Oron. Then shall her Happiness weigh nothing with you?
Lear. Not this.—If it did, I'd give her to thee, and not to him.
Oron. Do you think forc'd Marriage the Way to keep Women virtuous?
Lear. No; nor I don't Care whether Women are virtuous or not.
Oron. You know your Daughter loves me?
Lear. I do so.
Oron. What, if the Children that Esop may happen to father, shou'd chance to be begot by me?
Lear. Why, then Esop wou'd be the Cuckold, not I.
Oron. Is that all your Care?
Lear. Yes: I speak as a Father.
