Not altogether so,
I looked not for you yet.

1:03:06
If you will come to me,
I entreat you to bring

1:03:09
but five-and-twenty knights.
1:03:12
- I gave you all!
- And in good time you gave it.

1:03:15
Made you my guardians,
my depositaries,

1:03:18
but kept a reservation to be
followed with such a number.

1:03:20
What need you five-and-twenty, ten
or five, in a house

1:03:23
where twice so many
have a command to tend you?

1:03:26
What need one?
1:03:29
O, reason not the need.
1:03:47
Our basest beggars are in
the poorest thing superfluous.

1:03:51
Allow not nature more than nature
needs,

1:03:57
man's life is cheap as beast's.
1:04:01
You heavens, give me that patience!
Patience I need!

1:04:07
You see me here, you gods,
1:04:14
a poor old man.
1:04:18
If it be you that stir these
daughters against their father,

1:04:21
fool me not so much
to bear it tamely,

1:04:26
touch me with noble anger.
1:04:29
No, you unnatural hags, I will
have such revenges on you both

1:04:34
that they shall be the terrors
of the earth.

1:04:37
You think I'll weep?
1:04:45
No, I'll not weep.
1:04:47
I have full cause of weeping,
but this heart shall break into

1:04:49
a hundred flaws, or e'er I'll weep.
1:04:54
O fool, I shall go mad!
