01:01;283:1['  ]| Enter Kent, Gloucester, and Edmond.
01:01;283:1[F  ]| I thought the King had more affected the
01:01;283:1[F  ]| Duke of Albany, then Cornwall.
01:01;283:1[G P]| It$6@1$ did alwayes seeme so$5@2$ to$4$ us$6@2$: But
01:01;283:1[G P]| now in$4$ the diuision of the Kingdome, it$6@1$ appeares
01:01;283:1[G P]| not which$6@1$ of the Dukes he valewes
01:01;283:1[G P]| most, for$3$ qualities are so$5@1$ weigh'd, that$3$ curiosity in$4$ neither,
01:01;283:1[G  ]| can make choise of eithers moity.
01:01;283:1[F  ]| Is not this your Son, my Lord?
01:01;283:1[G P]| His breeding Sir, hath been at my charge. I have
01:01;283:1[G P]| so$5@1$ often blush'd to$9$ acknowledge him, that$3$ now I am
01:01;283:1[G  ]| braz'd to$4$ it$6@2$.
01:01;283:1[F  ]| I cannot conceiue you.
01:01;283:1[G P]| Sir, this yong Fellowes mother could; wherevpon
01:01;283:1[G P]| she grew round womb'd, and had indeede (Sir) a
01:01;283:1[G P]| Son for$4$ her$2$ Cradle, ere she had a husband for$4$ her$2$ bed.
01:01;283:1[G  ]| Do you smell a fault?
01:01;283:1[F P]| I cannot wish the fault vndone, the issue of it$6@2$,
01:01;283:1[F  ]| being so$5@1$ proper.
01:01;283:1[G P]| But I have a Son, Sir, by$4$ order of Law, some
01:01;283:1[G P]| yeere elder then this; who$6@1$, yet is no$2$ deerer in$4$ my account,
01:01;283:1[G P]| though this Knaue came somthing sawcily to$4$ the
01:01;283:1[G P]| world before he was sent for$5$: yet was his Mother fayre,
01:01;283:1[G P]| there was good sport at his making, and the horson must
01:01;283:1[G P]| be acknowledged. Do you know this Noble Gentleman,
01:01;283:1[G  ]| Edmond?
01:01;283:1[I  ]| No$7$, my Lord.
01:01;283:1[G  ]| My Lord of Kent:
01:01;283:1[G  ]| Remember him heereafter, as my Honourable Friend.
01:01;283:1[I  ]| My seruices to$4$ your Lordship.
01:01;283:1[F  ]| I must loue you, and sue to$9$ know you better.
01:01;283:1[I  ]| Sir, I shall study deseruing.
01:01;283:1[G P]| He hath been out nine yeares, and away he shall
01:01;283:1[G  ]| againe. The King is comming.
01:01;283:1[' P]| Sennet. Enter King Lear, Cornwall, Albany, Gonerill, Regan,

01:01;283:1[A  ]| Conferring them on$4$ yonger strengths, while we$6@1$
01:01;283:1[A P]| Vnburthen'd crawle toward death. Our$6@1$ son of Cornwal,
01:01;283:1[A  ]| And you our$6@1$ no$2$ lesse louing Son of Albany,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| We$6@1$ have this houre a constant will$0$ to$9$ publish
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Our$6@1$ daughters seuerall Dowers, that$3$ future strife
01:01;283:2[A P]| May be preuented now. The Princes, France and Burgundy,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Great Riuals in$4$ our$6@1$ yongest daughters loue,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Long in$4$ our$6@1$ Court, have made their amorous soiourne,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| And here are to$9$ be answer'd. Tell me my daughters
01:01;283:2[A  ]| (Since now we$6@1$ will$1$ diuest us$6@1$ both of Rule,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Interest of Territory, Cares of State)
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Which$6@2$ of you shall we$6@1$ say doth loue us$6@1$ most,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| That$3$ we$6@1$,our largest bountie may extend
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Where Nature doth with merit challenge. Gonerill,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Our$6@1$ eldest borne, speake first.
01:01;283:2[O P]| Sir, I loue you more then word can weild the matter,
01:01;283:2[O  ]| Deerer then eye-sight, space, and libertie,
01:01;283:2[O  ]| Beyond what can be valewed, rich or rare,
01:01;283:2[O  ]| No$2$ lesse then life, with grace, health, beauty, honor:
01:01;283:2[O  ]| As much as Childe ere lou'd, or Father found.
01:01;283:2[O  ]| A loue that$6@1$ makes breath poore, and speech vnable,
01:01;283:2[O  ]| Beyond all manner of so$5@1$ much I loue you.
01:01;283:2[Q P]| What shall Cordelia speake? Loue, and be silent.

01:01;283:2[P  ]| And prize me at her$2$ worth. In$4$ my true heart,
01:01;283:2[P  ]| I finde she names my very deede of loue:
01:01;283:2[P  ]| Onely she comes too short, that$3$ I professe
01:01;283:2[P  ]| My*selfe an enemy to$4$ all other ioyes,
01:01;283:2[P  ]| Which$6@1$ the most precious square of sense professes,
01:01;283:2[P  ]| And finde I am alone felicitate
01:01;283:2[P  ]| In$4$ your deere Highnesse loue.
01:01;283:2[Q  ]| Then poore Cordelia,
01:01;283:2[Q  ]| And yet not so$5@2$, since I am sure my loue is
01:01;283:2[Q  ]| More ponderous then my tongue.
01:01;283:2[A  ]| To$4$ thee, and thine hereditarie euer,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Remaine this ample third of our$6@1$ faire Kingdome,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| No$2$ lesse in$4$ space, validitie, and pleasure
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Then that$6@2$ conferr'd on$4$ Gonerill. Now our$6@1$ Ioy,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Although our$6@1$ last and least; to$4$ whose yong loue,
01:01;283:2[A  ]| The Vines of France, and Milke of Burgundie,

01:01;283:2[A  ]| A third, more opilent then your Sisters? speake.
01:01;283:2[Q  ]| Nothing my Lord.
01:01;283:2[A  ]| Nothing?
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Nothing.
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Nothing will$1$ come of nothing, speake againe.
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Vnhappie that$6@1$ I am, I cannot heaue
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| My heart into my mouth: I loue your Maiesty
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| According to$4$ my bond, no$2$ more nor lesse.
01:01;284:1[A P]| How, how Cordelia? Mend your speech a little,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Least you may marre your Fortunes.
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Good my Lord,
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| You have begot me, bred me, lou'd me.
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| I returne those duties backe as are right fit,
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Obey you, Loue you, and most Honour you.
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Why have my Sisters Husbands, if they say
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| They loue you all? Happily when I shall wed,
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| That$6@1$ Lord, whose hand must take my plight, shall carry
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Halfe my loue with him, halfe my Care, and Dutie,
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Sure I shall neuer marry like my Sisters.
01:01;284:1[A  ]| But goes thy heart with this?
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| Aye my good Lord.
01:01;284:1[A  ]| So$5@1$ young, and so$5@1$ vntender?
01:01;284:1[Q  ]| So$5@1$ young my Lord, and true.
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Let it$6@1$ be so$5@2$, thy truth then be thy dowre:
01:01;284:1[A  ]| For$3$ by$4$ the sacred radience of the Sunne,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| The misteries of Heccat and the night:
01:01;284:1[A  ]| By$4$ all the operation of the Orbes,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| From whom we$6@1$ do exist and cease to$9$ be,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Here I disclaime all my Paternall care,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Propinquity and property of blood,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| And as a stranger to$4$ my heart and me,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Hold thee from this for*euer. The barbarous Scythian,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Or he that$6@1$ makes his generation messes
01:01;284:1[A  ]| To$9$ gorge his appetite, shall to$4$ my bosome
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Be as well neighbour'd, pittied, and releeu'd,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| As thou my sometime Daughter.
01:01;284:1[F  ]| Good my Liege.

01:01;284:1[A  ]| On$4$ her$2$ kind nursery. Hence and avoid my sight:
01:01;284:1[A  ]| So$3$ be my graue my peace, as here I giue
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Her$2$ Fathers heart from her$6$; call France, who$6@2$ stirres?
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Call Burgundy, Cornwall, and Albanie,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| With my two Daughters Dowres, digest the third,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Let pride, which$6@1$ she cals plainnesse, marry her$6$:
01:01;284:1[A  ]| I do inuest you ioyntly with my power,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Preheminence, and all the large effects
01:01;284:1[A P]| That$6@1$ troope with Maiesty. Our*selfe by$4$ Monthly course,

01:01;284:1[A  ]| The name, and all the addition to$4$ a King: the Sway,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Reuennew, Execution of the rest,
01:01;284:1[A  ]| Beloued Sonnes be yours, which$6@1$ to$9$ confirme,

01:01;284:1[F  ]| Royall Lear,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| Whom I have euer honor'd as my King,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| Lou'd as my Father, as my Master follow'd,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| As my great Patron thought on$5$ in$4$ my praiers.
01:01;284:1[A P]| The bow is bent and drawne, make from the shaft.
01:01;284:1[F  ]| Let it$6@2$ fall rather, though the forke inuade
01:01;284:1[F  ]| The region of my heart, be Kent vnmannerly,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| When Lear is mad, what wouldest thou do old man?
01:01;284:1[F  ]| Think'st thou that$3$ dutie shall have dread to$9$ speake,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| When power to$4$ flattery bowes?
01:01;284:1[F  ]| To$4$ plainnesse honour is bound,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| When Maiesty falls to$4$ folly, reserue thy state,
01:01;284:1[F  ]| And in$4$ thy best consideration checke
01:01;284:2[F  ]| This hideous rashnesse, answere my life, my iudgement:
01:01;284:2[F  ]| Thy yongest Daughter does not loue thee least,
01:01;284:2[F  ]| Nor are those empty hearted, whose low sounds
01:01;284:2[F  ]| Reuerbe no$2$ hollownesse.
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Kent, on$4$ thy life no$2$ more.

01:01;284:2[F  ]| Thy safety being motiue.
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Out of my sight.
01:01;284:2[F  ]| See better Lear, and let me still remaine
01:01;284:2[F  ]| The true blanke of thine eye.
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Now by$4$ Apollo,

01:01;284:2[F  ]| And your large speeches, may your deeds approue,
01:01;284:2[F  ]| That$3$ good effects may spring from words of loue:
01:01;284:2[F  ]| Thus Kent, O Princes, bids you all adew,
01:01;284:2[F  ]| He will$1$ shape his old course, in$4$ a Country new.  
01:01;284:2['  ]| Exit.
01:01;284:2['  ]| Flourish. Enter Gloster with France, and Burgundy,
01:01;284:2['  ]| Attendants.
01:01;284:2[Q  ]| Here is France and Burgundy, my Noble Lord.
01:01;284:2[A  ]| My Lord of Burgundie,

01:01;284:2[A  ]| Hath riuald for$4$ our$6@1$ Daughter; what in$4$ the least
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Will$1$ you require in$4$ present Dower with her$6$,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Or cease your quest of Loue?
01:01;284:2[C  ]| Most Royall Maiesty,
01:01;284:2[C  ]| I craue no$2$ more then hath your Highnesse offer'd,
01:01;284:2[C  ]| Nor will$1$ you tender lesse?
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Right Noble Burgundy,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| When she was deare to$4$ us$6@1$, we$6@1$ did hold her$6$ so$5@2$,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| But now her$2$ price is fallen: Sir, there she stands,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| If ought within that$6@2$ little seeming substance,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Or all of it$6@2$ with our$6@1$ displeasure piec'd,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| And nothing more may fitly like your Grace,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| She is there, and she is yours.
01:01;284:2[C  ]| I know no$2$ answer.
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Will$1$ you with those infirmities she owes,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Vnfriended, new adopted to$4$ our$6@1$ hate,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Dow'rd with our$6@1$ curse, and stranger'd with our$6@1$ oath,
01:01;284:2[A  ]| Take her$6$ or, leaue her$6$.
01:01;285:1[C  ]| Pardon me Royall Sir, election makes not up$5$ in$4$ such conditions.
01:01;285:1[A P]| Then leaue her$6$ sir, for$3$ by$4$ the powre that$6@1$ made me,
01:01;285:1[A  ]| I tell you all her$2$ wealth. For$4$ you great King,
01:01;285:1[A  ]| I would not from your loue make such a stray,
01:01;285:1[A  ]| To$9$ match you where I hate, therefore beseech you
01:01;285:1[A  ]| To$9$ auert your liking a more worthier way,
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Then on$4$ a wretch whom Nature is asham'd
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Almost to$9$ acknowledge hers.
01:01;285:1[B  ]| This is most strange,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| That$3$ she whom euen but now, was your obiect,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| The argument of your praise, balme of your age,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| The best, the deerest, should in$4$ this trice of time
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Commit a thing so$5@1$ monstrous, to$9$ dismantle
01:01;285:1[B  ]| So$5@1$ many folds of fauour: sure her$2$ offence
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Must be of such vnnaturall degree,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| That$6@1$ monsters it$6@2$: Or your fore-voucht affection
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Fall into taint, which$6@1$ to$9$ beleeue of her$6$
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Must be a faith that$6@1$ reason without miracle
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Should neuer plant in$4$ me.
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| I yet beseech your Maiesty.
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| If for$3$ I want that$6@2$ glib and oylie #Art,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| To$9$ speake and purpose not, since what I will$1$ intend,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| I will$1$ do it$6@2$ before I speake, that$3$ you make knowne
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| It$6@1$ is no$2$ vicious blot, murther, or foulenesse,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| No$2$ vnchaste action or dishonoured step
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| That$6@1$ hath depriu'd me of your Grace and fauour,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| But euen for$4$ want of that$6@2$, for$4$ which$6@1$ I am richer,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| A still soliciting eye, and such a tongue,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| That$6@1$ I am glad I have not, though not to$9$ have it$6@2$,
01:01;285:1[Q  ]| Hath lost me in$4$ your liking.
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Better thou had'st
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Not been borne, then not to$9$ have pleas'd me better.
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Is it$6@1$ but this? A tardinesse in$4$ nature,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Which$6@1$ often leaues the history vnspoke
01:01;285:1[B  ]| That$6@1$ it$6@1$ intends to$9$ do: my Lord of Burgundy,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| What say you to$4$ the Lady? Loue is not loue
01:01;285:1[B  ]| When it$6@1$ is mingled with regards, that$6@1$ stands
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Aloofe from the intire point, will$1$ you have her$6$?
01:01;285:1[B  ]| She is herselfe a Dowrie.
01:01;285:1[C  ]| Royall King,
01:01;285:1[C  ]| Giue but that$6@2$ portion which$6@1$ your*selfe propos'd,
01:01;285:1[C  ]| And here I take Cordelia by$4$ the hand,
01:01;285:1[C  ]| Dutchesse of Burgundie.
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Nothing, I have sworne, I am firme.
01:01;285:1[C  ]| I am sorry then you have so$5@2$ lost a Father,

01:01;285:1[Q  ]| Peace be with Burgundie,

01:01;285:1[B  ]| Most choise forsaken, and most lou'd despis'd,

01:01;285:1[B P]| Gods, Gods! It$6@1$ is strange, that$3$ from their cold'st neglect
01:01;285:1[B  ]| My Loue should kindle to$4$ enflam'd respect.
01:01;285:1[B P]| Thy dowrelesse Daughter King, throwne to$4$ my chance,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Is Queene of us$6@1$, of ours$6@1$, and our$6@1$ faire France:
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Not all the Dukes of watrish Burgundy,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Can buy this vnpriz'd precious Maid of me.
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Bid them farewell Cordelia, though vnkinde,
01:01;285:1[B  ]| Thou loosest here a better where to$9$ finde.
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Thou hast her$6$ France, let her$6$ be thine, for$3$ we$6@1$
01:01;285:1[A  ]| Have no$2$ such Daughter, nor shall euer see
01:01;285:1[A  ]| That$6@2$ face of hers againe, therfore be gone,

01:01;285:2[B  ]| Bid farwell to$4$ your Sisters.
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| The Iewels of our$6@2$ Father, with wash'd eyes
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| Cordelia leaues you, I know you what you are,
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| And like a Sister am most loth to$9$ call
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| Your faults as they are named. Loue well our$6@2$ Father:
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| To$4$ your professed bosomes I commit him,
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| But yet alas, stood I within his Grace,
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| I would prefer him to$4$ a better place,
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| So$3$ farewell to$4$ you both.
01:01;285:2[P  ]| Prescribe not us$6@2$ our$6@2$ dutie.
01:01;285:2[O  ]| Let your study
01:01;285:2[O  ]| Be to$9$ content your Lord, who$6@1$ hath receiu'd you
01:01;285:2[O  ]| At Fortunes almes, you have obedience scanted,
01:01;285:2[O  ]| And well are worth the want that$6@1$ you have wanted.
01:01;285:2[Q P]| Time shall vnfold what plighted cunning hides,
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| Who$6@1$ couers faults, at last with shame derides:
01:01;285:2[Q  ]| Well may you prosper.
01:01;285:2[B  ]| Come my faire Cordelia.  
01:01;285:2['  ]| Exit France and Cor.
01:01;285:2[O  ]| Sister, it$6@1$ is not little I have to$9$ say,
01:01;285:2[O  ]| Of what most neerely appertaines to$4$ us$6@2$ both,
01:01;285:2[O  ]| I thinke our$6@2$ Father will$1$ hence to*night.
01:01;285:2[P P]| That$6@2$ is most certaine, and with you: next moneth with us$6@2$.
01:01;285:2[O P]| You see how full of changes his age is, the obseruation
01:01;285:2[O P]| we$6@2$ have made of it$6@2$ hath been little; he alwaies
01:01;285:2[O P]| lou'd our$6@2$ Sister most, and with what poore iudgement he
01:01;285:2[O  ]| hath now cast her$6$ off, appeares too grossely.
01:01;285:2[P P]| It$6@1$ is the infirmity of his age, yet he hath euer but
01:01;285:2[P  ]| slenderly knowne himselfe.
01:01;285:2[O P]| The best and soundest of his time hath been but
01:01;285:2[O P]| rash, then must we$6@2$ looke from his age, to$9$ receiue not alone
01:01;285:2[O P]| the imperfections of long ingraffed condition, but
01:01;285:2[O P]| therewithall the vnruly way-wardnesse, that$6@1$ infirme and
01:01;285:2[O  ]| cholericke yeares bring with them.
01:01;285:2[P P]| Such vnconstant starts are we$6@2$ like to$9$ have from
01:01;285:2[P  ]| him, as this of Kents banishment.
01:01;285:2[O P]| There is further complement of leaue-taking betweene
01:01;285:2[O P]| France and him, pray you let us$6@2$ sit together, if our$6@2$
01:01;285:2[O P]| Father carry authority with such disposition as he beares,
01:01;285:2[O  ]| this last surrender of his will$1$ but offend us$6@2$.
01:01;285:2[P  ]| We$6@2$ shall further thinke of it$6@2$.
01:01;285:2[O P]| We$6@2$ must do something, and in$4$ the heate.  
01:01;285:2['  ]| Exeunt.
01:02;285:2['  ]| Enter Bastard.
01:02;285:2[I  ]| Thou Nature art my Goddesse, to$4$ thy Law

01:02;285:2[I  ]| When my Dimensions are as well compact,
01:02;285:2[I  ]| My minde as generous, and my shape as true
01:02;285:2[I  ]| As honest Madams issue? Why brand they us$6@2$
01:02;285:2[I  ]| With Base? With basenes Barstardie? Base, Base?
01:02;285:2[I  ]| Who$6@1$ in$4$ the lustie stealth of Nature, take
01:02;285:2[I  ]| More composition, and fierce qualitie,

01:02;285:2[I  ]| As to$4$ the legitimate: fine word: Legitimate.
01:02;286:1[I  ]| Well, my Legittimate, if this Letter speed,
01:02;286:1[I  ]| And my inuention thriue, Edmond the base
01:02;286:1[I  ]| Shall to$4$ the Legitimate: I grow, I prosper:
01:02;286:1[I  ]| Now Gods, stand up$5$ for$4$ Bastards.
01:02;286:1['  ]| Enter Gloucester.
01:02;286:1[G P]| Kent banish'd thus? and France in$4$ choller parted?
01:02;286:1[G  ]| And the King gone to*night? Prescrib'd his powre,
01:02;286:1[G  ]| Confin'd to$4$ exhibition? All this done
01:02;286:1[G  ]| upon$4$ the gad? Edmond, how now? What newes?
01:02;286:1[I  ]| So$3$ please your Lordship, none.
01:02;286:1[G P]| Why so$5@1$ earnestly seeke you to$9$ put up$5$ that$6@2$ Letter?
01:02;286:1[I  ]| I know no$2$ newes, my Lord.
01:02;286:1[G  ]| What Paper were you reading?
01:02;286:1[I  ]| Nothing my Lord.
01:02;286:1[G P]| No$7$? what needed then that$6@2$ terrible dispatch of
01:02;286:1[G P]| it$6@2$ into your Pocket? The quality of nothing, hath not
01:02;286:1[G P]| such neede to$9$ hide it*selfe. Let us$6@2$ see: come, if it$6@1$ be nothing,
01:02;286:1[G  ]| I shall not neede Spectacles.
01:02;286:1[I P]| I beseech you Sir, pardon me; it$6@1$ is a Letter
01:02;286:1[I P]| from my Brother, that$6@1$ I have not all ore-read; and for$4$ so$5@1$
01:02;286:1[I P]| much as I have perus'd, I finde it$6@2$ not fit for$4$ your ore-looking.
01:02;286:1['  ]| 
01:02;286:1[G  ]| Giue me the Letter, Sir.
01:02;286:1[I  ]| I shall offend, either to$9$ detaine, or giue it$6@2$:
01:02;286:1[I  ]| The Contents, as in$4$ part I vnderstand them,
01:02;286:1[I  ]| Are to$4$ blame.
01:02;286:1[G  ]| Let us$6@2$ see, let us$6@2$ see.
01:02;286:1[I P]| I hope for$4$ my Brothers iustification, he wrote
01:02;286:1[I  ]| this but as an essay, or taste of my Vertue.
01:02;286:1['  ]| Glou. reads.
01:02;286:1[I P]| This policie, and reuerence of Age, makes the
01:02;286:1[I P]| world bitter to$4$ the best of our$6@2$ times: keepes our$6@2$ Fortunes from
01:02;286:1[I P]| us$6@2$, till our$6@2$ oldnesse cannot rellish them. I begin to$9$ finde an idle
01:02;286:1[I P]| and fond bondage, in$4$ the oppression of aged tyranny, who$6@1$ swayes
01:02;286:1[I P]| not as it$6@1$ hath power, but as it$6@1$ is suffer'd. Come to$4$ me, that$3$ of
01:02;286:1[I P]| this I may speake more. If our$6@2$ Father would sleepe till I wak'd
01:02;286:1[I P]| him, you should enioy halfe his Reuennew for*euer, and liue the
01:02;286:1[I  ]| beloued of your Brother.  Edgar.
01:02;286:1[G P]| Hum? Conspiracy? Sleepe till I wake him, you should
01:02;286:1[G P]| enioy halfe his Reuennew: my Son Edgar, had he a
01:02;286:1[G P]| hand to$9$ write this? A heart and braine to$9$ breede it$6@2$ in$5$?
01:02;286:1[G  ]| When came you to$4$ this? Who$6@2$ brought it$6@2$?
01:02;286:1[I P]| It$6@1$ was not brought me, my Lord; there is the
01:02;286:1[I P]| cunning of it$6@2$. I found it$6@2$ throwne in$5$ at the Casement of
01:02;286:1[I  ]| my Closset.
01:02;286:1[G  ]| You know the character to$9$ be your Brothers?
01:02;286:1[I P]| If the matter were good my Lord, I durst swear
01:02;286:1[I P]| it$6@2$ were his: but in$4$ respect of that$6@2$, I would faine thinke it$6@1$
01:02;286:1[I  ]| were not.
01:02;286:1[G  ]| It$6@1$ is his.
01:02;286:1[I P]| It$6@1$ is his hand, my Lord: but I hope his heart is
01:02;286:1[I  ]| not in$4$ the Contents.
01:02;286:1[G P]| Has he neuer before sounded you in$4$ this busines?
01:02;286:1[I P]| Neuer my Lord. But I have heard him oft maintaine
01:02;286:1[I P]| it$6@2$ to$9$ be fit, that$3$ Sonnes at perfect age, and Fathers
01:02;286:1[I P]| declin'd, the Father should be as Ward to$4$ the Son, and
01:02;286:1[I  ]| the Son manage his Reuennew.
01:02;286:1[G P]| O Villain, villain: his very opinion in$4$ the Letter.
01:02;286:1[G P]| Abhorred Villaine, vnnaturall, detested, brutish
01:02;286:1[G P]| Villaine; worse then brutish: Go sirrah, seeke him: I will$1$
01:02;286:1[G  ]| apprehend him. Abhominable Villaine, where is he?
01:02;286:1[I P]| I do not well know my L. If it$6@1$ shall please you to$9$
01:02;286:1[I P]| suspend your indignation against my Brother, til you can
01:02;286:1[I P]| deriue from him better testimony of his intent, you should
01:02;286:1[I P]| run a certaine course: where, if you violently proceed against
01:02;286:1[I P]| him, mistaking his purpose, it$6@1$ would make a great
01:02;286:1[I P]| gap in$4$ your owne Honor, and shake in$4$ peeces, the heart of
01:02;286:2[I P]| his obedience. I dare pawne downe my life for$4$ him, that$3$
01:02;286:2[I P]| he hath writ this to$9$ feele my affection to$4$ your Honor, and
01:02;286:2[I  ]| to$4$ no$2$ other pretence of danger.
01:02;286:2[G  ]| Thinke you so$5@2$?
01:02;286:2[I P]| If your Honor iudge it$6@2$ meete, I will$1$ place you
01:02;286:2[I P]| where you shall heare us$6@2$ conferre of this, and by$4$ an Auricular
01:02;286:2[I P]| assurance have your satisfaction, and that$6@1$ without
01:02;286:2[I  ]| any further delay, then this very Euening.
01:02;286:2[G P]| He cannot be such a Monster. Edmond seeke
01:02;286:2[G P]| him out: winde me into him, I pray you: frame the Businesse
01:02;286:2[G P]| after your owne wisedome. I would vnstate my*selfe,
01:02;286:2[G  ]| to$9$ be in$4$ a due resolution.
01:02;286:2[I P]| I will$1$ seeke him Sir, presently: conuey the businesse
01:02;286:2[I  ]| as I shall find meanes, and acquaint you withall.
01:02;286:2[G P]| These late Eclipses in$4$ the Sun and Moone portend
01:02;286:2[G P]| no$2$ good to$4$ us$6@2$: though the wisedome of Nature can
01:02;286:2[G P]| reason it$6@2$ thus, and thus, yet Nature finds it*selfe scourg'd
01:02;286:2[G P]| by$4$ the sequent effects. Loue cooles, friendship falls off,
01:02;286:2[G P]| Brothers diuide. In$4$ Cities, mutinies; in$4$ Countries, discord;
01:02;286:2[G P]| in$4$ Pallaces, Treason; and the Bond crack'd, 'twixt
01:02;286:2[G P]| Son and Father. This villaine of mine comes vnder the
01:02;286:2[G P]| prediction; there is Son against Father, the King fals from
01:02;286:2[G P]| byas of Nature, there is Father against Childe. We$6@2$ have
01:02;286:2[G P]| seene the best of our$6@2$ time. Machinations, hollownesse,
01:02;286:2[G P]| treacherie, and all ruinous disorders follow us$6@2$ disquietly
01:02;286:2[G P]| to$4$ our$6@2$ Graues. Find out this Villain, Edmond, it$6@1$ shall lose
01:02;286:2[G P]| thee nothing, do it$6@2$ carefully: and the Noble and true-harted
01:02;286:2[G P]| Kent banish'd; his offence, honesty. It$6@1$ is strange.  
01:02;286:2['  ]| Exit
01:02;286:2[I P]| This is the excellent foppery of the world, that$6@1$
01:02;286:2[I P]| when we$6@2$ are sicke in$4$ fortune, often the surfets of our$6@2$ own
01:02;286:2[I P]| behauiour, we$6@2$ make guilty of our$6@2$ disasters, the Sun, the
01:02;286:2[I P]| Moone, and Starres, as if we$6@2$ were villaines on$4$ necessitie,
01:02;286:2[I P]| Fooles by$4$ heauenly compulsion, Knaues, Theeues, and
01:02;286:2[I P]| Treachers by$4$ Sphericall predominance. Drunkards, Lyars,
01:02;286:2[I P]| and Adulterers by$4$ an inforc'd obedience of Planatary
01:02;286:2[I P]| influence; and all that$6@1$ we$6@2$ are euill in$5$, by$4$ a diuine thrusting
01:02;286:2[I P]| on$5$. An admirable euasion of Whore-master-man,
01:02;286:2[I P]| to$9$ lay his Goatish disposition on$4$ the charge of a Starre,
01:02;286:2[I P]| My father compounded with my mother vnder the Dragons
01:02;286:2[I P]| taile, and my Natiuity was vnder Vrsa Maior, so$3$
01:02;286:2[I P]| that$3$ it$6@1$ followes, I am rough and Leacherous. I should
01:02;286:2[I P]| have been that$6@2$ I am, had the maidenlest Starre in$4$ the Firmament
01:02;286:2[I  ]| twinkled on$4$ my bastardizing.
01:02;286:2['  ]| Enter Edgar.
01:02;286:2[I P]| Pat: he comes like the Catastrophe of the old Comedie:
01:02;286:2[I P]| my Cue is villanous Melancholly, with a sighe like Tom of Bedlam.
01:02;286:2[I P]| --- O these Eclipses do portend these diuisions.
01:02;286:2[I  ]| Fa, Sol, #La, #Me.
01:02;286:2[H P]| How now Brother Edmond, what serious contemplation
01:02;286:2[H  ]| are you in$5$?
01:02;286:2[I P]| I am thinking Brother of a prediction I read this
01:02;286:2[I  ]| other day, what should follow these Eclipses.
01:02;286:2[H  ]| Do you busie your*selfe with that$6@2$?
01:02;286:2[I P]| I promise you, the effects he writes of, succeede
01:02;286:2[I  ]| vnhappily.
01:02;286:2[I  ]| When saw you my Father last?
01:02;286:2[H  ]| The night gone by$5$.
01:02;286:2[I  ]| Spake you with him?
01:02;286:2[H  ]| Aye, two houres together.
01:02;286:2[I P]| Parted you in$4$ good termes? Found you no$2$ displeasure
01:02;286:2[I  ]| in$4$ him, by$4$ word, nor countenance?
01:02;286:2[H  ]| None at all,
01:02;286:2[I P]| Bethink your*selfe wherein you may have offended
01:02;286:2[I P]| him: and at my entreaty forbeare his presence, vntill
01:02;286:2[I P]| some little time hath qualified the heat of his displeasure,
01:02;286:2[I P]| which$6@1$ at this instant so$5@1$ rageth in$4$ him, that$3$ with the mischiefe

01:04;287:2[W  ]| would not.
01:04;287:2[A  ]| He would not?
01:04;287:2[W P]| My Lord, I know not what the matter is,
01:04;287:2[W P]| but to$4$ my iudgement your Highnesse is not entertain'd
01:04;287:2[W P]| with that$6@2$ Ceremonious affection as you were wont,

01:04;287:2[A P]| Thou but remembrest me of mine owne Conception,
01:04;287:2[A P]| I have perceiued a most faint neglect of late,
01:04;287:2[A P]| which$6@1$ I have rather blamed as mine owne iealous curiositie,
01:04;287:2[A P]| then as a very pretence and purpose of vnkindnesse;
01:04;287:2[A P]| I will$1$ looke further into it$6@2$: but where is my Foole? I
01:04;287:2[A  ]| have not seene him this two daies.
01:04;287:2[W P]| Since my young Ladies going into France
01:04;288:1[W  ]| Sir, the Foole hath much pined away.
01:04;288:1[A P]| No$2$ more of that$6@2$, I have noted it$6@2$ well, go you

01:04;288:1[W  ]| I beseech your pardon.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Do you bandy lookes with me, you Rascall?
01:04;288:1[W  ]| I will$1$ not be strucken my Lord.
01:04;288:1[F  ]| Nor tript neither, you base Foot-ball plaier.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| I thanke thee fellow.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Thou seru'st me, and I will$1$ loue thee.

01:04;288:1[A  ]| Why my Boy?
01:04;288:1[N P]| Why? for$4$ taking ones part that$6@1$ is out of fauour,
01:04;288:1[N P]| nay, if thou canst not smile as the wind sits, thou wilt catch
01:04;288:1[N P]| colde shortly, there take my Coxcombe; why this fellow
01:04;288:1[N P]| has banish'd two of his Daughters, and did the third a
01:04;288:1[N P]| blessing against his will$0$, if thou follow him, thou must
01:04;288:1[N P]| needs weare my Coxcombe. How now Nunckle? would
01:04;288:1[N  ]| I had two Coxcombes and two Daughters.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Why my Boy?
01:04;288:1[N P]| If I gaue them all my liuing, I would keepe my Coxcombes
01:04;288:1[N P]| my*selfe, there is mine, beg another of thy
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Daughters.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Take heed Sirrah, the whip.
01:04;288:1[N P]| Truth is a dog must to$4$ kennell, he must be
01:04;288:1[N P]| whipt out, when the Lady Brach may stand by$4$ the fire
01:04;288:1[N  ]| and stinke.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| A pestilent gall to$4$ me.
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Sirha, I will$1$ teach thee a speech.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Do.
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Marke it$6@2$ Nuncle;
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Have more then thou showest,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Speake lesse then thou knowest,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Lend lesse then thou owest,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Ride more then thou goest,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Learne more then thou trowest,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Set lesse then thou throwest;
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Leaue thy drinke and thy whore,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| And keepe in$5$ a*dore,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| And thou shalt have more,
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Then two tens to$4$ a score.
01:04;288:1[F  ]| This is nothing Foole.
01:04;288:1[N P]| Then it$6@1$ is like the breath of an vnfeed Lawyer,
01:04;288:1[N P]| you gaue me nothing for$4$ it$6@2$, can you make no$2$ vse of nothing
01:04;288:1[N  ]| Nuncle?
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Why no$7$ Boy,
01:04;288:1[A  ]| Nothing can be made out of nothing.
01:04;288:1[N P]| Prythee tell him, so$5@1$ much the rent of his land
01:04;288:1[N  ]| comes to$5$, he will$1$ not beleeue a Foole.
01:04;288:1[A  ]| A bitter Foole.
01:04;288:1[N P]| Do'st thou know the difference my Boy, betweene
01:04;288:1[N  ]| a bitter Foole, and a sweet one.
01:04;288:2[A  ]| No$7$ Lad, teach me.
01:04;288:2[N P]| Nunckle, giue me an egge, and I will$1$ giue thee
01:04;288:2[N  ]| two Crownes.
01:04;288:2[A  ]| What two Crownes shall they be?
01:04;288:2[N P]| Why after I have cut the egge in$4$ the middle and
01:04;288:2[N P]| eate up$5$ the meate, the two Crownes of the egge: when
01:04;288:2[N P]| thou clouest thy Crownes in$4$ the middle, and gau'st away
01:04;288:2[N P]| both parts, thou boar'st thine Asse on$4$ thy backe o're the
01:04;288:2[N P]| durt, thou hadst little wit in$4$ thy bald crowne, when thou
01:04;288:2[N P]| gau'st thy golden one away; if I speake like my*selfe in$4$
01:04;288:2[N  ]| this, let him be whipt that$6@1$ first findes it$6@2$ so$5@2$.
01:04;288:2[N  ]| Fooles had nere lesse grace in$4$ a yeere,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| For$3$ wisemen are growne foppish,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| And know not how their wits to$9$ weare,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| Their manners are so$5@1$ apish.
01:04;288:2[A P]| When were you wont to$9$ be so$5@1$ full of Songs sirrah?
01:04;288:2[N P]| I have vsed it$6@2$ Nunckle, ere since thou mad'st
01:04;288:2[N P]| thy Daughters thy Mothers, for$3$ when thou gau'st them
01:04;288:2[N P]| the rod, and put'st downe thine owne breeches, then they
01:04;288:2[N  ]| For$4$ sodaine ioy did weepe,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| And I for$4$ sorrow sung,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| That$3$ such a King should play bo-peepe,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| And go the Foole among.
01:04;288:2[N P]| Pry'thy Nunckle keepe a Schoolemaster that$6@1$ can teach
01:04;288:2[N  ]| thy Foole to$9$ lie, I would faine learne to$9$ lie.
01:04;288:2[A  ]| If you lie sirrah, we$6@1$ will$1$ have you whipt.
01:04;288:2[N P]| I maruell what kin thou and thy daughters are,
01:04;288:2[N P]| they will$1$ have me whipt for$4$ speaking true: thou wilt have me
01:04;288:2[N P]| whipt for$4$ lying, and sometimes I am whipt for$4$ holding
01:04;288:2[N P]| my peace. I had rather be any kind of thing then a foole,
01:04;288:2[N P]| and yet I would not be thee Nunckle, thou hast pared thy
01:04;288:2[N P]| wit of both sides, and left nothing in$4$ the middle; here is
01:04;288:2[N  ]| comes one of the parings.
01:04;288:2['  ]| Enter Gonerill.
01:04;288:2[A P]| How now Daughter? what makes that$6@2$ Frontlet
01:04;288:2[A  ]| on$5$? You are too much of late in$4$ the frowne.
01:04;288:2[N P]| Thou wast a pretty fellow when thou hadst no$2$
01:04;288:2[N P]| need to$9$ care for$4$ her$2$ frowning, now thou art an #O without
01:04;288:2[N P]| a figure, I am better then thou art now, I am a Foole,
01:04;288:2[N P]| thou art nothing. Yes forsooth I will$1$ hold my tongue, so$5@2$
01:04;288:2[N  ]| your face bids me, though  you say nothing.
01:04;288:2[N  ]| Mum, mum, he that$6@1$ keepes nor crust, nor crum,
01:04;288:2[N  ]| Weary of all, shall want some. That$6@2$ is a sheal'd Pescod.
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Not only Sir this, your all-lycenc'd Foole,
01:04;288:2[O  ]| But other of your insolent retinue
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Do hourely Carpe and Quarrell, breaking forth
01:04;288:2[O  ]| In$4$ ranke, and (not to$9$ be endur'd) riots Sir.
01:04;288:2[O  ]| I had thought by$4$ making this well knowne vnto you,

01:04;288:2[O  ]| By$4$ what your*selfe too late have spoke and done,
01:04;288:2[O  ]| That$3$ you protect this course, and put it$6@2$ on$5$
01:04;288:2[O  ]| By$4$ your allowance, which$6@1$ if you should, the fault
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Would not scape censure, nor the redresses sleepe,
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Which$6@1$ in$4$ the tender of a wholesome weale,
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Mighty in$4$ their working do you that$6@2$ offence,
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Which$6@1$ else were shame, that$6@1$ then necessitie
01:04;288:2[O  ]| Will$1$ call discreet proceeding.
01:04;288:2[N P]| For$3$ you know Nunckle, the Hedge-Sparrow
01:04;288:2[N P]| fed the Cuckoo so$5@1$ long, that$3$ it$6@1$ had its head bit off by$4$ its
01:04;288:2[N P]| young, so$5@2$ out went the Candle, and we$6@2$ were left darkling.
01:04;288:2['  ]| 
01:04;288:2[A  ]| Are you our$6@1$ Daughter?
01:04;288:2[O P]| I would you would make vse of your good wisedome
01:04;288:2[O  ]| (Whereof I know you are fraught), and put away
01:04;288:2[O  ]| These dispositions, which$6@1$ of late transport you
01:04;288:2[O  ]| From what you rightly are.
01:04;289:1[N P]| May not an Asse know, when the Cart drawes
01:04;289:1[N  ]| the Horse?
01:04;289:1[N  ]| Whoop Iugge I loue thee.

01:04;289:1[A  ]| Either his Notion weakens, his Discernings

01:04;289:1[O  ]| This admiration Sir, is much of the sauour

02:01;291:1[I  ]| When I disswaded him from his intent,
02:01;291:1[I  ]| And found him pight to$9$ do it$6@2$, with curst speech
02:01;291:1[I  ]| I threaten'd to$9$ discouer him; he replied,

02:02;292:1[G  ]| How fell you out, say that$6@2$?
02:02;292:1[F  ]| No$2$ contraries hold more antipathy,
02:02;292:1[F  ]| Then I, and such a knaue.
02:02;292:1[D  ]| Why do'st thou call him Knaue?
02:02;292:1[D  ]| What is his fault?
02:02;292:1[F  ]| His countenance likes me not.
02:02;292:1[D P]| No$2$ more perchance does mine, nor his, nor hers.
02:02;292:1[F  ]| Sir, it$6@1$ is my occupation to$9$ be plaine,

02:02;292:2[F  ]| Before me, at this instant.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| This is some Fellow,
02:02;292:2[D  ]| Who$6@1$ hauing been prais'd for$4$ bluntnesse, doth affect
02:02;292:2[D  ]| A saucy roughnes, and constraines the garb
02:02;292:2[D  ]| Quite from his Nature. He cannot flatter he,
02:02;292:2[D  ]| An honest mind and plaine, he must speake truth,
02:02;292:2[D  ]| If they will$1$ take it$6@2$ so$5@2$, if not, he is plaine.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| These kind of Knaues I know, which$6@1$ in$4$ this plainnesse
02:02;292:2[D  ]| Harbour more craft, and more corrupter ends,
02:02;292:2[D  ]| Then twenty silly-ducking obseruants,
02:02;292:2[D  ]| That$6@1$ stretch their duties nicely.
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Sir, in$4$ good faith, in$4$ sincere verity,
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Vnder the allowance of your great aspect,
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Whose influence like the wreath of radient fire
02:02;292:2[F  ]| On$4$ flickring Phoebus front.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| What mean'st by$4$ this?
02:02;292:2[F P]| To$9$ go out of my dialect, which$6@1$ you discommend
02:02;292:2[F P]| so$5@1$ much; I know Sir, I am no$2$ flatterer, he that$6@1$ beguild
02:02;292:2[F P]| you in$4$ a plaine accent, was a plaine Knaue, which$6@1$
02:02;292:2[F P]| for$4$ my part I will$1$ not be, though I should win your
02:02;292:2[F  ]| displeasure to$9$ entreat me to$4$ it$6@2$.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| What was the offence you gaue him?
02:02;292:2[K  ]| I neuer gaue him any:
02:02;292:2[K  ]| It$6@1$ pleas'd the King his Master very late
02:02;292:2[K  ]| To$9$ strike at me upon$4$ his misconstruction,
02:02;292:2[K  ]| When he compact, and flattering his displeasure
02:02;292:2[K  ]| Tript me behind: being downe, insulted, rail'd,
02:02;292:2[K  ]| And put upon$4$ him such a deale of Man,
02:02;292:2[K  ]| That$6@1$ worthied him, got praises of the King,
02:02;292:2[K  ]| For$4$ him attempting, who$6@1$ was selfe-subdued,
02:02;292:2[K  ]| And in$4$ the fleshment of this dead exploit,
02:02;292:2[K  ]| Drew on$4$ me here againe.
02:02;292:2[F  ]| None of these Rogues, and Cowards
02:02;292:2[F  ]| But Aiax is their Foole.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| Fetch forth the Stocks?
02:02;292:2[D  ]| You stubborne ancient Knaue, you reuerent Bragart,
02:02;292:2[D  ]| We$6@2$ will$1$ teach you.
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Sir, I am too old to$9$ learne:
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Call not your Stocks for$4$ me, I serue the King.
02:02;292:2[F  ]| On$4$ whose imployment I was sent to$4$ you,
02:02;292:2[F  ]| You shall do small respects, show too bold malice
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Against the Grace, and Person of my Master,
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Stocking his Messenger.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| Fetch forth the Stocks;

02:02;292:2[P P]| Till noone? till night my Lord, and all night too.
02:02;292:2[F  ]| Why Madam, if I were your Fathers dog,

02:02;292:2[G  ]| Let me beseech your Grace, not to$9$ do so$5@2$,
02:02;292:2[G  ]| The King his Master, needs must take it$6@2$ #ill
02:02;292:2[G  ]| That$3$ he so$5@1$ slightly valued in$4$ his Messenger,
02:02;292:2[G  ]| Should have him thus restrained.
02:02;292:2[D  ]| I will$1$ answere that$6@2$.
02:02;292:2[P  ]| My Sister may recieue it$6@2$ much more worsse,

02:02;293:1[F  ]| Giue you good morrow.
02:02;293:1[G  ]| The Duke is to$4$ blame in$4$ this,

02:02;293:1[F  ]| This shamefull lodging. Fortune goodnight,

02:02;293:1['  ]| Enter Edgar.
02:02;293:1[H  ]| I heard my*selfe proclaim'd,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| And by$4$ the happy hollow of a Tree,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Escap'd the hunt. No$2$ Port is free, no$2$ place
02:02;293:1[H  ]| That$6@1$ guard, and most vnusall vigilance
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Does not attend my taking. Whiles I may scape
02:02;293:1[H  ]| I will$1$ preserue myselfe: and am bethought
02:02;293:1[H  ]| To$9$ take the basest, and most poorest shape
02:02;293:1[H  ]| That$6@1$ euer penury in$4$ contempt of man,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Brought neere to$4$ beast; my face I will$1$ grime with filth,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Blanket my loines, else all my haires in$4$ knots,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| And with presented nakednesse  out-face
02:02;293:1[H  ]| The Windes, and persecutions of the skie;
02:02;293:1[H  ]| The Country giues me proofe, and president
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Of Bedlam beggers, who$6@1$ with roaring voices,

02:02;293:1[H  ]| Pins, Wodden-prickes, Nayles, Sprigs of Rosemarie:
02:02;293:1[H  ]| And with this horrible obiect, from low Farmes,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Poore pelting Villages, Sheeps-Coates, and Milles,
02:02;293:1[H P]| Sometimes with Lunaticke bans, sometime with Praiers
02:02;293:1[H  ]| Inforce their charitie: poore Turlygod poore Tom,
02:02;293:1[H  ]| That$6@2$ is something yet: Edgar I nothing am.  
02:02;293:1['  ]| Exit.
02:02;293:1['  ]| Enter Lear, Foole, and Gentleman.
02:02;293:1[A P]| It$6@1$ is strange that$3$ they should so$5@2$ depart from home,
02:02;293:1[A  ]| And not send backe my Messengers.
02:02;293:1[W  ]| As I learn'd,
02:02;293:1[W  ]| The night before, there was no$2$ purpose in$4$ them
02:02;293:1[W  ]| Of this remoue.
02:02;293:1[F  ]| Haile to$4$ thee Noble Master.
02:02;293:1[A  ]| Ha? Mak'st thou this shame thy pastime?
02:02;293:1[F  ]| No$7$ my Lord.
02:02;293:1[N P]| Hah, ha, he weares Cruell Garters Horses are
02:02;293:1[N P]| tide by$4$ the heads, Dogges and Beares by$4$ the necke,
02:02;293:1[N P]| Monkies by$4$ the loynes, and Men by$4$ the legs: when a man
02:02;293:1[N P]| ouerlustie at legs, then he weares wodden nether-stocks.
02:02;293:1[A  ]| What is he,
02:02;293:1[A  ]| That$6@1$ hath so$5@1$ much thy place mistooke
02:02;293:1[A  ]| To$9$ set thee here?
02:02;293:1[F  ]| It$6@1$ is both he and she,
02:02;293:1[F  ]| Your Son and Daughter.
02:02;293:1[A  ]| No$7$.
02:02;293:1[F  ]| Yes.
02:02;293:1[A  ]| No$7$ I say.
02:02;293:1[F  ]| I say yea.
02:02;293:1[A  ]| By$4$ Iupiter I sweare no$7$.
02:02;293:2[F  ]| By$4$ Iuno, I sweare aye.
02:02;293:2[A  ]| They durst not do it$6@2$:
02:02;293:2[A P]| They could not, would not do it$6@2$: it$6@1$ is worse then murther,
02:02;293:2[A  ]| To$9$ do upon$4$ respect such violent outrage:
02:02;293:2[A  ]| Resolue me with all modest haste, which$6@1$ way
02:02;293:2[A  ]| Thou might'st deserue, or they impose this vsage,
02:02;293:2[A  ]| Comming from us$6@1$.
02:02;293:2[F  ]| My Lord, when at their home
02:02;293:2[F  ]| I did commend your Highnesse Letters to$4$ them,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Ere I was risen from the place, that$6@1$ shewed
02:02;293:2[F  ]| My dutie kneeling, came there a reeking Poste,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Stew'd in$4$ his haste, halfe breathlesse, painting forth
02:02;293:2[F  ]| From Gonerill his Mistris, salutations;
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Deliuer'd Letters spight of intermission,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Which$6@1$ presently they read; on$4$ those contents
02:02;293:2[F  ]| They summon'd up$5$ their meiney, straight tooke Horse,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Commanded me to$9$ follow, and attend
02:02;293:2[F  ]| The leisure of their answer, gaue me cold lookes,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| And meeting here the other Messenger,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Whose welcome I perceiu'd had poison'd mine,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Being the very fellow which$6@1$ of late
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Displaid so$5@1$ sawcily against your Highnesse,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Hauing more man then wit about me, drew;
02:02;293:2[F  ]| He rais'd the house, with loud and coward cries,
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Your Son and Daughter found this trespasse worth
02:02;293:2[F  ]| The shame which$6@1$ here it$6@1$ suffers.
02:02;293:2[N P]| Winter is not gone yet, if the wil'd Geese fly that$6@2$ way,
02:02;293:2[N P]| Fathers that$6@1$ weare rags, do make their Children blind,
02:02;293:2[N P]| But Fathers that$6@1$ beare bags, shall see their children kind.
02:02;293:2[N P]| Fortune that$6@2$ arrant whore, nere turns the key to$4$ the poore.
02:02;293:2[N P]| But for$4$ all this thou shalt have as many Dolors for$4$ thy
02:02;293:2[N  ]| Daughters, as thou canst tell in$4$ a yeare.
02:02;293:2[A P]| O how this Mother swels up$5$ toward my heart!
02:02;293:2[A  ]| Historica passio, downe thou climing sorrow,
02:02;293:2[A  ]| Thy Element is below where is this Daughter?
02:02;293:2[F  ]| With the Earle Sir, here within.
02:02;293:2[A  ]| Follow me not, stay here.  
02:02;293:2['  ]| Exit.
02:02;293:2[W  ]| Made you no$2$ more offence,
02:02;293:2[W  ]| But what you speake of?
02:02;293:2[F  ]| None:
02:02;293:2[F P]| How chance  the King comes with so$5@1$ small a number?
02:02;293:2[N P]| If thou hadst been set in$4$ the Stockes for$4$ that$6@2$
02:02;293:2[N  ]| question, thou wouldst well deseru'd it$6@2$.
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Why Foole?
02:02;293:2[N P]| We$6@2$ will$1$ set thee to$4$ schoole to$4$ an Ant, to$9$ teach
02:02;293:2[N P]| thee there is no$2$ labouring in$4$ the winter. All that$6@1$ follow their
02:02;293:2[N P]| noses, are led by$4$ their eyes, but blinde men, and there is
02:02;293:2[N P]| not a nose among twenty, but can smell him that$6@1$ is stinking;
02:02;293:2[N P]| let go thy hold, when a great wheele runs downe a
02:02;293:2[N P]| hill, least it$6@1$ breake thy necke with following. But the
02:02;293:2[N P]| great one that$6@1$ goes upward, let him draw thee after:
02:02;293:2[N P]| when a wiseman giues thee better counsell giue me mine
02:02;293:2[N P]| againe, I would have none but knaues follow it$6@2$, since a
02:02;293:2[N  ]| Foole giues it$6@2$.
02:02;293:2[N  ]| That$6@2$ Sir, which$6@1$ serues and seekes for$4$ gaine,
02:02;293:2[N  ]| And followes but for$4$ forme;
02:02;293:2[N  ]| Will$1$ packe, when it$6@1$ begins to$9$ raine,
02:02;293:2[N  ]| And leaue thee in$4$ the storme,
02:02;293:2[N  ]| But I will$1$ tarry, the Foole will$1$ stay,
02:02;293:2[N  ]| And let the wiseman flie:
02:02;293:2[N  ]| The knaue turnes Foole that$6@1$ runnes away,
02:02;293:2[N  ]| The Foole no$2$ knaue perdie.
02:02;293:2['  ]| Enter Lear, and Gloster:
02:02;293:2[F  ]| Where learn'd you this Foole?
02:02;293:2[N  ]| Not in$4$ the Stocks Foole.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Deny to$9$ speake with me?
02:02;294:1[A  ]| They are sicke, they are weary,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| They have trauail'd all the night? meere fetches,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| The images of reuolt and flying off.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Fetch me a better answer.
02:02;294:1[G  ]| My deere Lord,
02:02;294:1[G  ]| You know the fiery quality of the Duke,
02:02;294:1[G  ]| How vnremoueable and fixt he is
02:02;294:1[G  ]| In$4$ his owne course.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Vengeance, Plague, Death, Confusion:
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Fiery? What quality? Why Gloster, Gloster,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| I would speake with the Duke of Cornewall, and his wife.
02:02;294:1[G  ]| Well my good Lord, I have inform'd them so$5@2$.
02:02;294:1[A P]| Inform'd them? Do'st thou vnderstand me man.
02:02;294:1[G  ]| Aye my good Lord.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| The King would speake with Cornwall,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| The deere Father
02:02;294:1[A P]| Would with his Daughter speake, commands, tends, seruice,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Are they inform'd of this? My breath and blood:
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Fiery? The fiery Duke, tell the hot Duke that$3$ ---
02:02;294:1[A  ]| No$7$, but not yet, may*be he is not well,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Infirmity doth still neglect all office,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Whereto our$6@1$ health is bound, we$6@2$ are not our*selues,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| When Nature being opprest, commands the mind
02:02;294:1[A  ]| To$9$ suffer with the body; I will$1$ forbeare,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| And am fallen out with my more headier will$0$,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| To$9$ take the indispos'd and sickly fit,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| For$4$ the sound man. Death on$4$ my state: wherefore
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Should he sit here? This act perswades me,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| That$3$ this remotion of the Duke and her$6$
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Is practise only. Giue me my Seruant forth;
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Go tell the Duke, and his wife, I would speake with them:
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Now, presently: bid them come forth and heare me,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Or at their Chamber doore I will$1$ beate the Drum,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Till it$6@1$ crie sleepe to$4$ death.
02:02;294:1[G  ]| I would have all well betwixt you.  
02:02;294:1['  ]| Exit.
02:02;294:1[A P]| O me my heart! My rising heart! But downe.
02:02;294:1[N P]| Cry to$4$ it$6@2$ Nunckle, as the Cockney did to$4$ the
02:02;294:1[N P]| Eeles, when she put them in$4$ the Paste aliue, she knapt them
02:02;294:1[N P]| on$4$ the coxcombs with a sticke, and cryed downe wantons,
02:02;294:1[N P]| downe; it$6@1$ was her$2$ Brother, that$6@1$ in$4$ pure kindnesse to$4$ his
02:02;294:1[N  ]| Horse buttered his Hay.
02:02;294:1['  ]| Enter Cornewall, Regan, Gloster, Seruants.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Good morrow to$4$ you both.

02:02;294:1['  ]| Kent here set at liberty.
02:02;294:1[P  ]| I am glad to$9$ see your Highnesse.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Regan, I thinke you are. I know what reason
02:02;294:1[A  ]| I have to$9$ thinke so$5@2$, if thou should'st not be glad,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| I would diuorce me from thy Mother Tombe,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Sepulchring an Adultresse. O are you free?
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Some other time for$4$ that$6@2$. Beloued Regan,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Thy Sister is naught: o Regan, she hath tied
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Sharpe-tooth'd vnkindnesse, like a vulture here,
02:02;294:1[A  ]| I can scarce speake to$4$ thee, thou wilt not beleeue
02:02;294:1[A  ]| With how deprau'd a quality. O Regan.
02:02;294:1[P  ]| I pray you Sir, take patience, I have hope
02:02;294:1[P  ]| You lesse know how to$9$ value her$2$ desert,
02:02;294:1[P  ]| Then she to$9$ scant her$2$ dutie.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| Say? How is that$6@2$?
02:02;294:1[P  ]| I cannot thinke my Sister in$4$ the least
02:02;294:1[P  ]| Would faile her$2$ Obligation. If Sir perchance
02:02;294:1[P  ]| She have restrained the Riots of your Followres,
02:02;294:1[P  ]| It$6@1$ is on$4$ such ground, and to$4$ such wholesome end,
02:02;294:1[P  ]| As cleeres her$6$ from all blame.
02:02;294:1[A  ]| My curses on$4$ her$6$.
02:02;294:2[P  ]| O Sir, you are old,
02:02;294:2[P  ]| Nature in$4$ you stands on$4$ the very Verge
02:02;294:2[P  ]| Of his confine: you should be rul'd, and led
02:02;294:2[P  ]| By$4$ some discretion, that$6@1$ discernes your state
02:02;294:2[P  ]| Better then you your*selfe: therefore I pray you,

02:02;294:2[A  ]| That$3$ you will$1$ vouchsafe me Rayment, Bed, and Food.
02:02;294:2[P P]| Good Sir, no$2$ more: these are vnsightly trickes:
02:02;294:2[P  ]| Returne you to$4$ my Sister.
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Neuer Regan:

02:02;294:2[A  ]| Look'd blacke upon$4$ me, strooke me with her$2$ Tongue
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Most Serpent-like, upon$4$ the very Heart.
02:02;294:2[A  ]| All the stor'd Vengeances of Heauen, fall

02:02;294:2[A  ]| You taking Ayres, with Lamenesse.
02:02;294:2[D  ]| Fye sir, fie.
02:02;294:2[A P]| You nimble Lightnings, dart your blinding flames
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Into her$2$ scornfull eyes: Infect her$2$ Beauty,
02:02;294:2[A P]| You Fen-suck'd Fogges, drawne by$4$ the powrfull Sunne,
02:02;294:2[A  ]| To$9$ fall, and blister.
02:02;294:2[P  ]| O the blest Gods!
02:02;294:2[P  ]| So$5@2$ will$1$ you wish on$4$ me, when the rash moode is on$5$.
02:02;294:2[A  ]|  No$7$ Regan, thou shalt neuer have my curse:
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Thy tender-hefted Nature shall not giue
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Thee o're to$4$ harshnesse: Her$2$ eyes are fierce, but thine
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Do comfort, and not burne. It$6@1$ is not in$4$ thee
02:02;294:2[A  ]| To$9$ grudge my pleasures, to$9$ cut off my Traine,
02:02;294:2[A  ]| To$9$ bandy hasty words, to$9$ scant my sizes,
02:02;294:2[A  ]| And in$4$ conclusion, to$9$ oppose the bolt
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Against my comming in$5$. Thou better know'st
02:02;294:2[A  ]| The Offices of Nature, bond of Childhood,
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Effects of Curtesie, dues of Gratitude:
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Thy halfe of the Kingdome hast thou not forgot,
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Wherein I thee endow'd.
02:02;294:2[P  ]| Good Sir, to$4$ the purpose.  
02:02;294:2['  ]| Tucket within.

02:02;294:2[P  ]| That$3$ she would soone be heere. Is your Lady come?
02:02;294:2[A  ]| This is a Slaue, whose easie borrowed pride
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Dwels in$4$ the sickly grace of her$6$ he followes.
02:02;294:2[A  ]| Out Varlet, from my sight.
02:02;294:2[D  ]| What meanes your Grace?

02:02;294:2[A  ]| Art not asham'd to$9$ looke vpon this Beard?
02:02;294:2[A  ]| O Regan, will$1$ you take her$6$ by$4$ the hand?
02:02;294:2[O P]| Why not by$4$ the hand Sir? How have I offended?
02:02;294:2[O  ]| All is not offence that$6@1$ indiscretion findes,

02:02;295:1[A  ]| Returne to$4$ her$6$? and fifty men dismiss'd?
02:02;295:1[A  ]| No$7$, rather I abiure all roofes, and chuse
02:02;295:1[A  ]| To$9$ wage against the enmity of the ayre,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| To$9$ be a Comrade with the Wolfe, and Owle,

02:02;295:1[A  ]| Perswade me rather to$9$ be slaue and sumpter

02:02;295:1[O  ]| At your choice Sir.
02:02;295:1[A  ]| I prythee Daughter do not make me mad,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| I will$1$ not trouble thee my Child; farewell:
02:02;295:1[A  ]| We$6@2$ will$1$ no$2$ more meete, no$2$ more see one another.
02:02;295:1[A  ]| But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my Daughter,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Or rather a disease that$6@1$ is in$4$ my flesh,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Which$6@1$ I must needs call mine. Thou art a Byle,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| A plague sore, or imbossed Carbuncle
02:02;295:1[A  ]| In$4$ my corrupted blood. But I will$1$ not chide thee,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Let shame come when it$6@1$ will$1$, I do not call it$6@2$,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| I do not bid the Thunder-bearer shoote,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Nor tell tales of thee to$4$ high-iudging Ioue,

02:02;295:1[A  ]| I can be patient, I can stay with Regan,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| I and my hundred Knights.
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Not altogether so$5@2$,
02:02;295:1[P  ]| I look'd not for$4$ you yet, nor am prouided
02:02;295:1[P  ]| For$4$ your fit welcome, giue eare Sir to$4$ my Sister,

02:02;295:1[P  ]| Must be content to$9$ thinke you old, and so$5@2$,
02:02;295:1[P  ]| But she knowes what she does.
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Is this well spoken?
02:02;295:1[P  ]| I dare auouch it$6@2$ Sir, what fifty Followers?
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Is it$6@1$ not well? What should you need of more?
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Yea, or so$5@1$ many? Sith that$3$ both charge and danger,
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Speake 'gainst so$5@1$ great a number? How in$4$ one house
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Should many people, vnder two commands
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Hold amity? It$6@1$ is hard, almost impossible.
02:02;295:1[O P]| Why might not you my Lord, receiue attendance
02:02;295:1[O  ]| From those that$6@1$ she cals Seruants, or from mine?
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Why not my Lord?
02:02;295:1[P  ]| If then they chanc'd to$9$ slacke ye,
02:02;295:1[P  ]| We$6@2$ could comptroll them; if you will$1$ come to$4$ me,
02:02;295:1[P  ]| (For$3$ now I spie a danger) I entreate you
02:02;295:1[P  ]| To$9$ bring but fiue and twentie, to$4$ no$2$ more
02:02;295:1[P  ]| Will$1$ I giue place or notice.
02:02;295:1[A  ]| I gaue you all.
02:02;295:1[P  ]| And in$4$ good time you gaue it$6@2$.
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Made you my Guardians, my Depositaries,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| But kept a reseruation to$9$ be followed
02:02;295:1[A  ]| With such a number? What, must I come to$4$ you
02:02;295:1[A  ]| With fiue and twenty? Regan, said you so$5@2$?
02:02;295:1[P P]| And speak it$6@2$ againe my Lord, no$2$ more with me.
02:02;295:1[A P]| Those wicked Creatures yet do look well fauor'd
02:02;295:1[A  ]| When others are more wicked, not being the worst
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Stands in$4$ some ranke of praise, I will$1$ go with thee,
02:02;295:1[A  ]| Thy fifty yet doth double fiue and twenty,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| And thou art twice her$2$ Loue.
02:02;295:2[O  ]| Heare me my Lord;
02:02;295:2[O  ]| What need you fiue and twenty? Ten? Or fiue?
02:02;295:2[O  ]| To$9$ follow in$4$ a house, where twice so$5@1$ many
02:02;295:2[O  ]| Have a command to$9$ tend you?
02:02;295:2[P  ]| What need one?
02:02;295:2[A  ]| O reason not the need: our$6@2$ basest Beggers
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Are in$4$ the poorest thing superfluous.
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Allow not Nature, more then Nature needs:
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Mans life is cheape as Beastes. Thou art a Lady;
02:02;295:2[A  ]| If onely to$9$ go warme were gorgeous,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Why Nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear'st,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Which$6@1$ scarcely keepes thee warme, but for$4$ true need:
02:02;295:2[A  ]| You Heauens, giue me that$6@2$ patience, patience I need,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| You see me here (you Gods) a poore old man,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| As full of griefe as age, wretched in$4$ both,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| If it$6@1$ be you that$6@1$ stirres these Daughters hearts
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Against their Father, foole me not so$5@1$ much,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| To$9$ beare it$6@2$ tamely: touch me with Noble anger,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| And let not womens weapons, water drops,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Staine my mans cheekes. No$7$ you vnnaturall Hags,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| I will$1$ have such reuenges on$4$ you both,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| That$3$ all the world shall --- I will$1$ do such things,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| What they are yet, I know not, but they shall be
02:02;295:2[A  ]| The terrors of the earth? you thinke I will$1$ weepe,
02:02;295:2[A  ]| No$7$, I will$1$ not weepe, I have full cause of weeping.
02:02;295:2['  ]| Storme and Tempest.
02:02;295:2[A P]| But this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flawes
02:02;295:2[A  ]| Or ere I will$1$ weepe; O Foole, I shall go mad.  
02:02;295:2['  ]| Exeunt.
02:02;295:2[D  ]| Let us$6@2$ withdraw, it$6@1$ will$1$ be a Storme.
02:02;295:2[P  ]| This house is little, the old man and his people,
02:02;295:2[P  ]| Cannot be well bestow'd.
02:02;295:2[O P]| It$6@1$ is his owne blame hath put himselfe from rest,
02:02;295:2[O  ]| And must needs taste his folly.
02:02;295:2[P  ]| For$4$ his particular, I will$1$ receiue him gladly,
02:02;295:2[P  ]| But not one follower.
02:02;295:2[O  ]| So$5@2$ am I purpos'd,
02:02;295:2[O  ]| Where is my Lord of Gloster?
02:02;295:2['  ]| Enter Gloster.
02:02;295:2[D  ]| Followed the old man forth, he is return'd.
02:02;295:2[G  ]| The King is in$4$ high rage.
02:02;295:2[D  ]| Whether is he going?
02:02;295:2[G  ]| He cals to$4$ Horse, but will$1$ I know not whether.
02:02;295:2[D  ]| It$6@1$ is best to$9$ giue him way, he leads himselfe.
02:02;295:2[O  ]| My Lord, entreate him by$4$ no$2$ meanes to$9$ stay.
02:02;295:2[G P]| Alacke the night comes on$5$, and the high windes
02:02;295:2[G  ]| Do sorely ruffle, for$4$ many Miles about
02:02;295:2[G  ]| There is scarce a Bush.
02:02;295:2[P  ]| O Sir, to$4$ wilfull men,
02:02;295:2[P  ]| The iniuries that$6@1$ they themselues procure,
02:02;295:2[P  ]| Must be their Schoole-Masters: shut up$5$ your doores,

02:02;295:2[P  ]| To$9$ have his eare abus'd, wisedome bids feare.
02:02;295:2[D P]| Shut up$5$ your doores my Lord, it$6@1$ is a wil'd night,
02:02;295:2[D P]| My Regan counsels well: come out of the storme.

03:01;296:1[F  ]| I know you: Where is the King?
03:01;296:1[W  ]| Contending with the fretfull Elements;
03:01;296:1[W  ]| Bids the winde blow the Earth into the Sea,
03:01;296:1[W  ]| Or swell the curled Waters 'boue the Maine,
03:01;296:1[W  ]| That$3$ things might change, or cease.
03:01;296:1[F  ]| But who$6@2$ is with him?
03:01;296:1[W  ]| None but the Foole, who$6@1$ labours to$9$ outiest
03:01;296:1[W  ]| His heart-strooke iniuries.
03:01;296:1[F  ]| Sir, I do know you,
03:01;296:1[F  ]| And dare upon$4$ the warrant of my note

03:01;296:1[F  ]| Or the hard Reine which$6@1$ both of them hath borne
03:01;296:1[F  ]| Against the old kinde King; or something deeper,
03:01;296:1[F  ]| Whereof (perchance) these are but furnishings.
03:01;296:1[W  ]| I will$1$ talke further with you.
03:01;296:1[F  ]| No$7$, do not:
03:01;296:1[F  ]| For$4$ confirmation that$3$ I am much more
03:01;296:1[F  ]| Then my out-wall; open this Purse, and take

03:01;296:1[W  ]| Giue me your hand,
03:01;296:1[W  ]| Have you no$2$ more to$9$ say?
03:01;296:1[F  ]| Few words, but to$4$ effect more then all yet;

03:02;296:2[F  ]| Alas Sir are you here? Things that$6@1$ loue night,

03:02;296:2[F  ]| Gallow the very wanderers of the darke
03:02;296:2[F  ]| And make them keepe their Caues: Since I was man,

03:02;296:2[F  ]| Such groanes of roaring Winde, and Raine, I neuer

04:01;300:2[G  ]| They kill us$6@2$ for$4$ their sport.
04:01;300:2[H  ]| How should this be?
04:01;300:2[H  ]| Bad is the Trade that$6@1$ must play Foole to$4$ sorrow,
04:01;300:2[H  ]| Ang'ring it*selfe, and others. Blesse thee Master.
04:01;300:2[G  ]| Is that$6@2$ the naked Fellow?
04:01;300:2[W  ]| Aye, my Lord.
04:01;300:2[G  ]| Get thee away: If for$4$ my sake
04:01;300:2[G  ]| Thou wilt ore-take us$6@2$ hence a mile or twaine
04:01;300:2[G  ]| In$4$ the way toward Douer, do it$6@2$ for$4$ ancient loue,
04:01;300:2[G  ]| And bring some couering for$4$ this naked Soule,

04:01;300:2[W  ]| Alacke sir, he is mad.
04:01;301:1[G  ]| It$6@1$ is the times plague,
04:01;301:1[G  ]| When Madmen leade the blinde:

05:03;309:1[A  ]| Mine eyes are not of the best, I will$1$ tell you straight.
05:03;309:1[F  ]| If Fortune brag of two, she lou'd and hated,
05:03;309:1[F  ]| One of them we$6@2$ behold.
05:03;309:1[A  ]| This is a dull sight, are you not Kent?
05:03;309:1[F  ]| The same: your Seruant Kent,
05:03;309:1[F  ]| Where is your Seruant Caius?
05:03;309:1[A  ]| He is a good fellow, I can tell you that$6@2$,
05:03;309:1[A  ]| He will$1$ strike and quickly too, he is dead and rotten.
05:03;309:1[F  ]| No$7$ my good Lord, I am the very man.
05:03;309:1[A  ]| I will$1$ see that$6@2$ straight.
05:03;309:1[F  ]| That$6@1$ from your first of difference and decay,
05:03;309:1[F  ]| Have follow'd your sad steps.
05:03;309:1[A  ]| You are welcome hither.
05:03;309:1[F  ]| Nor no$2$ man else:
05:03;309:1[F  ]| All is cheerlesse, darke, and deadly,
05:03;309:1[F  ]| Your eldest Daughters have fore-done themselues,
05:03;309:1[F  ]| And desperately are dead
05:03;309:1[A  ]| Aye so$5@2$ I thinke.
05:03;309:1[E  ]| He knowes not what he saies, and vaine is it$6@1$
05:03;309:2[E  ]| That$3$ we$6@2$ present us$6@2$ to$4$ him.
05:03;309:2['  ]| Enter a Messenger.
05:03;309:2[H  ]| Very bootlesse.
05:03;309:2[W  ]| Edmund is dead my Lord.
05:03;309:2[E  ]| That$6@2$ is but a trifle here:
05:03;309:2[E  ]| You Lords and Noble Friends, know our$6@1$ intent,
05:03;309:2[E  ]| What comfort to$4$ this great decay may come,
05:03;309:2[E  ]| Shall be appli'd. For$4$ us$6@1$ we$6@1$ will$1$ resigne,
05:03;309:2[E  ]| During the life of this old Maiesty
05:03;309:2[E  ]| To$4$ him our$6@1$ absolute power, you to$4$ your rights,
05:03;309:2[E  ]| With boote, and such addition as your Honours
05:03;309:2[E  ]| Have more then merited. All Friends shall
05:03;309:2[E  ]| Taste the wages of their vertue, and all Foes
05:03;309:2[E  ]| The cup of their deseruings: O see, see.
05:03;309:2[A P]| And my poore Foole is hang'd: no$2$, no$2$, no$2$ life?
05:03;309:2[A  ]| Why should a Dog, a Horse, a Rat have life,
05:03;309:2[A  ]| And thou no$2$ breath at all? Thou wilt come no$2$ more,
05:03;309:2[A  ]| Neuer, neuer, neuer, neuer, neuer.
05:03;309:2[A  ]| Pray you vndo this Button. Thanke you Sir,
05:03;309:2[A  ]| Do you see this? Looke on$4$ her$6$? Looke her$2$ lips,
05:03;309:2[A  ]| Looke there, looke there.  
05:03;309:2['  ]| He dis.
05:03;309:2[H  ]| He faints, my Lord, my Lord.
05:03;309:2[F  ]| Breake heart, I prythee breake.
05:03;309:2[H  ]| Looke up$5$ my Lord.
05:03;309:2[F P]| Vex not his ghost, O let him passe, he hates him,
05:03;309:2[F  ]| That$6@1$ would upon$4$ the wracke of this tough world
05:03;309:2[F  ]| Stretch him out longer.
05:03;309:2[H  ]| He is gone indeed.
05:03;309:2[F  ]| The wonder is, he hath endur'd so$5@1$ long,
05:03;309:2[F  ]| He but vsurpt his life.
05:03;309:2[E  ]| Beare them from hence, our$6@2$ present businesse
05:03;309:2[E  ]| Is generall woe: Friends of my soule, you twaine,
05:03;309:2[E  ]| Rule in$4$ this Realme, and the gor'd state sustaine.
05:03;309:2[F  ]| I have a iourney Sir, shortly to$9$ go,
05:03;309:2[F  ]| My Master calls me, I must not say no$7$.

05:03;309:2[H  ]| Shall neuer see so$5@1$ much, nor liue so$5@1$ long.
