Glou. His breeding, sir, hath been at my charge: I[2425]
have so often blushed to acknowledge him that now I am[2425]
brazed to it.[2425][2430] 10
Kent. I cannot conceive you.[2425]
Glou. Sir, this young fellow's mother could: whereupon[2425]
she grew round-wombed, and had indeed, sir, a son for her[2425]
cradle ere she had a husband for her bed. Do you smell a[2425]
fault?[2425] 15
Kent. I cannot wish the fault undone, the issue of it[2425]
being so proper.[2425]
Glou. But I have, sir, a son by order of law, some year[2425][2431]
elder than this, who yet is no dearer in my account: though[2425][2432]
this knave came something saucily into the world before he[2425][2433] 20
was sent for, yet was his mother fair; there was good sport[2425]
at his making, and the whoreson must be acknowledged.[2425][2434]
Do you know this noble gentleman, Edmund?[2425][2435]
Glou. My lord of Kent: remember him hereafter as my[2425][2437] 25
honourable friend.[2425][2437]
Edm. My services to your lordship.[2425]
Kent. I must love you, and sue to know you better.[2425]
