speaker 7: A lack tis he why he was met even now
- 2:24:19Speaker 7: as mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud, crowned with
- 2:24:24Speaker 7: rank fumitu and furrow weeds, with har loocks, hemlock, nettles,
- 2:24:29Speaker 7: cuckoo flowers, darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
- 2:24:34Speaker 7: in our sustaining corn. To soldiers a century, send forth,
- 2:24:39Speaker 7: search every acre in the high grown field, and bring
- 2:24:42Speaker 7: him to our.
- 2:24:43Speaker 1: Eye, Exiant soldiers, to physician.
- 2:24:47Speaker 7: What can man's wisdom in the restoring his breathed sense
- 2:24:51Speaker 7: he that helps him take all my outward worth?
- 2:24:55Speaker 16: There is means, madam, our fast and nurse of nature
- 2:24:59Speaker 16: is reposed which he lacks, that to provoke in him
- 2:25:02Speaker 16: are many simple as operative whose power will close the
- 2:25:05Speaker 16: eye of anguish.
- 2:25:06Speaker 7: All blessed secrets, all you, unpublished virtues of the earth
- 2:25:11Speaker 7: spring with my tears, be aident and remediate in the
- 2:25:15Speaker 7: good man's distress. Seek seek for him, lest his ungoverned
- 2:25:21Speaker 7: rage dissolve the life that wants the means to lead it.
- 2:25:25Speaker 9: Enter a messenger, news, Madam, the British powers are marching hitherward.
- 2:25:30Speaker 7: Tis known before our preparation stands in expectation of them. Oh,

- 2:26:10Speaker 8: But are my brother's powers set forth? I madam himself
- 2:26:15Speaker 8: in person.
- 2:26:15Speaker 12: There, Madam, with much ado, Your sister is the better soldier.
- 2:26:20Speaker 8: Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home, No, Madam,
- 2:26:26Speaker 8: what might im brought my sister's letter to him?
- 2:26:29Speaker 12: I know not, Lady.
- 2:26:31Speaker 8: Faith, he has posted ends on serious matter. It was
- 2:26:35Speaker 8: great ignorance Gloucester's eyes being out to let him live
- 2:26:39Speaker 8: where he arrives. He moves all hearts against us. Edmund
- 2:26:44Speaker 8: I think is gone in pity of his misery, to
- 2:26:48Speaker 8: despatch his knighted life. Moreover, to descry the strength of
- 2:26:54Speaker 8: the enemy.
- 2:26:55Speaker 12: I must needs after him, Madam. With my letter, our.
- 2:26:59Speaker 8: Troops set forth tomorrow. Stay with us. The ways are dangerous.
- 2:27:04Speaker 12: I may not, Madam, my lady charged my duty in
- 2:27:07Speaker 12: this business?
- 2:27:09Speaker 8: Why should she write to Edmund? Might not you transport
- 2:27:12Speaker 8: her purposes by word? But like something I know not what,
- 2:27:17Speaker 8: I'll love thee much.
- 2:27:19Speaker 12: Let me unseal the letter, Madam, I had rather.
- 2:27:22Speaker 8: I know your lady does not love her husband. I
- 2:27:25Speaker 8: am sure of that, And at her late being here,
- 2:27:28Speaker 8: she gave strange ayeliads and most speaking looks to noble Edmund.
- 2:27:34Speaker 8: I know you are of her bosom, I madam, I
- 2:27:39Speaker 8: speak an understanding you are. I know it. Therefore, I
- 2:27:43Speaker 8: do advise you take this note. My lord is dead,
- 2:27:48Speaker 8: Edmund and I have talked, and more convenient as he
- 2:27:51Speaker 8: for my hand than for your ladies. You may add more.
- 2:27:55Speaker 8: If you do find him, pray you give him this.
- 2:27:58Speaker 8: And when your mistress is the much from you, I
- 2:28:01Speaker 8: pray desire her call her wisdom doer, So fare you well?
- 2:28:06Speaker 8: And if you do chance to hear of that blind rader,
- 2:28:10Speaker 8: preferment falls on him that cuts him off.
- 2:28:13Speaker 12: Would I could meet him?
- 2:28:15Speaker 16: Madam?
- 2:28:16Speaker 12: I should show what party I do follow fairly well.
- 2:28:21Speaker 1: Exiant Scene six the country near Dover, enter Gloucester, and
- 2:28:31Speaker 1: Edgar dressed as a peasant.
- 2:28:34Speaker 3: When shall I come to the top of that same hell?
- 2:28:37Speaker 1: You do?
- 2:28:38Speaker 2: Climb up it?
- 2:28:38Speaker 11: Now? Look how we labor?
- 2:28:40Speaker 3: Methinks the ground is even.
- 2:28:42Speaker 11: Horrible steep hark. Do you hear the sea?
- 2:28:46Speaker 7: No?
- 2:28:47Speaker 1: Truly?
- 2:28:48Speaker 11: Why then your other senses grow imperfect by your eyes anguish?
- 2:28:53Speaker 3: So may it be? Indeed, methinks thy voice is altered,
- 2:28:56Speaker 3: and thou speakest in better phrase and matter than that
- 2:29:00Speaker 3: dotst You.
- 2:29:01Speaker 11: Are much deceived In nothing am I changed? But in my.
- 2:29:04Speaker 3: Garments methinks you're better spoken.
- 2:29:07Speaker 11: Come on, sir, here's the place. Stand still. How fearful
- 2:29:12Speaker 11: and dizzy tis to cast one's eyes so low? The
- 2:29:16Speaker 11: crows and chuffs that wing the midway air show scarce
- 2:29:20Speaker 11: so gross as beetles. Half way down hangs one that
- 2:29:25Speaker 11: gathers samphire a dreadful trade. Methinks he seems no bigger
- 2:29:30Speaker 11: than his head. The fishermen that walk upon the beach
- 2:29:34Speaker 11: appear like mice, and yond tall anchoring bark diminished to
- 2:29:38Speaker 11: her cock, her cock a boy almost too small for sight,
- 2:29:43Speaker 11: the murmuring surge that on the unnumbered idle pebble chafs
- 2:29:46Speaker 11: cannot be heard so high I'll look no more, lest
- 2:29:50Speaker 11: my brain turn and the deficient sight topple down. Headlong.
- 2:29:54Speaker 3: Set me where you stand, Give me your hand.
- 2:29:58Speaker 11: You are now within a foot of the extreme verge
- 2:30:02Speaker 11: for all beneath the moon. Would I not leap upright?
- 2:30:06Speaker 3: Let go my hand? Hear friends another purse in it,
- 2:30:10Speaker 3: a jewel well worth a poor man's taking. Fairies and
- 2:30:14Speaker 3: gods prosper it with thee go thou further off, Bid
- 2:30:18Speaker 3: me farewell, and let me hear thee.
- 2:30:20Speaker 11: Going now, fare you well, good sir, with all my heart.
- 2:30:25Speaker 11: Why I do trifle thus with his despair is done
- 2:30:28Speaker 11: to cure it.
- 2:30:30Speaker 3: Kneeling, O, you, mighty gods, this world I do renounce,
- 2:30:36Speaker 3: and in your sights shake patiently my great affliction off.
- 2:30:42Speaker 3: If I could bear it longer and not fall to
- 2:30:45Speaker 3: quarrel with your great opposeless wills my snuff and loathed
- 2:30:50Speaker 3: part of nature should burn itself out if edgar live,
- 2:30:55Speaker 3: Oh bless him now, fellow fare thee.
- 2:31:00Speaker 11: Well gone, sir, farewell.
- 2:31:05Speaker 1: Gloucester throws himself forward.
- 2:31:08Speaker 11: And yet I know not how conceit may rob the
- 2:31:11Speaker 11: treasury of life when life itself yields to the theft.
- 2:31:14Speaker 11: Had he been where he thought? By this? Had thought
- 2:31:18Speaker 11: been passed alive or dead? O you, sir friend, here you, sir,
- 2:31:25Speaker 11: speak thus mighty pass Indeed, yet he revives, sir, what
- 2:31:32Speaker 11: are you? Sir?
- 2:31:34Speaker 16: Away?
- 2:31:35Speaker 3: And let me die?
- 2:31:37Speaker 11: Hadst thou been aught? But gossamer feathers air so many
- 2:31:42Speaker 11: fathom down precipitating, thou'dst shiver like an egg, But thou
- 2:31:47Speaker 11: dost breathe hast heavy substance, bleedst not speaks art sound
- 2:31:55Speaker 11: ten mass at each make not the altitude which thou
- 2:31:58Speaker 11: hast perpendicularly fell Thy life is a miracle. Speak yet again?
- 2:32:03Speaker 3: But have I fallen?
- 2:32:04Speaker 2: Or no?
- 2:32:05Speaker 11: From the dread summit of this chalky born look up
- 2:32:08Speaker 11: a height The shrill gorged lark so far cannot be
- 2:32:12Speaker 11: seen nor heard. But do but look up.
- 2:32:15Speaker 3: A lack I have no eyes? Is wretchedness deprived that
- 2:32:20Speaker 3: benefit to end itself by death? Twas yet some comfort
- 2:32:24Speaker 3: when misery could beguile the tyrant's rage and frustrate his
- 2:32:28Speaker 3: proud will.
- 2:32:29Speaker 11: Give me your arm up. So howest will you your legs?
- 2:32:36Speaker 3: You stand too well, too well, this is a.
- 2:32:40Speaker 11: Pole strangeness upon the crown of the cliff. What thing
- 2:32:43Speaker 11: was that which parted from you?
- 2:32:45Speaker 3: A poor, unfortunate beggar.
- 2:32:47Speaker 11: As I stood here below, he thought his eyes were
- 2:32:49Speaker 11: two full moons. He had a thousand noses, horned, welked,
- 2:32:53Speaker 11: and waved like the enriched sea. It was some fiend. Therefore,
- 2:32:58Speaker 11: thou happy father, think that the clearest gods, who make
- 2:33:01Speaker 11: them honors of men's impossibility, have preserved thee.
- 2:33:04Speaker 3: I do remember now. Henceforth I'll bear affliction till it
- 2:33:08Speaker 3: do cry out itself enough enough and die. That thing
- 2:33:14Speaker 3: you speak of, I took it for a man, often
- 2:33:16Speaker 3: twould say the fiend, the fiend he led me to
- 2:33:20Speaker 3: that place.
- 2:33:22Speaker 11: Bear free and patient thoughts. But who comes.
- 2:33:25Speaker 1: Here into lear fantastically dressed with wild flowers?
- 2:33:31Speaker 11: The safest sense will ne'er accommodate his master.
- 2:33:33Speaker 5: Thus, no, they cannot touch me for coining. I am
- 2:33:38Speaker 5: the king himself.
- 2:33:39Speaker 11: Oh thou side, piercing sight.
- 2:33:43Speaker 5: Nature's above art in that respect, there's your press money.
- 2:33:48Speaker 5: That fellow handles his bow like a crow keeper. Draw
- 2:33:52Speaker 5: me a clother's yard. Look, look a mouse, Peace, peace,
- 2:34:00Speaker 5: This piece of toasted cheese will do it. There's my gauntlet.
- 2:34:04Speaker 5: I'll prove it on a giant. Bring up the brown bills.
- 2:34:09Speaker 5: Oh well, flown bird? Is the cloud? Did the cloud?

- 2:34:18Speaker 3: I know that voice.
- 2:34:20Speaker 1: He falls to his knees.

- 2:34:58Speaker 3: I do well. Remember it's not the king.
- 2:35:02Speaker 5: Ay, every inch a king. When I do stare see
- 2:35:06Speaker 5: how the subject quakes, I pardon that man's life. What

- 2:45:06Speaker 3: That I stand up and have ingenious feeling of my
- 2:45:09Speaker 3: huge sorrows? Better I were distract So should my thoughts
- 2:45:14Speaker 3: be severed from my griefs and woes by wrong imaginations
- 2:45:19Speaker 3: lose the knowledge of themselves.
- 2:45:23Speaker 11: Give me your hand far off, methinks I hear the
- 2:45:27Speaker 11: beaten drum. Come father, I'll bestow you with a friend.

- 2:46:05Speaker 2: Me to be acknowledged, Madam is or paid. All my
- 2:46:10Speaker 2: reports go with the modest truth, nor more nor clipped.
- 2:46:15Speaker 7: But so be better suited. These weeds are memories of
- 2:46:20Speaker 7: those worser hours. I prithee put them off.
- 2:46:24Speaker 2: Pardon dear madam, yet to be known shortens my made intent,
- 2:46:32Speaker 2: my boon. I make it that you know me not
- 2:46:35Speaker 2: till time, and I think.
- 2:46:38Speaker 7: Meet then be it so, my good Lord, to the physician,
- 2:46:42Speaker 7: how does.

- 2:47:40Speaker 7: two sisters have in thy reverence.
- 2:47:42Speaker 2: Made kind and dear princess.
- 2:47:47Speaker 7: Had you not been their father, these white flakes had
- 2:47:51Speaker 7: challenged pity of them? Was this a face to be
- 2:47:55Speaker 7: opposed against the warring winds, To stand against the deep
- 2:47:59Speaker 7: dread bolted thunder, in the most terrible and nimble stroke
- 2:48:04Speaker 7: of quick cross lightning, To watch poor perdue with this
- 2:48:09Speaker 7: thin helm, mine enemy's dog, though he had bit me,
- 2:48:14Speaker 7: should have stood that night against my fire and wst
- 2:48:18Speaker 7: Thou fain, poor father, to hovel thee with swine and rogues,
- 2:48:22Speaker 7: forlorn in short and musty straw, A lack a lack
- 2:48:29Speaker 7: tis wonder that thy life in wits at once had
- 2:48:32Speaker 7: not concluded all he wakes.
- 2:48:36Speaker 16: Speak to him, madam, do you tis fittest?
- 2:48:40Speaker 7: How does my royal lord? How fares your majesty?
- 2:48:45Speaker 5: You do me wrong to take me out the grave?
- 2:48:49Speaker 5: Thou art a soul in bliss, But I am bound
- 2:48:52Speaker 5: upon a wheel of fire that mine own tears do
- 2:48:56Speaker 5: scald like molten lead.
- 2:48:59Speaker 7: Sir, do know me?
- 2:49:01Speaker 5: You are a spirit?
- 2:49:02Speaker 2: I know?
- 2:49:04Speaker 5: When did you die?
- 2:49:06Speaker 4: Still?
- 2:49:07Speaker 7: Still far wide?
- 2:49:09Speaker 16: He's scarce awake, let him alone, Awhile where have I been?
- 2:49:14Speaker 5: Where am i?
- 2:49:16Speaker 4: Fair?
- 2:49:16Speaker 5: Daylight? I am mightily abused. I should even die with
- 2:49:20Speaker 5: pity to see another. Thus, I know not what to say.
- 2:49:26Speaker 5: I will not swear. These are my hands that sea,
- 2:49:30Speaker 5: I feel this pin prick. Would I were assured of
- 2:49:34Speaker 5: my condition?
- 2:49:36Speaker 7: Oh look upon me, sir, and hold your hands in benediction, or.
- 2:49:40Speaker 1: Me lear falls to his knees.
- 2:49:43Speaker 7: No Sir, you must not kneel.
- 2:49:46Speaker 5: Pray, do not mock me. I am a very foolish,
- 2:49:48Speaker 5: fond old man for score and upward, not an hour
- 2:49:53Speaker 5: more nor less, and to deal plainly, I fear I
- 2:49:58Speaker 5: am not in my perfect mine. The methinks I should
- 2:50:02Speaker 5: know you and know this man. Yet I am doubtful,
- 2:50:07Speaker 5: for I am mainly ignorant what place this is, and
- 2:50:11Speaker 5: all the skill I have remembers not these garments, nor
- 2:50:15Speaker 5: I know not where I did lodge last night. Do
- 2:50:20Speaker 5: not laugh at me, for as I am a man,
- 2:50:23Speaker 5: I think this lady to be my child Cordelia.
- 2:50:27Speaker 7: And so I am I am.
- 2:50:31Speaker 5: Be your tears wet, yes, faith, I pray, weep not.
- 2:50:38Speaker 5: If you have poison for me, I will drink it.
- 2:50:42Speaker 5: I know you do not love me, for your sisters
- 2:50:44Speaker 5: have as I do, remember, done me wrong. You have
- 2:50:47Speaker 5: some cause, they have not no cause.
- 2:50:52Speaker 11: No cause?
- 2:50:54Speaker 5: Am I in France, in your own kingdom, Sir, do
- 2:50:58Speaker 5: not abuse me.
- 2:51:00Speaker 16: Be comforted, good madam. The great rage you see is
- 2:51:03Speaker 16: killed in him, And yet it is danger to make
- 2:51:05Speaker 16: him even or the time he has lost, desire him
- 2:51:08Speaker 16: to go in trouble him no more till further settling.
- 2:51:11Speaker 12: Will it please your highness walk you must bear with me.
- 2:51:16Speaker 5: Bray you now forget and forgive. I am old and foolish.
- 2:51:22Speaker 1: Exit all but Kent and gentleman.
- 2:51:26Speaker 17: Holds it true, sir that the Duke of Cornwall was
- 2:51:29Speaker 17: so slain?
- 2:51:31Speaker 2: Most certain, Sir.
- 2:51:33Speaker 17: Who is conductor of his people?
- 2:51:35Speaker 2: As tis said the bastard son of.
- 2:51:38Speaker 17: Gloucester, They say, Edgar, his banished son, is with the
- 2:51:42Speaker 17: Earl of Kent in Germany.
- 2:51:44Speaker 2: Report is changeable. Tis time to look about the powers
- 2:51:50Speaker 2: of the kingdom. Approach apace.
- 2:51:53Speaker 17: The arbitrament is like to be bloody. Fare you well, sir.
- 2:51:58Speaker 1: Exit.
- 2:51:59Speaker 2: My point and period will be thoroughly wrought or well
- 2:52:05Speaker 2: or ill as this day's battle's fought.

- 2:52:40Speaker 4: to change the.
- 2:52:41Speaker 1: Course to Reagan.
- 2:52:43Speaker 4: He's full of alteration and self reproving to an officer,
- 2:52:48Speaker 4: bring his constant pleasure.
- 2:52:50Speaker 1: Exit Officer.
- 2:52:53Speaker 8: Our sister's man is certainly misgarried.
- 2:52:56Speaker 4: Tis to be doubted. Madam.
- 2:52:58Speaker 8: Now as we Lord, you know the goodness I intend
- 2:53:01Speaker 8: upon you, tell me but truly, but then speak the truth.
- 2:53:07Speaker 8: Do you not love my sister in honored love? But
- 2:53:11Speaker 8: have you never found my brother's way to be the fourfended.
- 2:53:15Speaker 4: Place that thought abuses you?
- 2:53:18Speaker 8: I am doubtful that you have been conjunct and bosomed
- 2:53:21Speaker 8: with her. As far as we.

- 2:53:26Speaker 8: I never shall endure dear my Lord, be not familiar

- 2:53:42Speaker 6: I had rather lose the battle than that sister should
- 2:53:45Speaker 6: loosen him and me.
- 2:53:47Speaker 13: Our very loving sister, well be met, Sir. This I
- 2:53:52Speaker 13: heard the King is come to his daughter with others
- 2:53:56Speaker 13: whom the rigor of our state forced to cry out
- 2:53:59Speaker 13: where I could not be honest. I never yet was
- 2:54:02Speaker 13: valiant for this business. It toucheth us as France invades
- 2:54:07Speaker 13: our land, not bolts the king with others whom I
- 2:54:10Speaker 13: fear most just and heavy causes make a pose.
- 2:54:15Speaker 4: Sir, you speak nobly?
- 2:54:17Speaker 8: Why is this reasoned?
- 2:54:20Speaker 6: Combine together against the enemy. For these domestic and particular
- 2:54:23Speaker 6: broils are not the question here.
- 2:54:26Speaker 13: Let's then determine with the ancient of war on our proceeding.
- 2:54:30Speaker 4: I shall attend you presently at your text.
- 2:54:33Speaker 8: Sister, you'll go with us, No to the most convenient
- 2:54:37Speaker 8: pray you go with us?
- 2:54:39Speaker 6: Oh, I know the riddle.
- 2:54:41Speaker 1: I will go excellent both the armies as Albany is
- 2:54:46Speaker 1: going out, Enter Edgar.
- 2:54:49Speaker 11: If ere your grace had speech with man so poor,
- 2:54:52Speaker 11: hear me one word to his captains.
- 2:54:55Speaker 13: I'll overtake you to Edgar.
- 2:54:57Speaker 11: Speak before you fight the battle. Ope this letter. If
- 2:55:02Speaker 11: you have victory, let the trumpet sound for him that
- 2:55:05Speaker 11: brought it wretched. Though I seem I can produce a
- 2:55:09Speaker 11: champion that will prove what is avouched there. If you
- 2:55:13Speaker 11: miscarry your business of the world, hath so an end
- 2:55:16Speaker 11: and machination ceases fortune?
- 2:55:20Speaker 13: Love you Stay till I have read the letter.

- 2:55:44Speaker 4: But your haste has now urged on you.
- 2:55:47Speaker 13: We will greet the time.
- 2:55:49Speaker 4: Exit to both these sisters have I sworn my love,
- 2:55:55Speaker 4: each jealous of the other as the stung are of
- 2:55:58Speaker 4: the adder. Which of them shall I take? Both? Um
- 2:56:07Speaker 4: one or neither neither can be enjoyed? Of both remain alive.
- 2:56:18Speaker 4: To take the widow exasperates makes matter, sister goneril, and
- 2:56:23Speaker 4: hardly shall I carry out my side. Her husband, being
- 2:56:27Speaker 4: alive now, then will use his countenance for the battle
- 2:56:33Speaker 4: which being done. Let her, who would be rid of him,
- 2:56:37Speaker 4: devise his speedy taking off, as for the mercy which
- 2:56:41Speaker 4: he intends to Leer and to Cordelia. The battle done,
- 2:56:45Speaker 4: and they within our power shall never see his pardon,
- 2:56:49Speaker 4: for my state stands on me to defend, not to debate.

- 2:57:32Speaker 11: go with you, sir.
- 2:57:35Speaker 1: Exit Edgar Alarum and retreat within. Enter Edgar away, old man,

- 2:57:46Speaker 1: and his daughter ten give me thy hand.
- 2:57:48Speaker 3: Come on no further, sir, A man may rot even
- 2:57:52Speaker 3: here what.
- 2:57:54Speaker 11: In ill thought? Again, men must endure their going. Hence,
- 2:57:57Speaker 11: even as they're coming hither ripeness is all.
- 2:58:00Speaker 3: Come on, and that's true too.
- 2:58:05Speaker 1: Exeant Scene three. The British camp near Dover enter in
- 2:58:14Speaker 1: Conquest with Drum and colors, Edmund, Lea and Cordelia as prisoners, officers, soldiers,
- 2:58:23Speaker 1: et cetera.
- 2:58:26Speaker 4: Some officers take them away good guard until their greater
- 2:58:30Speaker 4: pleasures first be known, that are to censor them.
- 2:58:33Speaker 7: We are not the first who, with best meaning, have
- 2:58:37Speaker 7: incurred the worst for the oppressed king. I am cast
- 2:58:41Speaker 7: down myself, could else out frown false fortunes frown to Edmund.
- 2:58:48Speaker 7: Shall we not see these daughters and these sisters?
- 2:58:51Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, Come let's away to prison. We
- 2:58:56Speaker 5: two alone will sing like birds of the cage. When
- 2:59:00Speaker 5: thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down and ask
- 2:59:03Speaker 5: of THEE forgiveness. So we'll live and pray and sing
- 2:59:07Speaker 5: and tell old tales, and laugh at gilded butterflies, and
- 2:59:11Speaker 5: hear poor rogues talk of court news, and we'll talk
- 2:59:15Speaker 5: with them too, who loses, and who wins, who's in
- 2:59:19Speaker 5: who's out, And take upon the mystery of things as
- 2:59:23Speaker 5: if we were God's spies. And we'll wear out in
- 2:59:27Speaker 5: a wall in prison. Packs and sects of great ones
- 2:59:30Speaker 5: that ebb and flow by the moon, take them away
- 2:59:35Speaker 5: upon such sacrifices, My Cordelia, the gods themselves throw incense.
- 2:59:40Speaker 5: Have I caught thee?
- 2:59:41Speaker 1: He embraces her.
- 2:59:43Speaker 5: He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven
- 2:59:45Speaker 5: and fire. As hence, like foxes wipe thine eyes. The
- 2:59:50Speaker 5: good years shall devour them flesh and fell ere they
- 2:59:54Speaker 5: shall make us weep. We'll see em starve.
- 2:59:56Speaker 1: First come excellent Lear and Cordelia guarded.
- 3:00:03Speaker 4: Come hither, captain Hark. Take thou this note, go follow
- 3:00:08Speaker 4: them to prison. One step I advanced thee. If thou
- 3:00:12Speaker 4: dost as this instructs thee, thou dost make thy way
- 3:00:17Speaker 4: to noble fortunes. Know thou this that men are as
- 3:00:22Speaker 4: the time is to be tender minded, does not become
- 3:00:27Speaker 4: a sword. Thy great employment will not bear question either
- 3:00:32Speaker 4: say thou doot or thrive by other means. I'll do it,
- 3:00:37Speaker 4: my Lord, about it, and right happy when thou hast
- 3:00:41Speaker 4: done mark, I say, instantly, and carry it so as
- 3:00:46Speaker 4: I have set it down.
- 3:00:48Speaker 9: I cannot draw a cart nor eat dry oats. If
- 3:00:51Speaker 9: it be man's work, I'll do it.
- 3:00:53Speaker 1: Exit, flourish, enter Albany, Goneril, Reagan and officers.
- 3:01:01Speaker 13: Sir, you have showed to day your valiant strain and
- 3:01:04Speaker 13: fortune led you well. You have the captives who are
- 3:01:07Speaker 13: the opposites of this day's strife. We do require them
- 3:01:11Speaker 13: of you, so to use them as we shall find
- 3:01:13Speaker 13: their merits, and our safety may equally determine.
- 3:01:17Speaker 4: Sir, I thought it fit to send the old and
- 3:01:21Speaker 4: miserable king to some retention and appointed guard, whose age
- 3:01:25Speaker 4: has charms in it, with title more to pluck the
- 3:01:28Speaker 4: common bosom on his side, and turn our impressed lances
- 3:01:32Speaker 4: in our eyes, which do command them with him. I
- 3:01:36Speaker 4: sent the Queen my reason all the same, and they
- 3:01:40Speaker 4: are ready to morrow, or at further space, to appear
- 3:01:44Speaker 4: where you shall hold your session. At this time we
- 3:01:48Speaker 4: sweat and bleed. The friend hath lost his friend, and
- 3:01:52Speaker 4: the best quarrels in the heat are cursed by those
- 3:01:56Speaker 4: that feel their sharpness. The question of Cordelia and her
- 3:02:01Speaker 4: father requires a fitter place.
- 3:02:05Speaker 13: Sir, by your patience, I hold you but a subject
- 3:02:08Speaker 13: of this war, not as a brother.
- 3:02:11Speaker 8: That's as we list to grace him. Methinks our pleasure
- 3:02:15Speaker 8: might have been demanded ere you had spoke so a
- 3:02:20Speaker 8: he led our powers for the commission of my place
- 3:02:23Speaker 8: in person, the which immediacy he may well stand up
- 3:02:27Speaker 8: and call itself your brother.
- 3:02:30Speaker 6: Not so hot in his own grace, he doth exalt
- 3:02:33Speaker 6: himself more than in your addition.
- 3:02:36Speaker 8: In my rights. By me invested, he can bears the best.
- 3:02:41Speaker 6: That were the most. If he should husband.
- 3:02:43Speaker 8: You jestures, do oft prove profits.
- 3:02:47Speaker 6: Halla, Halla, that I that told you so looked but
- 3:02:49Speaker 6: a squint.
- 3:02:51Speaker 8: Lady, I am not well. Else I should answer from
- 3:02:55Speaker 8: a full.
- 3:02:55Speaker 1: Flowing stomach to Edmund.
- 3:02:58Speaker 8: General, take thou my soldiers, prisoners, patrimony, dispose of them
- 3:03:04Speaker 8: of me. The walls are thine witness the world that
- 3:03:08Speaker 8: I create there, my lord Avda mean.
- 3:03:12Speaker 6: You to enjoy him.
- 3:03:14Speaker 13: The let alone lies not in your good will nor
- 3:03:17Speaker 13: in thine lord, half blooded fellow.
- 3:03:20Speaker 8: Yes to Edmund, let the drums, drike and prove my idle.
- 3:03:25Speaker 13: Thine stay yet here, reason edmund, I arrest thee on
- 3:03:31Speaker 13: capital treason, and in thine arrest this gilded serpent.
- 3:03:36Speaker 1: He points to Goneril.
- 3:03:38Speaker 13: For your claim, fair sister, I bar it in the
- 3:03:42Speaker 13: interest of my wife Tis. She is subcontracted to this lord,
- 3:03:47Speaker 13: and I her husband, contradict your bands. If you will marry,
- 3:03:52Speaker 13: make your loves to me. My lady is bespoke on interlude.
- 3:03:57Speaker 13: Thou art armed Gloucester. Let the trumpets if none appear
- 3:04:01Speaker 13: to prove upon thy person, thy heinous manifest and many treasons.
- 3:04:06Speaker 13: There is my pledge.
- 3:04:08Speaker 1: He throws down his glove.
- 3:04:10Speaker 13: I'll prove it on thy heart. Ere I taste bread.
- 3:04:13Speaker 13: Thou art in nothing less than I have here proclaimed thee.
- 3:04:16Speaker 8: Sick, oh sick.
- 3:04:19Speaker 6: If not, I'll ne'er trust medicine.
- 3:04:21Speaker 1: There's my exchange, throwing down his glove.
- 3:04:25Speaker 4: What in the world he is that names me traitor villain?
- 3:04:28Speaker 4: Like he lies? Call by thy trumpet, he that dares
- 3:04:33Speaker 4: approach on him on you who not, I will maintain
- 3:04:38Speaker 4: my truth and honor firmly.
- 3:04:40Speaker 13: A herald ho enter, a herald trust to thy single
- 3:04:45Speaker 13: virtue for thy soldiers all levied in my name have
- 3:04:49Speaker 13: in my name took their discharge.
- 3:04:52Speaker 8: My sickness grows upon me.
- 3:04:55Speaker 13: She is not well. Convey her to my tent.
- 3:04:57Speaker 1: Exit. Reagan supported a herald, ho a herald. A trumpet sounds.
- 3:05:04Speaker 26: If any man of quality or degree within the lists
- 3:05:08Speaker 26: of the army will maintain upon Edmund supposed, Earl of Gloucester,
- 3:05:14Speaker 26: that he is a manifold traitor, Let him appear by
- 3:05:18Speaker 26: the third sound of the trumpet. He is bold in
- 3:05:22Speaker 26: his defense.
- 3:05:24Speaker 1: First trumpet again, Second trumpet again, third trumpet, trumpet answers
- 3:05:33Speaker 1: within enter Edgar, armed a trumpet before him, Ask.
- 3:05:39Speaker 13: Him his purposes? Why he appears upon this call the trumpet?
- 3:05:44Speaker 12: What are you?
- 3:05:46Speaker 4: You name?
- 3:05:47Speaker 26: Your quality? And why you answer this present summons?
- 3:05:51Speaker 11: No, my name is lost by treason's tooth, bare norn
- 3:05:56Speaker 11: and canker bit. Yet, my noble the adversary, I come
- 3:06:01Speaker 11: to cope.
- 3:06:02Speaker 13: Which is that adversary?
- 3:06:04Speaker 11: What's he that speaks for Edmund, Earl of Gloucester himself?
- 3:06:09Speaker 4: What sayest thou to him?
- 3:06:10Speaker 11: Draw thy sword? That if my speech offend a noble heart,
- 3:06:15Speaker 11: thy arm may do thee justice here is mine? He
- 3:06:18Speaker 11: draws his sword, behold, it is the privilege of mine, honors,
- 3:06:22Speaker 11: my oath, and my profession. I protest Morga, thy strength, youth, place,
- 3:06:28Speaker 11: and eminence, despite thy victor's sword and fire, new fortune,
- 3:06:33Speaker 11: thy valor, and thy heart. Thou art a traitor, false
- 3:06:38Speaker 11: to thy gods, thy brother and thy father, consporant gainst
- 3:06:43Speaker 11: this high illustrious prince, and from the extremest upward of
- 3:06:47Speaker 11: thy head to the descent and dust beneath thy foot,
- 3:06:51Speaker 11: a most toad spotted traitor, Say thou no, this sword,
- 3:06:56Speaker 11: this arm, and my best spirits are bent to prove
- 3:06:59Speaker 11: upon thy heart. I speak thou liest in wisdom.
- 3:07:04Speaker 4: I should ask thy name. But since thy outside looks
- 3:07:08Speaker 4: so fair and warlike, and that thy tongue some say
- 3:07:12Speaker 4: of breeding breathes what safe and nicely, I might well delay.
- 3:07:17Speaker 4: By rule of knighthood I disdain and spurn back. Do
- 3:07:22Speaker 4: I toss those treasons to thy head with the hell
- 3:07:26Speaker 4: hated lie, or whelm thy heart, which for they yet
- 3:07:30Speaker 4: glance by and scarcely bruise. This sword of mine shall
- 3:07:35Speaker 4: give them instant way where they shall rest forever.
- 3:07:41Speaker 1: Trumpets speak alarums fights. Edmond falls to Edgar about to
- 3:07:48Speaker 1: kill Edmund, Save.
- 3:07:50Speaker 13: Him, Save him.
- 3:07:51Speaker 6: This is mere practice Gloucester. By the law of arms.
- 3:07:54Speaker 6: Thou wast not bound to answer an unknown opposite. Thou
- 3:07:57Speaker 6: art not vanquished, but cozened and beguile.
- 3:08:00Speaker 13: Shut your mouth, Dame, or with this paper I shall
- 3:08:03Speaker 13: stop it.
- 3:08:04Speaker 1: Hold sir to Goneril.
- 3:08:06Speaker 13: Thou worse than any name. Read thine own evil, no tearing, Lady.
- 3:08:11Speaker 13: I perceive you know it.
- 3:08:12Speaker 6: Say if I do, the laws are mine, not thine.
- 3:08:15Speaker 6: Who can arraign me for it?
- 3:08:17Speaker 13: Most monstrous? Knowst thou this paper?
- 3:08:20Speaker 6: Ask me not what I know?
- 3:08:22Speaker 1: Exit Goneril, Go after her.
- 3:08:24Speaker 13: She's desperate.
- 3:08:25Speaker 1: Govern her, Exit Officer.
- 3:08:27Speaker 4: What you have charged me with?
- 3:08:30Speaker 18: That?
- 3:08:31Speaker 4: Have I done? And more? Much more? The time will
- 3:08:36Speaker 4: bring it out tis past, and so am I. But
- 3:08:43Speaker 4: what art thou that hast this fortune on me? If
- 3:08:48Speaker 4: thou art noble, I do forgive.
- 3:08:52Speaker 11: Thee let's exchange charity. I am no less in blood
- 3:08:57Speaker 11: than thou Art Edmund. If more more thou hast wronged me.
- 3:09:02Speaker 11: My name is Edgar and thy father's son. The gods
- 3:09:06Speaker 11: are just, and of our pleasant vices make instruments to
- 3:09:09Speaker 11: plague us the dark and vicious place where thee god
- 3:09:13Speaker 11: cost him his eyes.
- 3:09:15Speaker 4: Thou hast spoken right? Tis true? The wheel is come
- 3:09:19Speaker 4: full circle.
- 3:09:21Speaker 13: I am here, methought thy very gait did prophecy a
- 3:09:25Speaker 13: royal nobleness. I must embrace thee. Let sorrow split my
- 3:09:29Speaker 13: heart if ever I did hate thee or thy father
- 3:09:32Speaker 13: worthy prince, I note, where have you hid yourself? How
- 3:09:37Speaker 13: have you known the miseries of your father.
- 3:09:39Speaker 11: By nursing them? My lord, list a brief tale, and
- 3:09:43Speaker 11: when tis told, how my heart would burst. The bloody
- 3:09:47Speaker 11: proclamation to escape that followed me so near, Oh, our
- 3:09:51Speaker 11: live sweetness, that with the pain of death, we'd hourly
- 3:09:56Speaker 11: die rather than die at once taught me to shift
- 3:09:59Speaker 11: into a madman's rags, to assume a semblance that very
- 3:10:03Speaker 11: dogs disdained. And in this habit that I my father,
- 3:10:06Speaker 11: with his bleeding rings their precious stones new lost, became
- 3:10:11Speaker 11: his guide, led him, begged for him, saved him from despair.
- 3:10:15Speaker 11: Never o fault revealed myself unto him until some half
- 3:10:20Speaker 11: hour passed. When I was armed, not sure, though hoping
- 3:10:25Speaker 11: of this good success, I asked his blessing, and from
- 3:10:28Speaker 11: first to last told him my pilgrimage. But his flawed
- 3:10:32Speaker 11: heart a lacked too weak the conflict to support to
- 3:10:35Speaker 11: two extremes of passion, joy and grief burst smilingly.
- 3:10:41Speaker 4: The speech of yours hath moved me, and shall perchance
- 3:10:46Speaker 4: too good. But speak you once you look as you
- 3:10:50Speaker 4: had something more to say.
- 3:10:52Speaker 13: If there be more more, woeful, hold it in, for
- 3:10:55Speaker 13: I am almost ready to dissolve.
- 3:10:57Speaker 11: Hearing of this, this would have seemed appear to such
- 3:11:00Speaker 11: as love not sorrow, But another to amplify too much
- 3:11:04Speaker 11: would make much more and top extremity. Whilst I was
- 3:11:08Speaker 11: big in clamor, came there a man, who, having seen
- 3:11:12Speaker 11: me in my worst estate, shunned my abhorred society. But
- 3:11:17Speaker 11: then finding who twas that so endured with his strong arms.
- 3:11:21Speaker 11: He fastened on my neck and bellowed out as he'd
- 3:11:24Speaker 11: burst Heaven threw him on. My father told the most
- 3:11:27Speaker 11: piteous tale of Leir and him that ever ear received, which,
- 3:11:30Speaker 11: in recounting his grief, grew puissant, and the strings of
- 3:11:35Speaker 11: life began to crack twice. Then the trumpet sounded, and
- 3:11:39Speaker 11: there I left him tranced. But who was this Kent, Sir?
- 3:11:45Speaker 11: The banished Kent, who in disguise followed his enemy king
- 3:11:48Speaker 11: and did him service improper for a slave.
- 3:11:51Speaker 1: Enter a gentleman with a bloody knife.
- 3:11:54Speaker 17: Help help, Oh help.
- 3:11:57Speaker 11: What kind of help?
- 3:11:58Speaker 13: Speak man?
- 3:11:59Speaker 11: What means that bloody knife tis hot?
- 3:12:02Speaker 17: It smokes? It came even from the heart of Oh
- 3:12:06Speaker 17: she's dead?
- 3:12:07Speaker 22: Who dead?
- 3:12:08Speaker 13: Speak man?
- 3:12:09Speaker 17: Your lady, sir, your lady and her sister by her
- 3:12:13Speaker 17: is poisoned. She hath confessed it.
- 3:12:15Speaker 4: I was contracted to them both. All three now marry
- 3:12:19Speaker 4: in an instant.
- 3:12:20Speaker 11: Here comes Kent, and to Kent.
- 3:12:23Speaker 13: Produce their bodies, be they alive or dead. This judgment
- 3:12:26Speaker 13: of the heaven that makes us tremble, touches us not
- 3:12:29Speaker 13: with pity.
- 3:12:30Speaker 2: Exit, gentlemen, I am come to bid my king and master,
- 3:12:35Speaker 2: I good night? Is he not here?
- 3:12:38Speaker 13: Great thing of us? Forgot? Speak Edmund? Where's the king?
- 3:12:42Speaker 13: And where's Cordelia?
- 3:12:44Speaker 1: Goneril's and Reagan's bodies are brought out black?
- 3:12:50Speaker 4: Why thus yet Edmund was beloved the one the other
- 3:12:55Speaker 4: poisoned for my sake, and after slew.
- 3:12:57Speaker 13: Herself even so cover their faith.
- 3:13:00Speaker 4: I pant for life. Some good I mean to do
- 3:13:05Speaker 4: despite of mine own nature quickly said, be brief in
- 3:13:08Speaker 4: it to the castle, for my writ is on the
- 3:13:11Speaker 4: life of Leir and on Cordelia. Nay, send in.
- 3:13:15Speaker 11: Time, run run o, run to who, my lord, who
- 3:13:20Speaker 11: has the office? Send thy token of reprieve well thought odd.
- 3:13:25Speaker 4: To an officer, take my sword, give it to the
- 3:13:28Speaker 4: captain Hastee for thy life.
- 3:13:30Speaker 1: Exit officer.
- 3:13:31Speaker 4: He hath commission from thy wife and me to hang
- 3:13:34Speaker 4: Cordelia in the prison, and to lay the blame upon
- 3:13:37Speaker 4: her own despair, that she forbid herself.
- 3:13:41Speaker 13: The gods defend her bear him.
- 3:13:43Speaker 1: Hence a while Edmund is borne off enter Lear with
- 3:13:48Speaker 1: Cordelia in his arms, followed by the officer and others.
- 3:13:53Speaker 27: How how, how, how oh you are men of stone,
- 3:14:00Speaker 27: and I your tongues and eyes, I'd use them so
- 3:14:02Speaker 27: that Heaven's vultur'd crack.
- 3:14:05Speaker 5: She's gone for ever. I know when one is dead
- 3:14:09Speaker 5: and when one lives. She is dead as earth. Lend
- 3:14:14Speaker 5: me a looking glass. If that her breath will mist
- 3:14:17Speaker 5: or stain the stone? Why he then she lives?
- 3:14:21Speaker 11: Is this the promised end or image of that horror?
- 3:14:26Speaker 7: Fall?
- 3:14:27Speaker 20: And cease?
- 3:14:28Speaker 5: This feather stirs? She lives? If it be so, it
- 3:14:31Speaker 5: is a chance which does redeem all sorrows that ever
- 3:14:34Speaker 5: I have felt.
- 3:14:36Speaker 2: Oh, my good master.
- 3:14:39Speaker 11: Prithee away tis noble, kent your friend.
- 3:14:42Speaker 5: The plague upon you, murderers, trait us all. I might
- 3:14:46Speaker 5: have saved her. Now she's gone for ever. Cordelia, Cordelia,
- 3:14:51Speaker 5: stay a little? Ah, what est thou sayest? Her voice
- 3:14:56Speaker 5: was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman?
- 3:15:01Speaker 5: I killed the slave that was a hanging thee did
- 3:15:04Speaker 5: I not, fellow? I have seen the day with my
- 3:15:08Speaker 5: good biting falshion that I would have made them skip.
- 3:15:12Speaker 5: I am old now, and these same crosses spoil me.
- 3:15:16Speaker 1: Who are you?
- 3:15:17Speaker 5: Mine? Eyes are not the best. I'll tell you straight.
- 3:15:21Speaker 2: If fortune brag of two she loved and hated one
- 3:15:26Speaker 2: of them, we behold.
- 3:15:28Speaker 5: This is a dull sight?
- 3:15:30Speaker 2: Are you not kent the same? Your servant kent? Where
- 3:15:35Speaker 2: is your servant chaos?
- 3:15:38Speaker 5: He's a good fellow. I can tell you that he'll strike,
- 3:15:41Speaker 5: and quickly too. He's dead and rotten.
- 3:15:46Speaker 2: No, my good lord, I am the very men.
- 3:15:51Speaker 5: I'll see that straight.
- 3:15:53Speaker 2: That from your first of difference and decay have followed
- 3:15:58Speaker 2: your sad step.

- 3:16:28Speaker 1: Enter a messenger.
