Reg. Wherefore to Dover? Wast thou not charged at peril—[3943]

Glou. I am tied to the stake, and I must stand the course.[3945]
Reg. Wherefore to Dover, sir?[3946]
Glou. Because I would not see thy cruel nails 55

In his anointed flesh stick boarish fangs.[3947]

In hell-black night endured, would have buoy'd up,[3949]
And quench'd the stelled fires:[3950][3951] 60
Yet, poor old heart, he holp the heavens to rain.[3950][3952]
If wolves had at thy gate howl'd that stern time,[3953]
Thou shouldst have said, 'Good porter, turn the key,'[3954]
All cruels else subscribed: but I shall see[3955]
The winged vengeance overtake such children. 65

Upon these eyes of thine I'll set my foot.[3956]
Glou. He that will think to live till he be old,[3957]

Corn. If you see vengeance—[3960]
