Glou. O ruin'd piece of nature! This great world[4337]
Shall so wear out to nought. Dost thou know me?[4337][4338]
Lear. I remember thine eyes well enough. Dost thou[4339] 135
squiny at me? No, do thy worst, blind Cupid; I'll not love.[4340]
Read thou this challenge; mark but the penning on't.[4341]
Glou. Were all the letters suns, I could not see one.[4342]
Edg. I would not take this from report: it is,[4343]
And my heart breaks at it.[4343] 140
Lear. Read.
Glou. What, with the case of eyes?[4344]
Lear. O, ho, are you there with me? No eyes in your
head, nor no money in your purse? Your eyes are in a[4345][4346]
heavy case, your purse in a light: yet you see how this[4345][4347] 145
world goes.[4348]
Glou. I see it feelingly.
Lear. What, art mad? A man may see how this world[4349]
goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears: see how yond[4350][4351]
justice rails upon yond simple thief. Hark, in thine ear:[4351][4352] 150
change places, and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which[4353][4354]
is the thief? Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a[4353]
beggar?
Glou. Ay, sir.[4355]
