Gon. Come, sir,[2924]
I would you would make use of that good wisdom[2925][2926]
Whereof I know you are fraught, and put away[2925][2927]
These dispositions that of late transform you[2925][2928] 215
From what you rightly are.[2925]
Fool. May not an ass know when the cart draws the
horse? Whoop, Jug! I love thee.
Lear. Doth any here know me? This is not Lear:[2929][2930]
Doth Lear walk thus? speak thus? Where are his eyes?[2931] 220
Either his notion weakens, his discernings[2932]
Are lethargied—Ha! waking? 'tis not so.[2933]
Who is it that can tell me who I am?[2929][2934]
Fool. Lear's shadow.[2935]
Lear. I would learn that; for, by the marks of sovereignty[2936][2937] 225
knowledge and reason, I should be false persuaded[2936][2938]
I had daughters.[2936]
Fool. Which they will make an obedient father.[2936][2939][2940]
Lear. Your name, fair gentlewoman?[2939]
Gon. This admiration, sir, is much o' the savour[2941][2942] 230
Of other your new pranks. I do beseech you[2941]
To understand my purposes aright:[2941][2943]
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.[2941][2944]
Here do you keep a hundred knights and squires;[2941][2945]
Men so disorder'd, so debosh'd and bold,[2941][2946] 235
That this our court, infected with their manners,[2941]
Shows like a riotous inn: epicurism and lust[2941][2947]
Make it more like a tavern or a brothel[2941][2948]
Than a graced palace. The shame itself doth speak[2941][2949]
For instant remedy: be then desired[2941][2950] 240
By her that else will take the thing she begs[2941]
A little to disquantity your train,[2941][2951]
And the remainder that shall still depend,[2941][2952]
To be such men as may besort your age,[2941]
Which know themselves and you.[2941][2953]
Lear. Darkness and devils![2941] 245
Saddle my horses; call my train together.[2941]
Degenerate bastard! I'll not trouble thee:[2941]
Yet have I left a daughter.[2941]
Gon. You strike my people, and your disorder'd rabble[2954]
Make servants of their betters.[2954] 250
