Lear. A pestilent gall to me![2857]
Fool. Sirrah, I'll teach thee a speech.[2858] 110
Lear. Do.[2859]
Fool. Mark it, nuncle:[2860]
Have more than thou showest,[2861]
Speak less than thou knowest,[2861]
Lend less than thou owest,[2861] 115
Ride more than thou goest,[2861]
Learn more than thou trowest,[2861]
Set less than thou throwest;[2861]
Leave thy drink and thy whore,[2861]
And keep in-a-door,[2861][2862] 120
And thou shalt have more[2861]
Than two tens to a score.[2861]
Kent. This is nothing, fool.[2863]
Fool. Then 'tis like the breath of an unfee'd lawyer,[2864]
you gave me nothing for't. Can you make no use of[2865] 125
nothing, nuncle?[2866]
Lear. Why, no, boy; nothing can be made out of
nothing.
Fool. [To Kent] Prithee, tell him, so much the rent of[2867]
his land comes to: he will not believe a fool. 130
Lear. A bitter fool![2868]
Fool. Dost thou know the difference, my boy, between[2868][2869]
a bitter fool and a sweet fool?[2868][2870]
