Lear. What says the fellow there? Call the clotpoll[2815] 45

Lear. Why came not the slave back to me when I 50

Knight. Sir, he answered me in the roundest manner,[2819][2820]
he would not.

Lear. He would not![2821]

Knight. My lord, I know not what the matter is; but,[2819] 55

Lear. Ha! sayest thou so? 60
