:08:00
Ay, my good lord.
:08:02
So young
and so untender?

:08:06
So young, my lord,
:08:08
and true.
:08:09
Let it be so!
:08:11
Thy truth, then, be thy dower!
:08:14
For, by the secret radiance
of the sun,

:08:16
the mysteries of Hecat
and the night;

:08:18
by all the operation
of the orbs from whom
you exist and cease to be;

:08:23
here I disclaim
all my paternal care,

:08:26
and as a stranger
to my heart and me,
hold thee from this for ever!

:08:37
Royal Lear...
:08:41
Come not between
the dragon and his wrath.

:08:44
Cornwall and Albany,
:08:46
with my two daughters' dowers,
digest the third.

:08:57
I do invest you jointly
with my power,

:09:00
pre-eminence,
and all the large effects
that troop with majesty.

:09:09
Ourself,
by monthly course,

:09:13
with reservation
of an hundred knights,

:09:15
by you to be sustained,
:09:17
shall our abode
make with you by due turn.

:09:22
Only we shall
retain the name,

:09:26
and all the addition
to a king:

:09:30
The sway, revenue,
execution of the rest,

:09:35
beloved sons, be yours.
:09:40
Lear is mad!
:09:43
What would'st
thou do, old man?

:09:47
Thy youngest daughter
does not love thee least.

:09:51
The bow is
bent and drawn;

:09:54
make from the shaft.
:09:57
Let it fall.
:09:59
Kent, on thy life,
no more.
