:22:03
Thou'lt catch cold shortly.
:22:05
Yes, forsooth,
:22:07
I will hold my tongue;
so your face bids me,

:22:09
so I'll say nothing.
:22:11
How now, daughter!
:22:15
You are too much
of late i' th' frown.

:22:18
Not only, sir,
this your all-licens'd fool,

:22:20
but other of your insolent retinue
do hourly carp and quarrel,

:22:24
breaking forth in rank
and not-to-be-endur'd riots.

:22:27
I had thought, by making
this well known unto you,
to have found a safe redress;

:22:31
but now grow fearful
by what yourself
too late have spoke and done,

:22:35
that you protect this course
and put it on
by your allowance;

:22:39
which if you should,
the fault would not
'scape censure,

:22:43
nor the redresses sleep.
:22:46
For you know, nuncle,
:22:47
the hedge-sparrow
fed the cuckoo so long,

:22:49
it had its head bit off
by its young.

:22:51
So, out went the candle
and we were left darkling.

:22:55
Are you our daughter?
:22:57
I would you would
make use of your
good wisdom,

:22:59
whereof I know you
are fraught, and put away
these dispositions

:23:02
which of late transport you
from what you rightly are.

:23:05
May not an ass know
when the cart draws the horse?
Whoop, Jug! I love thee.

:23:10
Does any here know me?
:23:14
This is not Lear.
:23:17
Does Lear walk thus,
:23:21
speak thus?
:23:24
Where are his eyes?
:23:26
Ha, waking?
:23:28
'Tis not so.
:23:31
Who is it who can
tell me who I am?

:23:33
Lear's shadow.
:23:35
I would learn that.
:23:39
Your name,
:23:40
fair gentlewoman?
:23:45
This admiration,
sir, is much of the savour
of other your new pranks.

:23:50
I do beseech you,
understand
my purposes a'right,

:23:54
as you are old
and reverend
should be wise.
