Reg. That's most certain, and with you; next month[2658] 285
with us.
Gon. You see how full of changes his age is; the observation[2659]
we have made of it hath not been little: he always[2660]
loved our sister most; and with what poor judgement he hath
now cast her off appears too grossly.[2661] 290
Reg. 'Tis the infirmity of his age: yet he hath ever but
slenderly known himself.
Gon. The best and soundest of his time hath been but
rash; then must we look to receive from his age, not alone[2662]
the imperfections of long ingrafted condition, but therewithal[2663] 295
the unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric[2664]
years bring with them.
Reg. Such unconstant starts are we like to have from[2665]
him as this of Kent's banishment.
Gon. There is further compliment of leave-taking between[2666] 300
France and him. Pray you, let's hit together: if our[2667]
father carry authority with such dispositions as he bears,[2668]
this last surrender of his will but offend us.
Reg. We shall further think on 't.[2669]
Gon. We must do something, and i' the heat. [Exeunt.305
