00:00:00I thought the King had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwall.
00:00:29Well, it all seems so to us.
00:00:31But now, in the division of the kingdom,
00:00:34it appears not which of the Dukes he values most.
00:00:37Poor equalities are so weighed that
00:00:39curiosity in neither can make choice of either's moiety.
00:00:46Is not this your son, my lord?
00:00:48His breeding, sir, has been at my charge.
00:00:51I have blushed so often to acknowledge him,
00:00:54that now I am braced to it.
00:00:56I cannot conceive him.
00:00:58This young fellow's mother could.
00:01:00Whereupon she grew round the wound,
00:01:03and had indeed, sir, a son for her cradle,
00:01:05ere she had a husband for her bed.
00:01:08Do you smell a fault?
00:01:09I cannot wish the fault undone,
00:01:11the issue of it being so proper.
00:01:13But I have a son, sir, by order of law,
00:01:15some year elder than this,
00:01:17who is yet no dearer in my account.
00:01:20Though this knave came somewhat sorcery into the world
00:01:23before he was sent for,
00:01:25it was his mother fair.
00:01:28Oh, there was good sport at his making,
00:01:32and the horse must be acknowledged.
00:01:35Edmund, do you know this noble gentleman?
00:01:38No, my lord.
00:01:39My lord of Kent.
00:01:41Remember him hereafter as my honourable friend.
00:01:43My service is to your lordship.
00:01:45I must love you and see you to know you better.
00:01:47Sir, I shall study deserving.
00:01:49He has been out nine years,
00:01:52and away he shall again.
00:01:54The king is coming.
00:02:00Attend the lords of France and Burgundy.
00:02:02Goster.
00:02:03I shall, my lord.
00:02:04Meantime, we shall express our darker purpose.
00:02:09Give me the map there.
00:02:11Know that we have divided in three our kingdom,
00:02:17and it is our fast intent to shake all care and business from our age,
00:02:21conferring them on younger strengths,
00:02:23as we unburdened crawl toward death.
00:02:30As one of Cornwall and you,
00:02:32an o'erless loving son of Albany,
00:02:34we have this hour the constant will to publish our daughters' several dowers,
00:02:39that future strife may be prevented.
00:02:42Now, the princes of France and Burgundy,
00:02:47great rivals in our youngest daughter's love,
00:02:49long in our courts have made their amorous sudgen,
00:02:52and here are to be answered.
00:02:57Tell me, my daughters,
00:03:00since now we will divest us both of rule, interest of territory, cares of state,
00:03:05which of you, shall we say,
00:03:09doth love us most?
00:03:13That we our largest bounty may extend when nature doth with merit challenge.
00:03:18Donnerill, our eldest born, speak first.
00:03:24Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter.
00:03:29Fear of an eyesight, space, and liberty,
00:03:33beyond what can be valued rich or rare,
00:03:36no less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour,
00:03:41as much as child e'er loved or father found.
00:03:45A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.
00:03:50Beyond all manner of so much, I love you.
00:03:52Chocolatier, speak.
00:03:54Love and be silent.
00:03:55Of all these bounds, even from this line to this,
00:03:58with shadowy forests and with champagnes,
00:04:00rich with plenteous rivers and wide-skirted meads,
00:04:02we make thee, lady, to thine, and all beneath this hue, be this perpetual.
00:04:07What says our second daughter, our dearest Regan, wife of Cornwall?
00:04:13I am made of that self-metal as my sister,
00:04:17and prize me at her worth.
00:04:20In my true heart I find she names my very deed of love,
00:04:23only she comes too short.
00:04:26That I profess myself an enemy to all other joys
00:04:29that the most precious square of sense possesses,
00:04:33and find I am alone felicitate in your dear highness' love.
00:04:37Poor Cordelia, and yet not so, since I am sure my love's more ponderous than mine.
00:04:42To thee and thine hereditary ever remain this ample third of our fair kingdom,
00:04:46no less in space validity and pleasure than that conferred on Goneril.
00:04:51Now, our joy, although our last and least,
00:04:56to whose young love the vines of France and milk of Burgundy strive to be interested,
00:05:00what can you say to draw a third more opulent than your sisters?
00:05:07Speak.
00:05:10Nothing, my lord.
00:05:13Nothing?
00:05:15Nothing.
00:05:18Nothing will come of nothing.
00:05:21Speak again.
00:05:23Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave my heart into my mouth.
00:05:27I love your majesty according to my bond, no more nor less.
00:05:30Ah, Cordelia, mend your speech a little, lest you may mire your fortunes.
00:05:34Good my lord, you have begotten me, bred me, loved me.
00:05:38Now return those duties back as a right fit.
00:05:40Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
00:05:43Why have my sisters' husbands if they say they love you all?
00:05:48Happily, when I shall wed, that lord whose hand must take my plight
00:05:52shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty.
00:05:57Sure, I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.
00:06:01It goes thy heart with this.
00:06:04So young, my good lord.
00:06:06So young, and so until.
00:06:10So young, my lord, and true.
00:06:15Let it be so.
00:06:17Thy truth, then, be thy done.
00:06:20For by the sacred radiance of the sun, the mysteries of Hecate and the night,
00:06:24by all the operation of the orbs from whom we do exist or cease to be,
00:06:28here I disclaim all my paternal care, propiquity, and property of blood,
00:06:34and, as a stranger to my heart and me, hold thee from this forever.
00:06:39The barbarous Scythian, or he that makes his generation messes to gorge his appetite,
00:06:44shall to my bosom be as well-neighbored, pitied, and relieved as thou,
00:06:48my sometime daughter.
00:06:50Good my lord.
00:06:51Peace, Kent.
00:06:54Calm not between the dragon and his wrath.
00:06:57I loved her most, and thought to set my rest on her kind nursery.
00:07:02Go to the void, my sight.
00:07:06So in my grave, my peace.
00:07:09As here I give her father's heart from her.
00:07:14Call France, Worcester, Scoburg, and Ip.
00:07:16Cornwall and Albany.
00:07:18With my two daughters' dowers, digest the third.
00:07:22Let pride, which she calls plainness, marry her.
00:07:27I do invest you jointly with my power and preeminence,
00:07:30and all the large effects that troop with majesty.
00:07:34Ourself, by monthly cause, with reservation of an hundred knights,
00:07:39by you to be sustained, shall our abode make with you by due terms.
00:07:44Only we will retain the name and all the addition of a king,
00:07:47the sway, revenue, execution of the rest, beloved sons, be yours.
00:07:51Wish to confirm this colony part between you and me.
00:07:53No, dear, whom I have ever honored as my king, loved as my father,
00:07:56as my master, followed as my great patron, thought on in my prayer.
00:07:59The bow is bent and drawn, make from the shaft.
00:08:01I'll fall rather than a fork invade the region of my heart.
00:08:04Be, Kent, unmannerly when near is bad.
00:08:06What willst thou do, old man?
00:08:08Dost think that duty shall have dread to speak when power to flattery bows?
00:08:12To plainness honor's bound when majesty falls to folly.
00:08:17Reserve thy state, and in thy best consideration check thy hideous rashness.
00:08:23Answer my life, my judge, when thy youngest daughter does not love thee least,
00:08:27nor are they empty-hearted, whose low sounds reverb no hollowness.
00:08:30Kent, on thy life no more.
00:08:32My life I ever held, but I have appalled to wage against thine enemies,
00:08:35nor fear to lose it, thy safety being motive.
00:08:38Out of my sight.
00:08:39See better, Lear, and let me still remain the true blank of thine eye.
00:08:42Now by Apollo.
00:08:43Now by Apollo, king, thou swearest thy gods in vain.
00:08:45Miscreant!
00:08:46Kill thy physician, and thy fee bestow upon the foul disease.
00:08:50Revoke thy gift.
00:08:52While I can vent clamor from my throat, I'll tell thee thou dost evil.
00:08:56Hear me, recreant.
00:08:58On thine allegiance, hear me.
00:09:06As thou hast sought to make us break our vow, which we dares never yet,
00:09:10and thy strained pride to come betwixt our sentence and our power,
00:09:13which nor our nature nor our place can bear,
00:09:15our potency made good, take thy reward.
00:09:21Five days we do allot thee for provision to shield thee from disasters of the world,
00:09:25and on the sixth to turn thy hated back upon our kingdom.
00:09:30If on the tenth day following thy banished trunk be found in our dominion,
00:09:33that moment is thy death.
00:09:34Away!
00:09:35By Jupiter!
00:09:36This shall not be revoked.
00:09:39Fare thee well, king, since thus thou wilt appear.
00:09:42Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here.
00:09:47The gods to their dear shelter take thee, maid,
00:09:50that justly think'st and hast most rightly said.
00:09:53And your large speeches may your deeds approve,
00:09:56but good effects may spring from words of love.
00:10:01Thus Kent, O princes, bids you all adieu.
00:10:06He will shape his old course in a country of youth.
00:10:09Yes, France and Burgundy, my noble lord.
00:10:12My lord of Burgundy, we first address to all you,
00:10:14who with this king have been rivaled for our daughter.
00:10:19What in the least will you require in present dower with her,
00:10:24or cease your quest of love?
00:10:26Most royal majesty, I crave no more than hath your highness offered,
00:10:29nor will you tend her less.
00:10:31Right, noble Burgundy, when she was dear to us we did hold her so,
00:10:34but now her price is all.
00:10:37So there she stand,
00:10:39if ought within that little seeming substance, or all of it,
00:10:43with our displeasure appeased.
00:10:45May fitly like your grace, she's there, and she is yours.
00:10:50I know no answer.
00:10:51Will you, with those infirmities she owes, unfriended,
00:10:54new adopted to our hate,
00:10:56dowered with our curse, and strangered with our oath, take her or leave her.
00:11:00Pardon me, royal sir, election makes not up on such conditions.
00:11:03Then leave her, sir, for by the power that made me I tell you all her wealth.
00:11:13For you, great king, I would not from your love
00:11:15make such a stray to match you where I hate.
00:11:19Therefore beseech you to avert your liking a more worthy away
00:11:22than on a wretch whom nature is ashamed almost to acknowledge her.
00:11:25This is most strange.
00:11:26She, who even but now is your best object,
00:11:29the argument of your praise, balm of your age, the best, the dearest,
00:11:32should in this trice of time commit a thing so monstrous
00:11:35as to dismantle so many folds of fear.
00:11:38I'm sure her offence must be of such unnatural degree that monsters it,
00:11:42or your forevached affection will fall into taint,
00:11:45which, to believe of her,
00:11:49must be of faith, reason, without miracle,
00:11:52could never plant in me.
00:11:54I yet beseech you, majesty,
00:11:56if for I want that glib and oily art to speak and purpose not,
00:12:00since what I well intend I'll do it before I speak,
00:12:03that you make known it is no vicious blot, murder, or foulness,
00:12:07no unchaste action or dishonoured step
00:12:09that hath deprived me of your grace and favour.
00:12:12But even for want of that for which I am richer,
00:12:15a still soliciting eye and such a tongue that I am glad I have not,
00:12:19no, not to have it, hath lost me in your liking.
00:12:22Better thou hadst not been born than not to have pleased me better.
00:12:28Eres, Cordelia,
00:12:31art most rich being poor,
00:12:33most choice forsaken,
00:12:35and most love despised.
00:12:38Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon.
00:12:41Be lawful, I take up what's cast away.
00:12:44Thou hast a France, let her be thine, for we have no such daughter,
00:12:48nor shall ever see that face of hers again.
00:12:50Therefore be gone without our love, our grace, our piety.
00:13:05Bid farewell to your sisters.
00:13:10Jewels of our father,
00:13:12with washed eyes Cordelia leaves you.
00:13:15I know you what you are,
00:13:17and like a sister am most loath to call your faults as they are named.
00:13:23Love well our father.
00:13:25Your professing bosoms I commit him,
00:13:28and yet alas, were I within his grace, I would prefer him to a better place.
00:13:37So farewell to you both.
00:13:39Prescribe not us our duty.
00:13:41Let your study be to content your lord who has received you at fortune's arms.
00:13:47You have obedience scanted, and well are worth the want that you have wanted.
00:13:51Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides,
00:13:54who covered faults at last with shame derides.
00:13:58Well may you prosper.
00:14:00Done, my fair Cordelia.
00:14:03Sister, it is not little, I have to say, what most nearly appertains to us both.
00:14:09I think our father will hence tonight.
00:14:11That's most certain, and with you.
00:14:13And with you.
00:14:15Next month with us.
00:14:17You see how full of changes his age is?
00:14:20The observation we have made of it had not been little.
00:14:24He always loved our sister most,
00:14:26and with what poor judgment he hath now cast her off appears too grossly.
00:14:30Tis the infirmity of his age.
00:14:33Yet he hath ever but slenderly known himself.
00:14:36The best and soundest of his time hath been but rash.
00:14:40Then must we look to receive from his age,
00:14:42not alone the imperfections of long engrafted condition,
00:14:45but therewithal the unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric years bring with them.
00:14:49Such inconstant starts are we likely to have of him of this of Ken's banishment.
00:14:54There is further compliment of leave taken between France and him.
00:14:57Pray you, let us hit together.
00:15:00If our father carry authority with such disposition as he bears,
00:15:03this last surrender of his will but offend us.
00:15:07We shall think further of it.
00:15:10We must do something, and in the heat.
00:15:30Thou, nature of my goddess,
00:15:34to thy law my services abound.
00:15:37Wherefore should I stand in the plague of custom,
00:15:39and permit the curiosity of nations to deprive me,
00:15:42for that I am some twelve or fourteen moonshines lag of a brother?
00:15:46Why, bastard, wherefore base,
00:15:51when my dimensions are as well compact,
00:15:53and my mind as generous,
00:15:55and my shape as true as honest madam's issue?
00:15:59Why brand they us with base, with baseness,
00:16:01bastardy, base, base?
00:16:05Who in the lusty stealth of nature take more composition and fierce quality
00:16:09than doth within a dull, stale, tired bed
00:16:11go to the creating a whole tribe of fops,
00:16:14gotween asleep and wake?
00:16:17Well then, legitimate Edgar,
00:16:21I must have your land.
00:16:24Our father's love is to the bastard Edmund as to the legitimate.
00:16:29Fine word, legitimate.
00:16:33Well, my legitimate, if this letter speed and my invention thrive,
00:16:37Edmund the base shall top the legitimate.
00:16:39I grow, I prosper.
00:16:41Now gods, stand up for bastards.
00:16:45Edmund.
00:16:46How now?
00:16:47What news?
00:16:48So please you, Lordship, none.
00:16:49I seek you so earnestly to put up that letter.
00:16:52I know no news, my lord.
00:16:54What paper were you reading?
00:16:55Nothing, my lord.
00:16:56No.
00:16:57What needed then that terrible dispatch of it into your pocket?
00:17:01The quality of nothing hath not such need to hide itself.
00:17:04Now come, let's see.
00:17:05If it be nothing, I shall not need spectacle.
00:17:09I do beseech your lordship, pardon me.
00:17:11It is a letter from my brother that I have not all or read,
00:17:14and for so much as I have perused, I find it not fit for your or looking.
00:17:17Give me the letter.
00:17:18I shall offend either to detain or give it.
00:17:20The contents, as in part I understand them, are to blame.
00:17:23Come, let's see, let's see.
00:17:25I hope for my brother's justification he wrote this but as an essay,
00:17:28or taste of my virtue.
00:17:34I find a maglum fond bondage in the oppression of age's tyranny,
00:17:38which sways not as it hath died, but as it is suffered.
00:17:41Come to me, that of this I may speak more.
00:17:44If our father would sleep till I wake him,
00:17:51you should enjoy half his revenue for ever,
00:17:55and live the beloved of your brother, Edgar.
00:18:01My son, Edgar.
00:18:04Had he the hand to write this?
00:18:05Do you know the characters to be your brothers?
00:18:08Or has he never before spoken to you on this business?
00:18:11Whatever, my lord.
00:18:12But I have oft heard him maintain it to be fit
00:18:14that sons at perfect age and fathers declined.
00:18:17The father should be as ward to the son, and the son manage his revenue.
00:18:20Oh, villain.
00:18:22Villain, his very opinion in the letter.
00:18:25A horrid villain, unnatural, detested, British villain.
00:18:30Worse than British.
00:18:32Go, sir, and seek him out. I'll apprehend him.
00:18:34Abominable villain.
00:18:36Oh, he cannot be such a monster.
00:18:39Though his father that so tenderly and entirely loves him,
00:18:43nor is not sure.
00:18:46Ah.
00:18:48These great eclipses in the sun and moon
00:18:52portend no good to him.
00:18:55Find out the villain, Edmund.
00:18:57It shall lose thee nothing.
00:18:59But do it carefully.
00:19:06Ah.
00:19:07Noble and true-hearted Kent, banished.
00:19:11His offence?
00:19:13Honesty.
00:19:16Ah, this train.
00:19:23This is the excellent foppery of the world,
00:19:25that when we are sick in fortune,
00:19:27often the surface of our own behaviour,
00:19:29we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon and the stars,
00:19:33as if we were villains on necessity,
00:19:35fools by heavenly compulsion,
00:19:38knaves, thieves and treacherous by spherical predominance,
00:19:41drunkards, liars and adulterers
00:19:43by an enforced obedience of planetary influence,
00:19:46and all that we are evil in by a divine thrusting on.
00:19:51An admirable evasion of whore master man
00:19:55lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star.
00:19:59My father compounded with my mother under the dragon's tail,
00:20:03and my nativity was under Ursa Major,
00:20:05so that it follows I am rough and lecherous.
00:20:08I should have been that I am
00:20:10had the maidenliest star in the firmament
00:20:12twinkled on my bastardising.
00:20:14Edgar.
00:20:16And Patty comes, like the catastrophe of the old comedy.
00:20:20My cue is villainous melancholy with a sigh like Tom O'Bedlam.
00:20:23Oh, these eclipses should portend these evisions.
00:20:26Ah, Salome.
00:20:27How now, brother Edmund?
00:20:28What serious contemplation are you in?
00:20:30I am thinking, brother, of a prediction I heard this other day
00:20:33of what should follow these eclipses.
00:20:35How long have you been a secretary astronomical?
00:20:38When saw you my father last?
00:20:40The night gone by.
00:20:41Spake you with him?
00:20:42Ay, two hours together.
00:20:43Found you no displeasure in him by word nor countenance?
00:20:46No, none at all.
00:20:47Well, bethink yourself within you may have offended him,
00:20:49and at my entreaty forbear his presence
00:20:51until some little time hath qualified the heat of his displeasure,
00:20:53which at this instant so rageth in him,
00:20:55that even with the mischief of your person it would scarcely allay.
00:21:00Some villain hath done me wrong.
00:21:01That's my fear.
00:21:03I pray you, have a confident forbearance
00:21:04till the speed of his rage goes slower.
00:21:06I pray you, go.
00:21:08If you do stir abroad, go armed.
00:21:10Armed, brother?
00:21:12Brother, I advise you to the best.
00:21:14I am no honest man if there be any good meaning towards you.
00:21:16I've told you what I've seen and heard, but faintly.
00:21:19Nothing like the image and horror of it.
00:21:21I pray you, away.
00:21:23Shall I hear from you or not?
00:21:25I do serve you in this business.
00:21:34Did my father strike my gentleman for chiding of his fool?
00:21:37Ay, madam.
00:21:40By day and night he wrongs me.
00:21:43Every hour he flashes into some gross crime
00:21:46or other that sets us all at odds.
00:21:48I'll not endure it.
00:21:51His knights grow riotous.
00:21:53Himself upbraids us on every trifle.
00:21:56When he returns from hunting, I will not speak with him, sir.
00:21:59If you come slack of former services, you shall do well.
00:22:02At the thought of it, I'll answer.
00:22:04He is coming, madam. I hear him.
00:22:06Put on what weary negligence you please, you and your fellows.
00:22:09I'd have it come to question.
00:22:11If he distaste it, let him to my sister,
00:22:14whose mind and mine in that I know are one,
00:22:16not to be overruled.
00:22:18Idle old man,
00:22:20that still would manage those authorities that he had given away.
00:22:23Now, by my life,
00:22:25that still would manage those authorities that he had given away.
00:22:27Now, by my life,
00:22:29old fools are babes again
00:22:31and must be used with checks
00:22:33as flatterers when they are seen abused.
00:22:35Remember what I have said?
00:22:37Well, madam.
00:22:38And let his knights have colder looks among you.
00:22:40Would Roosevelt no matter advise your fellow so?
00:22:43I would breed from hence occasions,
00:22:45and I shall, but I may speak.
00:22:48I'll write straight to my sister to hold my very course.
00:22:51Prepare for dinner.
00:22:56If but as well I other accents borrow
00:22:59that can my speech defuse,
00:23:02my good intent may carry through itself
00:23:05to that full purpose for which I raised my likeness.
00:23:08Now, banished Kent,
00:23:11if thou canst serve where thou dost stand condemned,
00:23:14so it may come thy master whom thou lovest
00:23:17shall find thee full of labels.
00:23:19Oh, let me not stay a drop for dinner.
00:23:21Go, get it ready.
00:23:23Go, get it ready.
00:23:26What art thou?
00:23:27A man, sir.
00:23:28What dost thou profess?
00:23:29What wouldst thou with us?
00:23:30I do profess to be no less than I seem,
00:23:33to serve him truly that will put me in trust,
00:23:35to love him that is honest,
00:23:36to converse with him that is wise and says little,
00:23:39and to fear judgment,
00:23:40to fight when he cannot choose,
00:23:41and to eat no fish.
00:23:42What art thou?
00:23:43Very honest-hearted fellow, sir,
00:23:45and as poor as the king.
00:23:46If thou be'st as poor for a subject as he is for a king,
00:23:48thou art poor enough.
00:23:49And what wouldst thou?
00:23:50Service.
00:23:51Who wouldst thou serve?
00:23:52You.
00:23:53Dost thou know me, fellow?
00:23:54No, sir, but you have that in your countenance
00:23:56that I'd fain call master.
00:23:57What's that?
00:23:58Authority.
00:24:00Follow me, thou shalt serve me.
00:24:02If I like thee no worse after dinner,
00:24:03thou shalt not part from me yet.
00:24:04Dinner.
00:24:05Oh, dinner.
00:24:06You sinner, where's my daughter?
00:24:08Sir, please, your...
00:24:09You, sir, you.
00:24:12Come you hither.
00:24:14Sir.
00:24:18Who am I?
00:24:20Sir.
00:24:21My lady's father.
00:24:24My lady's father.
00:24:26My lord's name.
00:24:28You whoreson duck.
00:24:30You slave, you cur.
00:24:31I am none of these things, my lord.
00:24:33I beseech your pardon.
00:24:34Do your bandy looks with me, you rascal.
00:24:36I will not be strucken, my lord.
00:24:38Nor tripped neither, you base football player.
00:24:41I thank thee.
00:24:43Thou serv'st me, and I love thee.
00:24:45Come, sir, arise, away.
00:24:47I'll teach you difference.
00:24:48Away.
00:24:49If you measure your lover's legs again,
00:24:51Terry, put away.
00:24:54Go to, have you, mister?
00:24:56Sir.
00:24:59My friend, in name I thank thee.
00:25:01There's earliest to thy service.
00:25:02Let me go, I beg you.
00:25:04There's my coxcomb.
00:25:07Well, my pretty, in name.
00:25:08How dost thou?
00:25:10You were best take my coxcomb.
00:25:12Why, fool?
00:25:13Why?
00:25:14For taking one's partner down to favour, nay,
00:25:16and thou canst not smile as the wind sits.
00:25:19Thou'll catch cold shortly.
00:25:21Take my coxcomb.
00:25:22Why, this fellow, he's banished to one's daughters
00:25:24and did the third of blessing against his will.
00:25:26If you follow him, you must need wear my coxcomb.
00:25:30Now, now, uncle.
00:25:31Would I add two coxcombs and two daughters?
00:25:34Aye, boy.
00:25:35If I gave them all me living,
00:25:36I'd keep me coxcombs meself.
00:25:38There's mine.
00:25:39Beg another of thy daughters.
00:25:41Take heed, sir.
00:25:42The whip.
00:25:44Truth's a dog, master kennel.
00:25:46He must be whipped out,
00:25:47while the lady Brack may stand to the fire and stink.
00:25:50A pestilent gall to me.
00:25:52Sir, I'll teach thee a speech.
00:25:54Do, boy.
00:25:55Now, mark it, uncle.
00:25:57And more than thou show'st, speak less than thou know'st.
00:26:00Lend less than thou ow'st, ride more than thou go'st.
00:26:03Learn more than thou trow'st, sit less than thou throw'st.
00:26:07Leave thy drink and thy oar, and keep in a door.
00:26:10And thou shouldst have more than two tens to a score.
00:26:13This is nothing, fool.
00:26:14Then tis like the breath of an unfeed lawyer.
00:26:17You gave me nothing for it.
00:26:19Can you make no use of nothing, uncle?
00:26:21I know, boy.
00:26:22Nothing can be made of nothing.
00:26:24Oh, Prithee, tell him.
00:26:26So much the rent of his land comes,
00:26:28till he'll not believe a fool.
00:26:30Bitter fool.
00:26:31What, dost know the difference, my boy,
00:26:33between a bitter fool and a sweet one?
00:26:35No, boy.
00:26:36Teach me.
00:26:38Then, Lord, that counsel thee to give away thy land,
00:26:41come, place it near by me, and do thou for instance.
00:26:44The sweet and bitter fool will presently appear.
00:26:47The one in Montreer, the other found out there.
00:26:51Dost thou call me fool, boy?
00:26:53All thy other titles thou hast given away.
00:26:56That thou wast born with.
00:26:58This is not altogether fool, my Lord.
00:27:00Oh, Hannah, daughter.
00:27:02What makes that frunk a don?
00:27:04Methinks you're too much a lady to frown.
00:27:07Not only, sir, this your all-licensed fool,
00:27:09but other of your insolent retinue,
00:27:11to hourly carp and quarrel, breaking forth in rank,
00:27:14and not to be endured in riots.
00:27:16Sir, I had thought by making this well known unto you
00:27:19to have found a safe redress,
00:27:21but now grow fearful by what yourself too late have spoken done,
00:27:25that you protect this course and put it on by your allowance.
00:27:28Oh, no, no.
00:27:29For the egg sparrow fed the cuckoo so long it had it dead,
00:27:33so out went the candle, and we were left darkling.
00:27:35Are you our daughter?
00:27:37I would, if you would make use of that good wisdom,
00:27:40whereof I know you are fraught,
00:27:42and put away these dispositions which have laid to transport you
00:27:44from what you rightly are.
00:27:46May not the ash know when a cart draws the horse?
00:27:48Whoop! Jack, I love it.
00:27:50Does any here know me?
00:27:51This is not clear.
00:27:52Who is it that can tell me who I am?
00:27:54Leah's shadow.
00:27:55I would learn that,
00:27:56for by the marks of sovereignty, reason, and knowledge,
00:27:58I should be false persuaded I had daughters.
00:28:01They will make an obedient father.
00:28:03Your name, fair gentlewoman.
00:28:06This admiration, sir, is much in the savour of other of your new pranks.
00:28:10I do beseech you to understand my purposes are right.
00:28:13As you are old and reverend, should be wise.
00:28:17Here do you keep a hundred knights and squires,
00:28:19men so disordered, so debauched and bold,
00:28:22that this our court, infected with their manners,
00:28:24shows like a riotous inn.
00:28:26Epicurism and lust make it more like a tavern or a brothel than a graced palace.
00:28:30Shame itself would speak of instant remedy.
00:28:33Be then desired by her that else will take the things she begs,
00:28:37a little to disquantity your train,
00:28:39and the remainder that shall still depend to be such men as may besought your age,
00:28:43which know themselves and you.
00:28:44Darkness and devil! Saddle my horses. Call my train together.
00:28:47Degenerate bastard, I'll not trouble thee.
00:28:49Yet have I left a daughter.
00:28:51You strike my people,
00:28:52and your disordered rabble makes servants of their bitters.
00:28:55Oh, that too late repents.
00:28:56Oh, sir, are you come? Is it your will?
00:28:58Speak, sir. Prepare my horses.
00:28:59Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend,
00:29:02more hideous when thou show'st thee in a child than the sea monster.
00:29:05Pray, sir, be patient.
00:29:06Detested kite, thou liest.
00:29:08My train are men of choice and rarest part,
00:29:10who all particulars of duty know,
00:29:12and with the most exact regard support the worship of their name.
00:29:15Oh, no small fault.
00:29:18How ugly didst thou in Cordelia show,
00:29:21which, like an engine, wrenched my frame of nature from the fixed place,
00:29:24drew from my heart all love, and added to the gall.
00:29:26Oh, leer, leer, leer, beat at this gate that let thy folly in,
00:29:30and thy dear judgment out.
00:29:32Go, go, my people.
00:29:33My lord, I am guiltless, as I am ignorant of what...
00:29:36It may be so, my lord.
00:29:38Here, nature, here, dear goddess, here.
00:29:41Suspend thy purpose,
00:29:43if thou didst intend to make this creature fruitful,
00:29:47into her womb conveys sterility.
00:29:52Dry up in her the organs of increase,
00:29:55and from her derogate body never spring a babe to honour.
00:30:01If she must teen,
00:30:04create her child of spleen,
00:30:07that it may live and be a thwart,
00:30:09this nature dormit her.
00:30:11Let it plant wrinkles in her brow of youth,
00:30:13with cadent tears, fret channels in her cheeks.
00:30:16Turn all her mother's pains and benefits
00:30:18to laughter and contempt,
00:30:20that she may feel
00:30:22how sharper than her serpent's tooth it is
00:30:25to have a thankless child.
00:30:27Away, away!
00:30:28Gods that we adore, whereof comes...
00:30:30Asshole!
00:30:31Can I forget?
00:30:32I am ashamed that thou hast power to shake my man with us.
00:30:35That these hot tears that break from me before she should make thee worth them
00:30:39blasts and fogs upon thee.
00:30:41The untented woundings of a father's curse
00:30:43pierce every sense about thee.
00:30:45Old pond eyes, beweave this cause again,
00:30:48or I'll pluck thee out and cast you in the waters that you loosed to temper clay.
00:30:52Is it come to this?
00:30:54Let it be so.
00:30:57I have another daughter,
00:30:59who I am sure is kind and comfortable.
00:31:01When she shall hear this of thee,
00:31:03with her nails she'll flay thy wolvish visage.
00:31:08Thou shall see that I'll resume the shape
00:31:10which thou just think I have cast off forever.
00:31:14Do you mark that, my lord?
00:31:16Are you content?
00:31:18What, Oswald, who?
00:31:21You, sir, more maid than fool,
00:31:24after your master.
00:31:27Uncle here, take the fool with thee.
00:31:33I know, Oswald.
00:31:35What, have you writ that letter to my sister?
00:31:37Aye, madam.
00:31:38Take you some company and away to horse.
00:31:41Inform her fool of my particular fear,
00:31:43and thereto add such reasons of your own as may compact it more.
00:31:46But you go on, and hasten your return.
00:31:54Oh, well.
00:31:56The event.
00:32:00Go you before to my lady Regan with these letters.
00:32:03Acquaint her no further with anything you know
00:32:05than comes from her demand out of the letter.
00:32:07If your diligence be not speedy, I shall be there before you.
00:32:10I will not sleep, my lord, till I have delivered your letter.
00:32:13If a man's brains were in his eaves,
00:32:15were it not in danger of cibes,
00:32:17well, then, prithee, be merry.
00:32:19Thy wit shall not go slipshod.
00:32:22Shalt see thy other daughter will use thee kindly,
00:32:25for though she's as like this as a crab's like an apple,
00:32:27yet I can tell what I can tell.
00:32:29She will taste as like this as a crab does to a crab.
00:32:32Canst tell why one's nose stands in the middle of his face?
00:32:35No.
00:32:36To keep his eyes at either side of his nose,
00:32:38that what a man cannot smell out he may spy into.
00:32:41I did her wrong.
00:32:43Canst tell how an oyster makes his shell?
00:32:45No.
00:32:46Nor I, neither, but I can tell why a snail has a house.
00:32:48Why?
00:32:49To put his head in,
00:32:50not to give to wait with daughters and leave his horns without a case.
00:32:53Shall forget my nature.
00:32:55So kind a father.
00:32:57Be my horses ready.
00:32:59Thy ashes have gone about them.
00:33:00The reason why the seven stars are no more than seven is a pretty reason.
00:33:05Because they're not eight.
00:33:07Yes, indeed.
00:33:09Now let's make a good fool to take to Kenberforce.
00:33:13Monster in gratitude.
00:33:15If thou wert my fool, knuckle,
00:33:17I'd have thee beaten for being old before thy time.
00:33:20How's that?
00:33:26Thou shouldst not have been old until thou hadst been wise.
00:33:32Oh, let me not be mad.
00:33:35Not mad.
00:33:38Sweet heaven, keep me in temper.
00:33:43I would not be mad.
00:33:47Come, boy.
00:33:50She that's a maid now and laughs at my departure
00:33:53shall not be a maid long.
00:33:55And this thing's be cut shorter.
00:34:01I heard myself proclaimed.
00:34:03And by the happy hollow of a tree escaped the hunt.
00:34:06The hunt is free.
00:34:07No place that guard and most unusual vigilance does not attend my taking.
00:34:14Whilst I may escape,
00:34:17I will preserve myself.
00:34:21And am bethought to take the basest and most poorest shape that ever penury
00:34:27in contempt of man
00:34:29brought near to be seen.
00:34:33My face I'll brine with filth.
00:34:36Blanket my loins.
00:34:37Elf all my hairs in knots.
00:34:40And with presented nakedness outface the winds and persecutions of the sky.
00:34:45The country gives me proof and precedent of bedlam beggars
00:34:49with roaring voices strike in their numbed and mortified bare arms.
00:34:55Pins,
00:34:56wooden pricks,
00:34:58nails,
00:34:59sprigs of rosemary.
00:35:01And with this horrible object
00:35:04low fowls,
00:35:06poor pelting villages,
00:35:08sheep coats,
00:35:09mills,
00:35:11sometimes with lunatic bands,
00:35:12sometimes prayers
00:35:15enforce their charity.
00:35:20Poor Turley God.
00:35:22Poor Tom.
00:35:26But something yet.
00:35:29Edgar, I nothing am.
00:35:36Good dawning to thee, friend.
00:35:39Art of this house?
00:35:40Aye.
00:35:41Where may we set our horses?
00:35:42In the mire.
00:35:43Prithee, if thou love'st me, tell me.
00:35:45May I love thee not?
00:35:46Why then, I care not for thee.
00:35:48If I had thee in lips very pinfold, I'd make thee care for me.
00:35:51Why do you use me thus?
00:35:53I know thee not.
00:35:54Fellow, I know thee.
00:35:55What dost thou know me for?
00:35:57A knave, a rascal,
00:35:58an eater of broken mates,
00:35:59a base, proud, beggarly,
00:36:01three-suited, hundred-pound,
00:36:02filthy, worsted, stocking knave.
00:36:04A lily-livered, action-taking,
00:36:06whoreson, glass-gazing,
00:36:07super-serviceable, finical rogue.
00:36:12A one-trunk inheriting slave,
00:36:14one that wouldst be a board
00:36:16by way of good service,
00:36:18and art nothing but the combination
00:36:20of a knave, beggar, coward, pander,
00:36:22and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch,
00:36:24one which I shall beat
00:36:26into a clamorous whining
00:36:27if thou deny'st the least syllable of thy addition.
00:36:29Why, what a monstrous fellow art thou
00:36:31to rail on one that is neither known of thee
00:36:33nor knows thee.
00:36:34What a brazen-faced violet art thou
00:36:35to deny thou knowest me.
00:36:38Is it two days since I tripped thee up by the heels
00:36:41and beat thee before the king?
00:36:44Come, draw thy sword,
00:36:45for though it be night, yet the moon shines.
00:36:48Come on, I'll make a sop of the moonshine of you.
00:36:51You whoreson, cullion,
00:36:54barbermonger,
00:36:55draw away.
00:36:56I'll have nothing to do with thee.
00:36:58Draw, you rascal.
00:36:59Help, ho, murder, help.
00:37:01Strike, you slave.
00:37:03Stand, rogue, stand.
00:37:04Help, you neat slave, strike.
00:37:06Help, ho, murder, help.
00:37:08Weapons, arms, what is the matter here?
00:37:11Keep peace upon your lives.
00:37:14He dies that strikes again.
00:37:18What was the offence you gave him?
00:37:20I never gave him any.
00:37:23Fetch forth the stocks.
00:37:26You stubborn ancient naggy.
00:37:29Reverend Braggart, we'll teach you.
00:37:32Sir, I'm too old to learn.
00:37:34Call not your stocks for me.
00:37:37I serve the king,
00:37:39on whose employment I was sent to you.
00:37:43You shall do small respect,
00:37:44show too bold malice
00:37:46against the grace and person of my master,
00:37:49stocking his messenger.
00:37:50Fetch forth the stocks.
00:37:52As I have life and honour here,
00:37:53shall he sit till noon?
00:37:54Till noon.
00:37:56Till night, my lord,
00:37:58and all night too.
00:37:59Why, madam, if I were your father's dog,
00:38:01you would not use me so?
00:38:02Serving his knave, I will.
00:38:03This is a fellow of the self-same colour
00:38:05our sisters speak so.
00:38:07Come, bring away the stocks.
00:38:09Let me beseech your grace not to do so.
00:38:12And his fault is,
00:38:13matter the good king,
00:38:14his master will take him for it.
00:38:16Your purpose, no correction,
00:38:19is such as basest and condemnest wretches
00:38:22for pilferings and most common trespasses
00:38:25are punished with.
00:38:27The king must take it ill
00:38:28that he so slightly valued this vector
00:38:31should have him thus restrained.
00:38:35I'll answer that.
00:38:36My sister may receive it much more worse
00:38:38to have a gentleman abused, assaulted
00:38:40for following her affairs.
00:38:42Put in his legs.
00:38:44Come, my lord, away.
00:38:49I'm sorry for thee, friend.
00:38:51It is the duke's pleasure
00:38:53whose disposition all the world well knows
00:38:56will not be rubbed nor stopped.
00:39:01I'll entreat for thee.
00:39:02Pray you, do not, sir.
00:39:04I've watched and travelled hard.
00:39:06Sometime I shall sleep out,
00:39:08the rest I'll whistle.
00:39:09A good man's fortune may grow out at heels.
00:39:12Give you good morrow.
00:39:14The duke's complained.
00:39:16The duke's complained.
00:39:19It'll be you taken.
00:39:22Great king that dost approve the common sore,
00:39:24thou out of heaven's benediction
00:39:26comest to the warm sun.
00:39:30Approach thou beacon to this underglobe.
00:39:33And by thy comfortable beams
00:39:34I may peruse this letter.
00:39:38Nothing almost sees miracles but misery.
00:39:43I notice from Cordelia
00:39:46who hath most happily been informed
00:39:48of my obscured course
00:39:51and shall find time from this enormous state
00:39:56seeking to give losses their remedy.
00:40:02All weary and all watched.
00:40:06Take vantage, heavy eyes,
00:40:08not to behold thy shameful lodging.
00:40:12Fortune, good night.
00:40:14Smile once more.
00:40:16Turn thy wheel.
00:40:31It is strange that they should so depart from home
00:40:33and not send back my messenger.
00:40:35Hail to thee, noble master.
00:40:36Ah, makes thou this shame, thy pastime?
00:40:40Now, my good lord.
00:40:41He wears cruel garters,
00:40:43horses attired by the head,
00:40:44dogs and bears by the neck,
00:40:45monkeys by the loins,
00:40:46men by the legs.
00:40:47When a man's overthrust the head and legs,
00:40:49he wears wooden leather stockings.
00:40:53What's he that has so far thy place,
00:40:54Miss Doctor, said thee?
00:40:55He and she, your son and daughter.
00:40:58No. Yes.
00:40:59No, I say.
00:41:00I say yes.
00:41:01No, no, they would not.
00:41:02Yes, they have.
00:41:03By Jupiter, I swear no.
00:41:04By Juno, I swear aye.
00:41:05They does not do it.
00:41:08They would not, could not do it.
00:41:11Tis worse than murder to do upon respect
00:41:13such violent outrage.
00:41:14Winter's not gone yet.
00:41:15If the wild geese fly that way.
00:41:17Ah, this mother swells up to admire.
00:41:19Hysterica passio.
00:41:21Down, our climbing sorrow.
00:41:23High elements below.
00:41:26Where is this daughter?
00:41:27With the earl, sir, here within.
00:41:32Follow me not.
00:41:33Stay here.
00:41:35How chance the king comes with so small a number.
00:41:38And thou act'st been setting the stocks for that question.
00:41:40That's well deserved it.
00:41:41Why fool?
00:41:42We sent thee to school to an aunt.
00:41:44To teach thee there's no labouring in the winter.
00:41:47All that follow them knows is a little bit of eyes.
00:41:51But blind men, and there's not a nose among twenty,
00:41:54but can smell him that's stinking.
00:41:56Let go thy hold when a great wee runs down.
00:41:59O, he'll lest it break thy neck with following.
00:42:01But the great one that goes upward,
00:42:03let him draw thee after.
00:42:05When a wise man gives thee better counsel,
00:42:07let me have mine again.
00:42:08I'd have none, but knaves follow it,
00:42:10since a fool gives it.
00:42:12Well, learn't you this, fool?
00:42:14Knock thee the stocks, fool.
00:42:17Deny to speak with me?
00:42:18They are sick, they are weary,
00:42:19they travel all the night mere fetches.
00:42:21Ay, the images of revolt and flying off,
00:42:23fetch me a better answer.
00:42:24Ay, dear lord, you know the fiery quality of the duke.
00:42:28At one removable and fixed he is in his own court.
00:42:30Vengeance, plague, death, confusion.
00:42:32Fiery? What quality?
00:42:33Why, Gloucester, Gloucester,
00:42:35I would speak with the duke of Cornwall and his wife.
00:42:37I have informed them so, my lord.
00:42:39Just understand me, man.
00:42:40Ay, my lord.
00:42:41The king would speak with Cornwall.
00:42:44The dear father would with his daughter speak.
00:42:46Commands, tend service.
00:42:48Are they informed of this?
00:42:49My breath and blood, fiery, the fiery duke.
00:42:52Tell the hot duke that...
00:42:57No, no, not yet.
00:43:01Maybe he is not well.
00:43:03Infirmity doth still neglect all office,
00:43:05whereto our health is bound.
00:43:06We are not ourselves.
00:43:08Nature, being oppressed, commands the mind
00:43:10to suffer with the body.
00:43:11I'll forbear.
00:43:12And I'm fallen out with my more headier will
00:43:15to take the indisposed and sickly fit for the sound man.
00:43:20Death on my stick.
00:43:21Wherefore should he sit here?
00:43:23This act persuades me that this remotion of the duke and her
00:43:26is practice only.
00:43:28Give me my servant forth.
00:43:32Go.
00:43:33Tell the duke and his wife I speak with them now, presently.
00:43:35Bid them come forth and hear me,
00:43:37or at their chamber door I'll beat the drum
00:43:40till it cries sleep to death.
00:43:42Oh, I would have all wells if they heard me, my heart.
00:43:46My rising hearts.
00:43:49Down.
00:43:50Cry to it, an uncle, as the cockney did to the ills
00:43:53when she put them in a place to lie.
00:43:55She napped them on a coxcomb with a stick.
00:43:57Down, you wanton, down.
00:44:00It was her, brother, that in pure kindness to his horse
00:44:03butted his hay.
00:44:09Good morning, Hubert.
00:44:10Hail to your grace.
00:44:12I'm glad to see your highness.
00:44:19Rick.
00:44:21I think you are.
00:44:23I know what reason I have to think so.
00:44:25If thou shouldst not be glad, I would divorce me from thy mother's tomb,
00:44:28sepulchring and adulterous.
00:44:30Are you free some other time for that?
00:44:33Beloved Regan, my sister's not.
00:44:37Poor Regan.
00:44:39She hath tied sharp-toothed unkindness like a vulture here.
00:44:42I can scarce speak with thee.
00:44:44Thou dost not believe with how depraved a quality.
00:44:46Oh, Regan.
00:44:48I pray you, sir, take patience.
00:44:50I have hope you less know how to value her dessert
00:44:52than she to scant her duty.
00:44:54Say, how is that?
00:44:55I cannot think my sister in the least would fail in her obligation.
00:44:58If, sir, perchance she hath restrained the riots of your followers,
00:45:01it is on such ground and such wholesome end as clears her from all blame.
00:45:05My curse is on her.
00:45:06Oh, sir, you are old.
00:45:08Nature in you stands on the very verge of her confine.
00:45:12You should be ruled and led by a discretion that discerns your state better than you yourself.
00:45:17Therefore, I pray you, that to my sister you do make return.
00:45:21Say, you have wronged her.
00:45:23Ask her forgiveness.
00:45:26Do you but mark how this becomes the house.
00:45:29Dear daughter, I confess that I am old.
00:45:32Age is unnecessary.
00:45:34On my knees I beg that you'll vouchsafe me raiment better.
00:45:37Good sir, no more.
00:45:38These runcitely tricks return you to my sister.
00:45:40Never, Regan.
00:45:41She hath abated me of heart.
00:45:42My train looked black upon me, struck me with her tongue,
00:45:45most serpent-like about the very heart.
00:45:47All the stored vengeances of heaven fall on her ingrateful top.
00:45:50Strike her young bones, you taking heirs with lameness.
00:45:53Why, sir, why?
00:45:54Let lightnings dart your blinding flames into her scornful eyes.
00:45:57Infect her beauty, you fen-sucked frogs,
00:46:00drawn by the powerful sun to fall and blister.
00:46:03O, the blessed gods!
00:46:04Who will wish on me when the rational is on?
00:46:05No, Regan.
00:46:07Thou shalt never have our curse.
00:46:10Thy tender-hefted nature shall not give thee o'er to harshness.
00:46:15Her eyes are fierce, but thine do comfort and not burn.
00:46:20It is not in thee to grudge my pleasures,
00:46:22to cut off my trade, to band the hasty words,
00:46:24to scant my sizes,
00:46:25and, in conclusion, to oppose the bolt against my coming in.
00:46:28O, thou better know'st the opposite of nature.
00:46:32Bond of childhood, effects of courtesy, dues of gratitude.
00:46:36Thy half of the kingdom hast thou not forgot,
00:46:39wherein I thee endowed.
00:46:40Good sir, to the purpose.
00:46:43Who put my man in the stops?
00:46:47What comfort's there?
00:46:48Tis my sister's.
00:46:49This approves her letter. She would soon be here.
00:46:51Has your lady come?
00:46:52This is a slave whose easy-borrowed pride dwells in the fickle grace of her.
00:46:55She follows out valiant from my sight.
00:46:57What means your grace?
00:46:58Who stops my servant?
00:47:00Regan, I have good hope thou didst not know it.
00:47:02Who comes here?
00:47:08O, heavens!
00:47:09If you do love old men,
00:47:12if your sweet sway allow obedience,
00:47:14if you yourselves are old,
00:47:16make it your cause.
00:47:17Send down and take my part.
00:47:20Art not ashamed to look upon this beard?
00:47:22O, Regan, wilt thou take her by the hand?
00:47:24Why not by the hand, sir?
00:47:26How have I offended?
00:47:27O, is not offence that indiscretion finds and dotage term so?
00:47:31O, sights, you are too tough.
00:47:33Will you let hold?
00:47:35How came my man in the stops?
00:47:37I set him there, sir.
00:47:39But his own disorders deserve much less advancement.
00:47:41You, did you?
00:47:43I pray you, father, being weak, seem so.
00:47:46If till the expiration of a month he will return
00:47:48and sojourn with my sister, dismissing half your train,
00:47:51come then to me.
00:47:53I am now from home,
00:47:55and out of that provision which will be needful for your entertainment.
00:47:58Return to her, and fifty men dismissed?
00:48:00No, rather I abjure all roofs
00:48:02and seek to wage against the energy of the air,
00:48:04to be a comrade with the wolf and owl.
00:48:06Necessity's sharp edge.
00:48:08Return with her?
00:48:09Why, the hot-blooded France
00:48:11who dullest took our youngest born,
00:48:13I could as soon be brought to knee his throne
00:48:15and squire like penchant beg to keep base life afoot.
00:48:18Return with her?
00:48:20Persuade me rather to be slave and sumptuous of that detested groom.
00:48:23At your choice, sir.
00:48:24Pithy daughter, do not make me mad.
00:48:29I will not trouble thee, my child. Farewell.
00:48:30We'll no more speak, no more see one another.
00:48:36Yet thou art my flesh,
00:48:39my blood,
00:48:41my daughter,
00:48:44or rather a disease that's in my flesh which I must needs call mine.
00:48:47Thou art a boil, a plaguesore, an infected carbuncle in my corrupted blood.
00:48:51But I'll not chide thee.
00:48:52Let shame come when it will. I do not call it.
00:48:54I do not bid the thunder-bearer shoot,
00:48:56nor tell tales of thee to high-judging Jove.
00:48:58Mend when thou canst.
00:48:59Be better at thy leisure.
00:49:01I can stay with Regan.
00:49:04I am my hundred knights.
00:49:05Not altogether so.
00:49:08I look not for you yet, nor am provided for your fit welcome.
00:49:11Give ear, sir, to my sister.
00:49:13For those that must mingle reason with your passion must be content to think you old.
00:49:19And so...
00:49:21But she knows what she does.
00:49:23Is this well said?
00:49:25I dare about it, sir.
00:49:26What, fifty followers? Is it not well?
00:49:28What should you need of more?
00:49:29Yea, or so many.
00:49:30Sith, who both charge and danger speak against so great a number.
00:49:33How in one household should many people under two commands hold amity?
00:49:37Tis hard.
00:49:39Tis hard.
00:49:41Almost impossible.
00:49:42Why might not you, my lord, receive attendance from those that she calls servants, or from mine?
00:49:47Then if they chanced a slackie, we could control them.
00:49:51If you will come to me...
00:49:54Nay, for now I spy a danger.
00:49:56I entreat you bring but five and twenty.
00:50:00To no more will I give place and notice.
00:50:03I gave you all.
00:50:04And in good time you gave it.
00:50:06Made you, my guardians, my depositories, but kept a reservation to be followed by such a number.
00:50:11What, must I come to you with five and twenty?
00:50:14Regan said you so.
00:50:15And speak together, my lord, no more with me.
00:50:19Those wicked creatures, yet to look well favoured when others are more wicked.
00:50:23Not being worst, stands in some rank of praise.
00:50:26I'll go with thee.
00:50:27Thy fifty yet doth double five and twenty.
00:50:30And thou art twice her love.
00:50:32Hear me, my lord.
00:50:33What need you five and twenty?
00:50:35Ten or five to follow in a house where twice so many have a command to tend you?
00:50:39What need one?
00:50:42Oh...
00:50:45Reason, not the need.
00:50:48Now basest beggars are in the poorest things superfluous.
00:50:52Allow not nature more than nature needs.
00:50:55Man's life is cheap as beasts.
00:50:57Thou art a lady, if only to go warm or gorgeous.
00:50:59Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wearest, but scarcely keeps thee warm.
00:51:03But for true need, you heavens, give me patience.
00:51:05Patience I need.
00:51:08You see me here, you gods, a poor old man.
00:51:11As full of grief as age, wretched in both.
00:51:14If it be you that stirs these daughters' hearts against their father,
00:51:19fool me not so much to bear it tamely.
00:51:22Touch me with noble anger.
00:51:25And let not women's weapons, water drops, stain my man's cheeks.
00:51:31No, you unnatural hegs!
00:51:34I will have such revenges on you both as all the world shall...
00:51:39I shall do such things.
00:51:41What they are yet I know not, that they shall be the terrors of the earth.
00:51:45You think I'll weep? No, I'll not weep.
00:51:48I have full cause of weeping.
00:51:52That this heart shall break into a hundred thousand floors, more ere I'll weep.
00:52:05I shall go mad.
00:52:18Let us withdraw.
00:52:20It will be a storm.
00:52:23This house is little.
00:52:25The old man and his followers cannot be well bestowed.
00:52:28It is his own blame, to put himself from rest, and must needs taste his folly.
00:52:32For his particular, I'll receive him gladly.
00:52:35But not one follower, so am I purposed.
00:52:38Where is my lord of Gloucester?
00:52:40Followed the old man forth. Ah, he's returned.
00:52:43The king is in high rage.
00:52:45With who is he going?
00:52:47Calls doors, but will I know not with it.
00:52:50It's best to give him way.
00:52:52He leads himself.
00:52:54My lord entreat him by no means to stay.
00:52:57By that the night comes on,
00:53:00and the bleak winds do sorely ruffle.
00:53:02For many miles around there's scarce a boost.
00:53:05Oh, sir, to willful men the injuries that they themselves procure must be their schoolmasters.
00:53:10Shut up your doors.
00:53:12He's attended by a desperate train.
00:53:15And what they may incense him to, being apt to have his ear abused, wisdom bids fear.
00:53:19Shut up your doors, my lord.
00:53:21There's a wild night.
00:53:23My Regan counsels well.
00:53:26Come out of the storm.
00:53:40Low winds!
00:53:43Uncrack your cheeks!
00:53:45Rage! Blow!
00:53:49You cataracts and hurricanos!
00:53:52Spout till you have drenched her steeples!
00:53:56Drown the corpse!
00:54:00Sophorus and Ford executing fires.
00:54:02Ford's couriers evoke the cleaving thunderbolts.
00:54:05Singe my white head!
00:54:08And thou, shaking thunder,
00:54:12strike flat the thick rotundity of the world.
00:54:16Flax nature's mould.
00:54:19Old German's pellet buds that make ingrateful man.
00:54:24Drown! Drown, coldly, forfeit and dry out.
00:54:28She's better than this rainwater out of your good knuckle-in.
00:54:32Ask thy daughters, bless the years and night-pities,
00:54:35neither wise men nor fools.
00:54:38Rumble thy bellyful.
00:54:41Big fire! Spout rain!
00:54:45Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire are my daughters.
00:54:48I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness.
00:54:51I never gave you kingdom, called you children.
00:54:54You owe me no subscription.
00:54:56Then let fall your horrible pleasure.
00:55:00Here I stand, your slave.
00:55:04The poor, infirm, weak and despised old man.
00:55:11And yet, I call you servile ministers
00:55:15that will, with two pernicious daughters,
00:55:18join your high-engendered battles
00:55:20against a head so old and white as this.
00:55:23No!
00:55:25Tis foul!
00:55:28He that has a house to put it in, it has a good headpiece.
00:55:32I will be the pattern of all patience.
00:55:37I will say nothing.
00:55:41Who's there?
00:55:43Marry ship! He has grace and a caught feet.
00:55:46That's a wise man and a fool.
00:55:48Alas, sir, are you here?
00:55:52Think with long night, I've not such nights as these.
00:55:56The wrathful skies cut all the very wonders of the dark
00:56:00and make them keep their caves.
00:56:03Since I was born, such sheets of fire,
00:56:06such bursts of horrid thunder,
00:56:09such groans of roaring wind and rain,
00:56:12I never remember to have heard.
00:56:15Man's nature cannot carry the affliction nor the fear.
00:56:19The great gods that keep this dreadful puddle on our heads
00:56:23find out their enemies now.
00:56:26The triple are rich.
00:56:28The haste within the undivulging crimes unquitted of justice.
00:56:32I need a bloody hand.
00:56:35I will purge you of our similar virtue and our incestuous,
00:56:40catered to pieces shaken,
00:56:43of undercovered and convenient seeming,
00:56:45of practiced on man's eye.
00:56:48Close pent-up gills,
00:56:50writhe your concealing continents
00:56:52and cry these dreadful summoner's graves.
00:56:56I am a man more sinned against than sinning.
00:57:02Gracious my lord, hard by here is a hobble.
00:57:06Some friendship may it lend you against the tempest.
00:57:09Repose you there.
00:57:15My wits begin to turn.
00:57:20Come on, my boy.
00:57:22Now, bless me, my lord.
00:57:24Out cold.
00:57:28I'm cold, my son.
00:57:32Where is this straw, fellow?
00:57:35The art of our necessities is strange,
00:57:37but it can make viable things precious.
00:57:40Come, my lord.
00:57:50Poor fool and knave.
00:57:52I have one part in my heart that's sorry here for thee.
00:57:57Hey, the path and a little tiny whit
00:58:02with a pine and a hoe,
00:58:04the wind and the rain
00:58:07must make contemporary fortune fit
00:58:12through the rainy, rainy, rainy day.
00:58:18Sure.
00:58:22Come.
00:58:24Bring us to your hobble.
00:58:26Here is the place, my lord.
00:58:28Leave me alone.
00:58:29But, my lord, enter here.
00:58:30You will break my heart.
00:58:31I'd rather break mine own.
00:58:32But, my lord, enter here.
00:58:33Thou think'st tis much that this contentious storm
00:58:35invades us to the skin.
00:58:36So it is to thee.
00:58:38But where the greater malady is fixed,
00:58:40the lesser is scarce held.
00:58:42Thou shunn a bear,
00:58:43but if thy flag lay toward the roaring sea,
00:58:45thou'dst meet the bear in the mouth.
00:58:47When the mind's free, the body's delicate.
00:58:51This tempest in my mind,
00:58:54and from my senses take all feeling
00:58:56and say what beats there.
00:58:58Filial ingratitude.
00:59:00Is it not as this mouth would tear
00:59:01this hand for lifting hold to it?
00:59:03But I will punish home.
00:59:06No, I will weep no more.
00:59:10In such a light to shut me out.
00:59:14Pour on, I will endure.
00:59:18In such a light as this.
00:59:21Oh, Regan Connery.
00:59:23Your old kind father was Frank Hart Gable.
00:59:28That's where madness lies.
00:59:30Let me shut that.
00:59:31No more of that.
00:59:32Good my lord, enter here.
00:59:34Prithee, go in thyself.
00:59:37Seek thine own ease.
00:59:39This tempest will not give me leave
00:59:41to ponder on things which hurt me more.
00:59:44Then I'll go in.
00:59:47In.
00:59:50Why?
00:59:52Go first.
00:59:55Your house is poverty.
01:00:01May I get thee in?
01:00:07I'll pray.
01:00:12Then I'll sleep.
01:00:17Wicked wretches.
01:00:19Wheresoe'er you are,
01:00:21abide the pelting of this bitterest storm.
01:00:26How can your hearseless heads,
01:00:29your unfed sides,
01:00:32your looped and windowed rackets,
01:00:36defend you from seasons such as these?
01:00:41Ah.
01:00:44I'll have ten to little care of this.
01:00:48Take physic bump.
01:00:51Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel.
01:00:55The darmiest shake the superflux to them
01:00:58and show the heavens what just.
01:01:02Don't you come any nearer.
01:01:04It's the spirit. Help me.
01:01:05Give me a hand.
01:01:06Who's that?
01:01:07It's the spirit.
01:01:08It's the spirit.
01:01:09He says he's mad.
01:01:10Poor Tom.
01:01:12It's not thou that dost grumble there in the straw.
01:01:14Come forth.
01:01:15Away.
01:01:16The foul fiend follows me.
01:01:19The sharp hawthorn blows the wind.
01:01:21Get to thy bed and warm thee.
01:01:23Didst thou give all to thy daughters?
01:01:25And I come to this.
01:01:26Who gives anything to poor Tom,
01:01:28whom the foul fiend hath led through fire and through flame,
01:01:31through ford and whirlpool, or bog and pond,
01:01:34to play knight under his pillow,
01:01:37and halters in his pew,
01:01:38and wrecks pain in his porridge-straw.
01:01:40Bless thy five myths.
01:01:42Tom's a cold.
01:01:45Bless thee from whirlwinds, star-blasting, and fate.
01:01:50Poor Tom's a janity.
01:01:51And the foul fiend begs his death.
01:01:54Where could I have him now?
01:01:56And there again.
01:01:57And there again.
01:01:58Has his daughters brought him to this part?
01:02:00Couldst thou save nothing?
01:02:01Wouldst thou give them all?
01:02:02He reserved a blanket,
01:02:03hilted within all shame.
01:02:05Now all the plagues that in the pendulant air
01:02:07hang fated on men's faults, like on thy daughters.
01:02:09He hath no daughters.
01:02:10He's a death-traitor.
01:02:12Nothing could have subdued nature to such a lowness
01:02:14but his unkind daughters.
01:02:17Is it the fashion for discarded fathers
01:02:20to show thus little mercy on their flesh?
01:02:24Judicious punishment.
01:02:26It was this flesh that got those pelicans.
01:02:29Philagogue sat on Pelagogue hill.
01:02:31This cold night will turn us all to fools and madmen.
01:02:34Take heed of the foul fiend.
01:02:36Obey thy parents.
01:02:38Commit not with another man's sworn spouse.
01:02:40Set not thy sweet heart on proud array.
01:02:45What hast thou been?
01:02:48A serving man.
01:02:49Proud in heart and mind.
01:02:51That curled my hair and wore gloves in my cap.
01:02:53Served the lust of my mistress' heart
01:02:55and did the act of darkness with her.
01:02:57Wine loved I deeply, diced dearly.
01:02:59And in woman out paramoured the church.
01:03:01Keep thy foot out of brothels.
01:03:03Thy hand out of plackets.
01:03:04Thy pen out of lenders' books.
01:03:05And beware the foul fiend.
01:03:08Still through the wharf blows the sharp wind.
01:03:11Says soon one hame none on me.
01:03:17Don't fear my boy.
01:03:19Or he.
01:03:21Says I let him trot by.
01:03:27I were better in a grave than to answer
01:03:29with thy uncovered body this extremity of the skies.
01:03:35Is man no more than this?
01:03:38Consider him well.
01:03:41Thou o'st the worm, no silk.
01:03:43The beast, no hide.
01:03:45The sheep, no wolf.
01:03:46Say, the cat, no perfume.
01:03:48Yours three odds are sophisticated.
01:03:51Thou art the thing itself.
01:03:55An accommodated man
01:03:57is no more but such a poor,
01:04:00bare,
01:04:01forked animal
01:04:03as thou art.
01:04:07Off!
01:04:08Off, you lendings!
01:04:11Come, unbutton here!
01:04:13A pretty dance of me contented.
01:04:17It is a naughty night to swim in.
01:04:20A little fire in a wild field
01:04:21will I get old.
01:04:22Let you not.
01:04:23One small spark,
01:04:24the rest on body cold.
01:04:28Look,
01:04:29look, look!
01:04:30Look!
01:04:31Here comes a walking fire.
01:04:33Ah, this is the foul flippant gibbet.
01:04:35He begins at curfew
01:04:36and walks till the first cock.
01:04:37Mildews the white wheat
01:04:39and hurts the poor creature of earth.
01:04:41How fair's your grace.
01:04:42What's he?
01:04:44Who's there? What is't you see?
01:04:45Can I have their?
01:04:46Your name?
01:04:48Poor Tom,
01:04:49that in the fear of his heart
01:04:51when the foul fiend rages
01:04:52eats cow dung for salads.
01:04:54Ah, beware my father.
01:04:55Peace, smoke him.
01:04:56Peace, thou fiend.
01:04:58Oh, what is't your grace?
01:04:59No better company.
01:05:00The Prince of Darkness
01:05:01is a gentleman,
01:05:02Mordor he's called,
01:05:03and Mahu.
01:05:04Our flesh and blood, my lord,
01:05:05is grown so vile that it's a
01:05:06hate what gets it.
01:05:07Tom's a coward.
01:05:08Now, go in with me.
01:05:09My duty cannot suffer
01:05:10to obey in all your daughter's hard commands.
01:05:13Though their injunction be
01:05:14to bar my doors
01:05:15and let this tyrannous night
01:05:16take hold on you,
01:05:17yet I have ventured
01:05:18to come seek you out
01:05:19and bring you where
01:05:20both fire and food is ready.
01:05:22First let me talk
01:05:23with this philosopher.
01:05:28What is the cause of thunder?
01:05:31Good my lord,
01:05:32take his offer
01:05:33and go into my house.
01:05:34I'll talk a word
01:05:35with this same learned theban.
01:05:36What is your study?
01:05:39How to prevent the fiend
01:05:41and to kill them.
01:05:42Bah!
01:05:43Let me ask you
01:05:44one word in private.
01:05:47You've tortured him
01:05:48once more to go, my lord.
01:05:49His wits begin to uncertain.
01:05:51Canst thou blame him?
01:05:52His daughters seek his death.
01:05:54And since the king goes mad,
01:05:55I'll tell thee, friend,
01:05:56I'm almost mad myself.
01:05:57I had a son now
01:05:58I brought from my blood.
01:06:00He sought my life,
01:06:01but lately, very late,
01:06:02truth to tell,
01:06:03the grief has crazed my wits.
01:06:05Oh!
01:06:06What a night is this!
01:06:07Oh, I do beseech your grace.
01:06:08Your grace.
01:06:09Your mercy.
01:06:10Noble philosopher,
01:06:11your company.
01:06:12Ah, Tom Saccone.
01:06:13Ah.
01:06:14In fellow here,
01:06:15into the harbour.
01:06:16No, let's in.
01:06:17Let's in all.
01:06:18This way, my lord.
01:06:19Yeah, with him.
01:06:20I will keep still
01:06:21with my philosopher.
01:06:22Good my lord,
01:06:23suit him.
01:06:24Let him take the fellow.
01:06:25Take him you are.
01:06:26Good Athenian.
01:06:27Ah, no words.
01:06:28No words.
01:06:29Ah.
01:06:30Child,
01:06:31Roland,
01:06:32to the dark tower came.
01:06:33His word was still
01:06:34fiefo and fun.
01:06:35I smelled the blood
01:06:36of a British woman.
01:06:40I now perceive
01:06:41it was not altogether
01:06:42your brother's evil disposition
01:06:43made him seek his death,
01:06:44but
01:06:45a provoking merit
01:06:46set at work
01:06:47by a reprovable
01:06:48badness in himself.
01:06:49How malicious is my fortune
01:06:50that I must repent
01:06:51to be just.
01:06:52This is the letter
01:06:53he spoke of,
01:06:54which approves him
01:06:55as an intelligent party
01:06:56to the advantages of France.
01:06:58Go with me to the Duchess.
01:07:00If the matter of this paper
01:07:01be certain,
01:07:02you have mighty business in hand.
01:07:03True or false,
01:07:04it hath made thee
01:07:05Earl of Gloucester.
01:07:07Seek out where thy father is
01:07:09that he may be ready
01:07:10for our apprehension.
01:07:12If I find my father
01:07:13comforting the king,
01:07:14it will stuff his suspicion
01:07:15more fully.
01:07:16I will persevere
01:07:17in my course of loyalty
01:07:18that the conflict be saw
01:07:19between that and my blood.
01:07:21How will they trust upon me?
01:07:23And I shall find
01:07:24a dearer father
01:07:25in my love.
01:07:32The air is better
01:07:33than the open air.
01:07:34Take it thankfully.
01:07:41I will peace out the comfort
01:07:42with what addition I can.
01:07:43I will not be long from thee.
01:07:45All the power of his wits
01:07:46are given way to his impatience.
01:07:49God reward your kindness.
01:07:52Fataretto calls me.
01:07:54Tells me Nero
01:07:55is an angler
01:07:56in the lake of darkness.
01:07:59Pray, innocent,
01:08:00and beware the foul fiend.
01:08:01To thee, uncle,
01:08:02tell me
01:08:03if a madman
01:08:04be a yeoman
01:08:05or a gentleman.
01:08:07A king.
01:08:10A king.
01:08:13He is a yeoman
01:08:14that has a gentleman
01:08:15to his son,
01:08:16for he is a mad yeoman
01:08:17that sees his son,
01:08:18a gentleman,
01:08:19before him.
01:08:22To have a thousand
01:08:24with red burning spits
01:08:27come hissing in upon him.
01:08:29The foul fiend
01:08:30bites my back.
01:08:31He's mad to trust
01:08:32in the tameness of a wolf,
01:08:34a horse's health,
01:08:35a boy's love,
01:08:36or a whore's health.
01:08:42It shall be done.
01:08:44I will arraign them straight.
01:08:46Sit thou here,
01:08:47most learned justice,
01:08:48sapient sir,
01:08:49and sit here.
01:08:51Now,
01:08:52you she-foxes,
01:08:54look how he stands and stares.
01:08:56Monster eyes at trial, madam.
01:08:59Come o'er the board,
01:09:01Bessie,
01:09:02to me.
01:09:03Her boat hath a leak
01:09:04and she cannot speak.
01:09:05Why, she dare not
01:09:06come over to me.
01:09:07The foul fiend
01:09:08haunts poor Tom
01:09:09in the voice of a nightingale.
01:09:12Hoppy dance calls
01:09:13in my belly
01:09:14for two white herrings.
01:09:16The black angel
01:09:17hath no food for me.
01:09:18How do you say,
01:09:19will you lie down
01:09:20and rest upon the cushions?
01:09:21I'll see their trial first,
01:09:22bring in their evidence.
01:09:24Thou robed man of justice,
01:09:25take thy place.
01:09:26And thou,
01:09:27this yoke fellow of equity,
01:09:28benched by his side.
01:09:30Are you of the commission?
01:09:31Said you to.
01:09:32Let us deal justly.
01:09:33Arraign her first,
01:09:34Miss Goneril.
01:09:37I here take my oath
01:09:38before this honourable assembly
01:09:39she kick the poor king,
01:09:40her father.
01:09:41Cut me the mistress.
01:09:43Is your name Goneril?
01:09:44She cannot deny it.
01:09:45I cry in mercy
01:09:46I took you for a joint,
01:09:47still.
01:09:49There's another.
01:09:50Those warped looks
01:09:51proclaim what
01:09:52tore her heart
01:09:53is made of.
01:09:55Stop her there.
01:09:56Arms, arms,
01:09:57sword, fire,
01:09:58corruption in the place.
01:09:59False justice,
01:10:00a whitest of letters.
01:10:01Get less thy fine wits.
01:10:03Pity,
01:10:04sorrow.
01:10:05Where is the patience
01:10:06now that you so oft
01:10:07have boasted to retain?
01:10:08My tears begin to take
01:10:09his part so much
01:10:10they mar my counterfeiting.
01:10:15The little dogs and all.
01:10:17Trey, Blanche,
01:10:18and Sweetheart.
01:10:19You see,
01:10:20they bark at me.
01:10:21Tom,
01:10:22we'll throw his head at them.
01:10:24Avant, you curse.
01:10:26Then let them
01:10:27anatomize Regan.
01:10:28See what breeds
01:10:29a better heart.
01:10:34Is there any cause in nature
01:10:35that make these hard hearts?
01:10:39You, sir?
01:10:40I entertain
01:10:41for one of my hundred.
01:10:43I mean,
01:10:44I do not like the fashion
01:10:45of your garments.
01:10:46You say they're Persian,
01:10:47but let them be changed.
01:10:48Now, good my lord,
01:10:49lie here and rest a while.
01:10:58Well, make no noise.
01:10:59Make no noise.
01:11:00Draw the curtains.
01:11:05So long.
01:11:08So long.
01:11:13We'll go to supper
01:11:14in the morning.
01:11:17And I'll go to bed at noon.
01:11:19Where is the king, my worst?
01:11:20Here, sir.
01:11:21Trouble him not.
01:11:22His wits are gone.
01:11:23My pretty friend,
01:11:24take him in thy arms.
01:11:25I have overheard
01:11:26a plot of death upon him.
01:11:27There is a litter ready.
01:11:28Lay him in it
01:11:29and drive towards Dover, friend,
01:11:30where thou shalt find
01:11:31both welcome
01:11:32and protection.
01:11:33Impressive nature sleeps.
01:11:35This rest might yet
01:11:36have barmed
01:11:37thy broken sinews,
01:11:38which if convenience
01:11:39will not allow
01:11:40stand in hard queue.
01:11:43Come, help to bear thy master.
01:11:44Thou must not stay behind.
01:11:45Come, come away.
01:12:03When we are better seen
01:12:06bearing our woes,
01:12:09we scarcely think
01:12:10our miseries are fulfilled.
01:12:12We are alone, sir.
01:12:14Suffers most of the mind,
01:12:17leaving free things
01:12:18and happy shoulders behind.
01:12:22But we'll have more tonight
01:12:25and safe escape the king.
01:12:29Lurk!
01:12:32Lurk!
01:12:38Lurk!
01:12:43Lurk!
01:12:47Edmund,
01:12:49keep you our sister company.
01:12:51The revenges we are bound
01:12:52to take upon your traitorous father
01:12:53are not fit for your beholding.
01:12:56Though well we may not
01:12:57pass upon his life
01:12:58without some form of justice,
01:12:59yet
01:13:01our power shall do a curtsy
01:13:02to our wrath,
01:13:04which men may blame
01:13:05but not control.
01:13:10Who's there?
01:13:13The traitor.
01:13:15Ingrateful fox,
01:13:16tis he.
01:13:17Bind fast his corky arms.
01:13:19What means your graces?
01:13:21Good my friends,
01:13:22consider you are my guests.
01:13:24Do it no foul play.
01:13:26Bind him, I said.
01:13:28Hard!
01:13:30Hard!
01:13:31O filthy traitor!
01:13:33Merciful ladies you are,
01:13:34I none.
01:13:36To this chair, bind him.
01:13:37There's the marshal.
01:13:39By God,
01:13:40he's most ignobly done
01:13:41to pluck me by the beard.
01:13:43So white and such a traitor.
01:13:46O naughty lady,
01:13:48these hairs which thou dost
01:13:49ravish from my chin
01:13:50will quicken an accusedy.
01:13:52I am your host.
01:13:54With robbers' hands
01:13:55my hospitable favours
01:13:56you should not ruffle thus.
01:13:59What will you do?
01:14:00Come, sir.
01:14:03What letters had you
01:14:04late from France?
01:14:05The simple answer
01:14:06for we know the truth.
01:14:07And what confederacy
01:14:08had you with the traitors
01:14:09late-footed in the kingdom?
01:14:10To whose hands
01:14:11you've sent the donor
01:14:12to King speak.
01:14:14I have a letter
01:14:16guessingly set down
01:14:18which came from one
01:14:19that's of a neutral heart
01:14:20and not from one opposed.
01:14:24That's cunning.
01:14:25And false.
01:14:28Where have you sent the king?
01:14:30To...
01:14:32To Dover.
01:14:34Wherefore to Dover?
01:14:35Was there a...
01:14:36Wherefore to Dover?
01:14:37Let him answer that!
01:14:39I am tied to the stake.
01:14:40I must stand the course.
01:14:42Wherefore to Dover?
01:14:44Because I would not see
01:14:45thy cruel nails
01:14:47tuck out his poor old eyes
01:14:49nor thy fierce sister
01:14:50in his anointed flesh
01:14:51rash, boarish fangs.
01:14:54Oh, but I shall see
01:14:55the winged vengeance
01:14:56overtake such children.
01:14:59See it, shall thou never.
01:15:02Villain, hold that chair.
01:15:05Upon these eyes of thine
01:15:06I'll set my foot.
01:15:09Don't think to lift the leapy.
01:15:10Oh, give me some help.
01:15:20One side will mock another.
01:15:23T'other too.
01:15:25If you see vengeance...
01:15:26Hold thy hand, my lord.
01:15:28I have served you
01:15:29ever since I was a child.
01:15:31But better service
01:15:32have I never done you
01:15:33than now to bid you hold.
01:15:34How now, you dog!
01:15:35If you did grow a beard
01:15:36upon your face
01:15:37I would shake it
01:15:38on this quarrel.
01:15:39What do you mean?
01:15:40My villain.
01:15:41Nay then.
01:15:42Come on
01:15:43and take the chance of anger.
01:15:44Give me your sword.
01:15:46A peasant standeth thus.
01:15:57Slain.
01:15:59My lord,
01:16:01I have one eye left
01:16:02to see some mischief on him.
01:16:03Slain.
01:16:07Lest it seem more
01:16:08prevent it.
01:16:09Out, vile jelly.
01:16:14Where is thy luster now?
01:16:18Dark country.
01:16:21Where's my son,
01:16:22Edmund, Edmund?
01:16:24In kindle all the sparks
01:16:25of nature
01:16:26to quit this horrid act.
01:16:28Our treacherous villain.
01:16:29Thou caust upon him
01:16:30that hates thee.
01:16:31It was he that first
01:16:32made the overture
01:16:33of thy treasons to us
01:16:34who is too good to pity thee.
01:16:35Oh, my father.
01:16:37The late girl was abused.
01:16:40Oh, ye kind gods.
01:16:42Forgive me that
01:16:43and prosper him.
01:16:47Go, thrust him out the gate.
01:16:50Let him smell his way
01:16:51to Dover.
01:16:55And now, my lord,
01:16:56how look you?
01:16:57I have received the herd.
01:16:59Follow me, lady.
01:17:02Turn out that eyeless villain
01:17:03and throw this slave
01:17:04upon the dunghill.
01:17:08Regan, I bleed apace.
01:17:09Untimely comes this herd.
01:17:15Give me your arm.
01:17:21I'll never care
01:17:22what wickedness I do
01:17:23if this man come to good.
01:17:25Go thou.
01:17:27I'll fetch some flax
01:17:28and whites of eggs
01:17:29to apply to his bleeding face.
01:17:31Now, heaven help him.
01:17:37Yet better thus
01:17:38and known to be condemned
01:17:40and still condemned
01:17:41and flattened
01:17:43to be worst.
01:17:46The lowest and most dejected
01:17:47thing of fortune
01:17:48stands still in esperance,
01:17:50lives not in fear.
01:17:53The lamentable changes
01:17:54from the best,
01:17:56the worst returns to laughter.
01:17:59Welcome then,
01:18:00thou insubstantial heir
01:18:01that I embrace.
01:18:03The wretch that thou hast blown
01:18:04unto the worst
01:18:05owes nothing to thy blasts.
01:18:08Who comes here?
01:18:11My father, poorly led.
01:18:15World, world, oh, world.
01:18:18But that thy strange mutations
01:18:19make us hate thee,
01:18:20life would not yield to age.
01:18:25Bless thee, master.
01:18:27Is that a naked fellow?
01:18:29I'm lord.
01:18:31Tis poor mad Tom.
01:18:33A pretty good friend begone.
01:18:35I entreat him to lead me.
01:18:37You cannot see your way.
01:18:39I have no way.
01:18:40Therefore want no eyes.
01:18:42I stumbled when I saw.
01:18:45A laxer.
01:18:46He's mad.
01:18:48The times play
01:18:50when madmen lead the blind.
01:18:52Adios, I bid thee go.
01:18:53Adios, I bid thee go.
01:18:58Sirrah,
01:19:00naked fellow.
01:19:02Tom's a cold.
01:19:03I cannot daub it further.
01:19:06Come hither, fellow.
01:19:08Yet I must.
01:19:10Oh, bless thy sweet eyes, they bleed.
01:19:13Thou ist thou the way to Dover.
01:19:16Both style and gait,
01:19:18horseway and footpath.
01:19:20Bless thee, good Lord,
01:19:22son from the foul field.
01:19:25Oh, bless thee,
01:19:27son from the foul field.
01:19:29Oh, bless thee,
01:19:31son from the foul field.
01:19:33Oh, bless thee,
01:19:35son from the foul field.
01:19:37Oh, bless thee,
01:19:39son from the foul field.
01:19:40Five fiends have been in poor Tom at once,
01:19:42such as
01:19:44Hobbitycat of lust,
01:19:45Hobbitydance,
01:19:46Prince of Dumbness,
01:19:47Modo of murder,
01:19:48Mahou of stealing,
01:19:49Liberty Jupiter,
01:19:50Mopping and mowing.
01:19:51Oh, bless thee, master.
01:19:53Thou know'd over?
01:19:56Aye, master.
01:19:58There is a cliff.
01:20:00Thine unbending head
01:20:02looks fearfully in the confined deep.
01:20:04Bring me but to the very brink of it,
01:20:06and I'll relieve
01:20:07the misery thou dost bear
01:20:09with something rich about me.
01:20:11From that place
01:20:13I shall no leaving need.
01:20:20Give me thy arm,
01:20:23for Tom shall lead thee there.
01:20:33Welcome, my lord.
01:20:34I marvel our mild husband
01:20:36not met us on the way.
01:20:38Now, where's your master?
01:20:40Madam, within.
01:20:42But never man so changed.
01:20:44I told him of the army that had landed.
01:20:46He smiled at it.
01:20:48I told him you were coming.
01:20:50His answer was the worse.
01:20:52Of Gloucester's treachery
01:20:54and of the loyal service of his son
01:20:56when I informed him.
01:20:58Then he called me sot
01:21:00and told me I had turned the wrong side out.
01:21:02What most he should dislike
01:21:04pleasant to him.
01:21:06What like, offensive.
01:21:08Then shall you go no further.
01:21:11It is the cowish terror of his spirit
01:21:14that dares not undertake.
01:21:16He'll not feel wrongs
01:21:18which tie him to an answer.
01:21:20Then may our wishes on the way
01:21:22prove epics.
01:21:24Back, Edmund, to my brother.
01:21:26Hasten his musters
01:21:28and conduct his powers.
01:21:30I must change arms at home
01:21:32and give the distaff
01:21:34and a trusty servant
01:21:36shall pass between us.
01:21:38Ere long,
01:21:40you are like to hear
01:21:42if you dare venture
01:21:44in your own behalf
01:21:46a mistress's command.
01:21:48Wear this.
01:21:50Spare speech.
01:21:52Decline your head.
01:21:54This kiss, if it does speak,
01:21:56will stretch thy spirits
01:21:58up into the air.
01:22:01Conceive and fare you well.
01:22:02Yours in the ranks of death.
01:22:04My most dear Gloucester.
01:22:09O, the difference of man and man.
01:22:12To thee a woman's services are due.
01:22:16My fool usurps my body.
01:22:19Here comes my lord.
01:22:21I have been worth the whistle.
01:22:26Gonril, you're not worth the dust
01:22:29which the rude wind blows in your face.
01:22:31I fear your disposition.
01:22:34That nature
01:22:36which contends its origin
01:22:38cannot be borne
01:22:40certain in itself.
01:22:42She that herself will sliver
01:22:44and disprounce from her material sap
01:22:46perforce must wither
01:22:48and come to deadly use.
01:22:50No more.
01:22:52The text is foolish.
01:22:54Where's thy drum?
01:22:56France spreads his banners
01:22:58in our noiseless land
01:23:00and at Helm thy state begins to threat.
01:23:02Was thou a moral fool?
01:23:04Sit still and cries.
01:23:06Alack, why does he so?
01:23:08See thyself, devil.
01:23:10Proper deformity shows not in the fiend
01:23:12so horrid as in a woman.
01:23:14O, marry your manhood.
01:23:16Mew.
01:23:19What news?
01:23:21O, my good lord.
01:23:23The Duke of Cornwall's dead.
01:23:25Slain by his servant.
01:23:27Going to put out the other eye of Gloucester.
01:23:29Gloucester's eyes?
01:23:31This letter, madam, craves a speedy answer.
01:23:34It is from your sister.
01:23:36One way I like this well.
01:23:38She being widow and I Gloucester with her.
01:23:40May all the building in my fancy
01:23:42pluck upon my hateful life.
01:23:44Another way the news is not so tard.
01:23:46I read an answer.
01:23:49Where was his son
01:23:51when they did take his eyes?
01:23:53Come with my lady hither.
01:23:55He's not here?
01:23:56No, my good lord, I met him back again.
01:23:58Knows he this wickedness?
01:24:00My good lord, was he informed against him?
01:24:02And quit the house on purpose
01:24:04that their punishment might have the freer cause?
01:24:06Gloucester,
01:24:08I live to thank thee for the love thou show'st the king
01:24:11and to revenge thine eyes.
01:24:14Come hither, friend.
01:24:16Tell me more what thou know'st.
01:24:18But are my brother's powers set forth?
01:24:20Aye, madam.
01:24:22Himself in person there?
01:24:24Madam, with much ado.
01:24:26Is my lady not at home?
01:24:28No, madam.
01:24:30Why should she write to Edmund?
01:24:32Might not you transport her purposes by word?
01:24:36I know my sister does not love her husband,
01:24:38of that I'm certain.
01:24:40And at her late being here
01:24:42she gave strange oyards
01:24:44and most speaking looks to noble Edmund.
01:24:46I know you're of her bosom.
01:24:48Aye, madam.
01:24:50I speak in understanding.
01:24:52You are, I know it.
01:24:54My lord is dead.
01:24:56Lord Edmund and I have talked
01:24:58and more convenient is he for my hand
01:25:00than for your lady's.
01:25:02So fare you well.
01:25:04If you do chance to hear of that blind traitor,
01:25:07preferment falls on him that cuts him off.
01:25:10Would that I could meet him, madam.
01:25:12I would show what party I do follow.
01:25:14Fare you well.
01:25:20When shall we drink?
01:25:22When shall we come to the top of that same hill?
01:25:25We'll climb up it now.
01:25:27Look how we labour.
01:25:29He thinks the ground is evil.
01:25:31Horrible steep.
01:25:33Hark, do you hear the sea?
01:25:35No, truly.
01:25:37Why then your other senses go imperfect
01:25:39by your eyes' anguish.
01:25:41So may it be indeed.
01:25:45He thinks thy voice is altered
01:25:47and thou speak'st in better phrase and matter than thou didst.
01:25:49You are much deceived.
01:25:51In nothing am I changed but in my garments.
01:25:54He thinks thou art better spoke.
01:25:56Come on, sir.
01:26:02Here is the place.
01:26:04Stand still.
01:26:13How fearful it is to cast one's eyes so low.
01:26:18The crows and the shuttles that wing the midway air
01:26:21seem scarce so gross as beetles.
01:26:25Halfway down hangs one that gathers some for dreadful trade.
01:26:29He thinks he seems no bigger than his head.
01:26:33The fishermen that walk upon the beach
01:26:35appear like mice.
01:26:37And yon tall anchoring bark
01:26:40diminished to her cock.
01:26:43Her cock, her boy,
01:26:44almost too small for sight.
01:26:47The murmuring surge
01:26:49that on the unnumbered idle pebbles chafes
01:26:53cannot be heard so high.
01:26:56I look no more
01:26:58as my brain turn
01:27:00and the deficient sight topple down headlong.
01:27:03Zip it where you stand.
01:27:06Give me your arm.
01:27:08Ah!
01:27:10Now within a foot of the extreme
01:27:12for all beneath the moon
01:27:14would not I leap upright.
01:27:17Let go my hand.
01:27:22Go further off.
01:27:25Bid me farewell
01:27:27and let me hear thee going.
01:27:30Now fare thee well, good sir.
01:27:34Oh, my heart,
01:27:36why I do try to lust for this despair is done to cure it.
01:27:38Oh, ye mighty gods,
01:27:40this world I do renounce
01:27:42and in thy sight shake patiently
01:27:44my great affliction of.
01:27:46If
01:27:48it goes in.
01:27:50Oh, bless him.
01:27:53Now fellow,
01:27:55fare thee well, sir.
01:27:58Farewell.
01:28:03And yet I know not how
01:28:05and yet I know not how it can see.
01:28:08May rob the treasury of life.
01:28:10Life itself yields to the theft.
01:28:14Had he been where he thought
01:28:16by this had thought been past.
01:28:20Alive
01:28:22or dead.
01:28:28Oh, you, sir,
01:28:30friend,
01:28:32here you are.
01:28:34Hear you, sir.
01:28:36Speak.
01:28:38Thus might he pass indeed.
01:28:40Yet he revives.
01:28:43What are you, sir?
01:28:49Why,
01:28:51let me die.
01:28:53Hadst thou been aught but gossip,
01:28:55feathers, air,
01:28:57so many fathomed down, precipitating,
01:28:59thou'dst shiver it like an egg.
01:29:02But thou dost breathe
01:29:04the last heavy substance.
01:29:06Bleeds not,
01:29:08speaks
01:29:10but sound.
01:29:12Thy life's a miracle.
01:29:15Speak yet again.
01:29:18But have I fallen or no?
01:29:21From the dread summit of young Chalky-Bourne
01:29:23look up a height.
01:29:25The shrill, gorged lark so far
01:29:27cannot be seen or heard.
01:29:29Do but look up.
01:29:31I have no eyes.
01:29:33Is wretchedness deprived
01:29:35that benefit to end itself
01:29:37by death?
01:29:39Give me your arm.
01:29:41Up.
01:29:44So,
01:29:46how is't?
01:29:48Feel you your legs?
01:29:50You stand.
01:29:52Too well, too well.
01:29:54Henceforth I'll bear affliction
01:29:56till it do cry out itself
01:29:58enough, enough, and die.
01:30:00Bear free and patient thought.
01:30:03No.
01:30:05They cannot touch me for coining.
01:30:07I am the king himself.
01:30:09Sight piercing sight.
01:30:11Nature's above art in that respect.
01:30:13There's your press money.
01:30:15The fellow handles his bow like a crow-keeper.
01:30:17Draw me a clothier's yard.
01:30:19Look.
01:30:21A mouse.
01:30:23Piece, piece.
01:30:25This piece of toasted cheese will do it.
01:30:28There's my gauntlet.
01:30:30I'll prove it on the giant.
01:30:32I'm Bill's.
01:30:34Ooh.
01:30:36Well-flown bird.
01:30:38Either clout, either clout.
01:30:40Give the word.
01:30:42Sweet Marjoram.
01:30:44Pass.
01:30:46I know that voice.
01:30:48Goneril with a white beard.
01:30:50I do well remember.
01:30:52He's not the king.
01:30:54I?
01:30:56Every inch a king
01:30:58when I do stare
01:31:00and see how the subject quakes.
01:31:02What was thy cause?
01:31:04Adultery?
01:31:06I shall not die.
01:31:08Die for adultery?
01:31:10The wren goes to,
01:31:12to the small gilded fly
01:31:14that's lecher in my sight.
01:31:16Let copulation thrive!
01:31:18Gloucester's bastard son
01:31:20was kinder to his father
01:31:22than my daughter's got
01:31:24between the lawful sheets.
01:31:26To it, luxury!
01:31:28I lack soldiers.
01:31:29Behold yon simpering game
01:31:31whose face between her forks
01:31:33presages snow
01:31:35that minces virtue
01:31:37and has shaked the head
01:31:39to hear of pleasure's name.
01:31:41The fitchoon or the soiled horse
01:31:43goes to it for the more riotous appetite.
01:31:45Down from the waist there
01:31:47centaurs, though women all above.
01:31:49But to the girdle do the gods inherit.
01:31:51Beneath is all the fiends.
01:31:53There's hell. There's darkness.
01:31:55There is the sulphurous pit
01:31:57burning scalding
01:31:59and I'm to die.
01:32:04Give me an ounce of civic good apothecary.
01:32:06Sweeten my imagination.
01:32:08There's money for it.
01:32:10Let me kiss that hand.
01:32:12No, let me wipe it first.
01:32:14It smells of mortality.
01:32:18The great peace of nature.
01:32:20This great world shall so wear out itself
01:32:22to naught.
01:32:24Dost thou know me?
01:32:26I remember thine eyes well enough.
01:32:27What?
01:32:29Dost squinny at me?
01:32:31Do thy worst, blind Cupid.
01:32:33I'll not love.
01:32:37Read thou this challenge.
01:32:39Mark but the penning of it.
01:32:41O, my little sons, I could not see.
01:32:43I would not take this at report.
01:32:45It is as my heart breaks.
01:32:47Read?
01:32:49What, with a case of eyes?
01:32:51Oh, you're there with me.
01:32:53No eyes in your head,
01:32:55no money in your purse.
01:32:57Thou may see how this world goes.
01:32:59I see it, feeling it.
01:33:01What, art mad?
01:33:03Thou may see how this world goes with no eyes.
01:33:05Look with thine ears.
01:33:07See how yon justice rails on yon simple thief.
01:33:11Hark in thine ear.
01:33:13Change places and handy dandy
01:33:15which is the justice, which the thief.
01:33:17Thou seen a farmer's dog,
01:33:19bark at a beggar,
01:33:21and the creature run from the cur.
01:33:23There thou mightst behold
01:33:25the great image of authority
01:33:27made in office.
01:33:29Thou rascal beetle,
01:33:31hold thy bloody hand.
01:33:33Why dost thou lash that whore?
01:33:35Strip thine own back.
01:33:37Thou hotly hast to use her
01:33:39in that kind for which thou quipst her.
01:33:41The usurer hangs the cousin up.
01:33:45Through tattered clothes
01:33:47small vices do appear,
01:33:49robes and furred gowns hide all.
01:33:52Plates in with gold,
01:33:54the strong lance of justice
01:33:55hurtless breaks.
01:33:57Arm it in rags,
01:33:59a pygmy's straw does pierce it.
01:34:01None does offend.
01:34:03None, I say, none.
01:34:05I label them.
01:34:07Take that of me, my friend,
01:34:09who hath the power to seal the accuser's lips.
01:34:14Get thee glass eyes,
01:34:16and like a scurvy politician
01:34:18seem to see the things thou dost not.
01:34:21No, no, no, no.
01:34:23Pull off my boots.
01:34:26Harder, harder.
01:34:29Matter and impertinency
01:34:31mixed reason and manner.
01:34:33So, so, so.
01:34:38If thou wilt weep my fortune,
01:34:40take my eyes.
01:34:42I know thee well enough,
01:34:44thy name is Gloucester.
01:34:46Thou must be patient.
01:34:48We came crying hither.
01:34:50Thou know'st that when we first do smell the air
01:34:52we wall and cry.
01:34:53I will preach to thee.
01:34:55Mark.
01:34:58When we are born,
01:35:00we cry
01:35:02that we are come
01:35:04to this great stage of fools.
01:35:10This is a good block.
01:35:16It were a delicate stratagem
01:35:20to shoe a troop of horse
01:35:23with felt.
01:35:25I'll put it in proof.
01:35:28When I've stolen upon these son-in-laws,
01:35:31kill, kill, kill, kill.
01:35:35Here he is, lay hands upon him, sir,
01:35:37your most dear daughter.
01:35:39No rescue. What, a prisoner?
01:35:41I am even the most natural fool of fortune.
01:35:45Use me well,
01:35:47you shall have ransom.
01:35:54Let me have surgeons,
01:35:58and cut to the brain.
01:36:00You shall have anything.
01:36:03No seconds?
01:36:05All myself?
01:36:07Why, this would make a man a man of salt.
01:36:10Use his eyes as garden water pots,
01:36:12I am laying autumn's dust.
01:36:16I will die bravely,
01:36:18like a smug bridegroom.
01:36:20What? I will be jovial.
01:36:21I will be jovial.
01:36:25Come, come.
01:36:27I am a king, masters.
01:36:31Know you that?
01:36:33You are a royal one, and we obey you.
01:36:38Then there's life in it.
01:36:41Come, man, you get it?
01:36:43You'll get it by running.
01:36:45A sight most pitiful in the meanest wretch,
01:36:48hard speaking of in a king.
01:36:50Thou hast one daughter who redeems nature
01:36:52from the general curse
01:36:54which twain hath brought her to.
01:36:56Hail, gentle sir.
01:36:58Speech you, sir, what you will.
01:37:00Dost thou hear aught of a battle-tort?
01:37:02Most sure and vulgar.
01:37:04Everyone hears that which can distinguish sound.
01:37:06But by your favour, how near is the other army?
01:37:08Near, and on speedy foot.
01:37:10The main descry hangs on the hourly thought.
01:37:12I thank you, sir, that's all.
01:37:14Though that the queen on special cause is here,
01:37:16her army is moved on.
01:37:17I thank you, sir.
01:37:19Whoever gentle gods,
01:37:21take my breath from me.
01:37:23Let not my worstest spirit
01:37:25tempt me again to die
01:37:27before you please.
01:37:29Well, pray you, father.
01:37:31Now, sir,
01:37:33what are you?
01:37:36A most poor man,
01:37:38made tame to fortune's blows.
01:37:41And by the art of knowing and feeling sorrow,
01:37:43I'm pregnant to good pity.
01:37:47Give me your arm.
01:37:49I'll lead you to some biting.
01:37:51No, no, no further.
01:37:53A man may rot even here.
01:37:56Rot? In ill thoughts again?
01:37:59Men must endure their going-hith,
01:38:02even as their coming-hither.
01:38:04Viperness is all.
01:38:07Come on.
01:38:09That's true too.
01:38:18O thou good Kent,
01:38:20how shall I live and work
01:38:22to match thy goodness?
01:38:24My life will be too short
01:38:26and every measure fail me.
01:38:28To be acknowledged, madam,
01:38:30is all paid.
01:38:32All my reports
01:38:34go with the modest truth.
01:38:36No more, not clipped, but so.
01:38:38Be better suited.
01:38:40These weeds are memories
01:38:42of those worse hours.
01:38:44I prithee, put them off.
01:38:45It shortens my made intent.
01:38:47My boon I make it
01:38:49that you know me not
01:38:51till time and I think meet.
01:38:53Indeed so, my good lord.
01:38:55How does the king?
01:38:57Madam,
01:38:59sleep still.
01:39:01O you kind gods,
01:39:03cure this great breach
01:39:05in his abusive nature.
01:39:07The untuned and jarring senses
01:39:09o'erwind out
01:39:11of this child-changing father.
01:39:13Pray him, draw near.
01:39:16O my dear father,
01:39:18restoration,
01:39:20hang thy medicine on my lips
01:39:22and let this kiss
01:39:24repair those violent arms
01:39:26that my two sisters
01:39:28have in thy reverence made.
01:39:31Kind and dear princess.
01:39:37Had you not been there, father,
01:39:39these weeds
01:39:41would have been
01:39:42had you not been there, father,
01:39:44these white flakes
01:39:46to challenge pity on them.
01:39:49Was this a face to be opposed
01:39:51against the warring winds?
01:39:54To stand against
01:39:56the deep-dreaded bolted thunder
01:39:58and the most terrible
01:40:00and nimble stroke
01:40:02of quick cross-like movement?
01:40:04To watch
01:40:06poor Purdue
01:40:09with this thin helm
01:40:11an enemy's dog,
01:40:13though he had bit me,
01:40:15should have stood
01:40:17that night against my fire.
01:40:19Was thou fain, poor father,
01:40:21to hovel thee
01:40:23with swine and rogues
01:40:25forlorn in short
01:40:27and musty straw?
01:40:29Alack,
01:40:31alack,
01:40:33tis wonder that thy life
01:40:35and wits at once
01:40:37had not concluded all.
01:40:38He wakes. Speak to him.
01:40:40Madam, do you?
01:40:42Tis fittest.
01:40:45How does my royal lord?
01:40:48How fares your majesty?
01:40:55Do me a honour.
01:40:58Take me out of the grave.
01:41:03The heart is whole in bliss.
01:41:08I am bound upon a wheel of fire
01:41:12and mine own tears do scald
01:41:15like molten lead.
01:41:17Sir, do you know me?
01:41:20You are a spirit, I know.
01:41:24Where did you die?
01:41:26Stand still.
01:41:28He's scarce awake.
01:41:30Let him alone a while.
01:41:33Where have I been?
01:41:36Where am I?
01:41:39Fair daylight.
01:41:42I'm mightily abused.
01:41:45I should even die of pity
01:41:47to see another that.
01:41:54I know not what to say.
01:41:57I will not swear.
01:41:59These are my hands.
01:42:01Let's see.
01:42:04Feel a pinprick.
01:42:08Were I were assured of my condition.
01:42:11Look upon me, sir,
01:42:13and hold your hand in benediction on me.
01:42:21No, sir, you must not kneel.
01:42:28Pray do not mock me.
01:42:30I am a very foolish, fond old man
01:42:32forscore an upper.
01:42:35Not an hour more, no less.
01:42:38And to deal plainly
01:42:41I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
01:42:46Methinks I should know you
01:42:50and know this man.
01:42:55Yet I am doubtful
01:42:57for I am mainly ignorant what place this is.
01:43:02All the strength I have
01:43:04remembers not these garments
01:43:06nor I know not where I did lodge last night.
01:43:14Do not laugh at me
01:43:18but as I am a man
01:43:23I think this lady
01:43:27to be my child Cordelia
01:43:29to be my child Cordelia
01:43:34be your tears wet.
01:43:40Faith,
01:43:43I pray weep not.
01:43:45If you have poison for me I will drink it.
01:43:48I know you do not love me.
01:43:51Your sisters have
01:43:54as I remember
01:43:56done me wrong
01:43:59you have some cause
01:44:01they have not.
01:44:03Am I in France?
01:44:05In your own kingdom, sir.
01:44:06Do not abuse me.
01:44:08Be comforted, good madam.
01:44:10The great rage you see is killed in him
01:44:14yet it is danger to make him even know
01:44:16the time he has lost.
01:44:18Desire him to go in.
01:44:20Trouble him no more till further send me.
01:44:29Will you please your highness walk?
01:44:35You must bear with me
01:44:41and pray you
01:44:44forget and forgive.
01:44:49I am old and foolish.
01:44:55If, e'er your grace's will,
01:44:57if, e'er your grace had speech with man so poor
01:44:59hear me one word.
01:45:01Speak.
01:45:03When you fight the battle,
01:45:04oath this letter.
01:45:06If you have a victory,
01:45:07let the trumpet sound for him that brought it.
01:45:09Wretched though I seem,
01:45:10I can produce a champion
01:45:11who will prove what is about you there.
01:45:13If you miscarry,
01:45:14your business of the world
01:45:15hath so an end
01:45:16and machination ceases.
01:45:17Fortune love you.
01:45:18Stay
01:45:19till I have delivered the letter.
01:45:20I was forbidden, sir.
01:45:22When time shall serve,
01:45:23let the herald cry
01:45:24and I'll appear again.
01:45:26Why, fare you well.
01:45:28May we all look thine.
01:45:29Thank you.
01:45:36Some officers take them away.
01:45:37Good guard
01:45:38until their greater pleasures
01:45:39first be known
01:45:40that are to censure them.
01:45:41We are not the first
01:45:42who with best meaning
01:45:43have incurred the worst.
01:45:45For thee, oppressive king,
01:45:46I am cast down.
01:45:48Myself could else out frown
01:45:49false fortunes frown.
01:45:52Shall we not see
01:45:53these daughters and these sisters?
01:45:54No, no, no, no.
01:45:55Come, let's away to prison.
01:45:58We two alone
01:45:59will sing like birds in a cage.
01:46:02When thou dost ask me blessing,
01:46:03I'll kneel down
01:46:04and ask of thee forgiveness.
01:46:06And so we'll live
01:46:07and pray and sing
01:46:08and tell old tales
01:46:09and laugh at gilded butterflies
01:46:12and hear poor rogues
01:46:13talk of court news
01:46:15and we'll talk with them too
01:46:16who loses and who wins,
01:46:18who's in, who's out
01:46:21and take upon us
01:46:22the mystery of things
01:46:23as if we were God's spies.
01:46:26And we'll wear out
01:46:27in a walled prison
01:46:28packs and sects
01:46:29of the great ones
01:46:30that ebb and flow by the moon.
01:46:31Take them away.
01:46:32Upon such sacrifices,
01:46:33my Cordelia,
01:46:35the gods themselves
01:46:36throw incest.
01:46:38Have I caught thee?
01:46:41He that parts us
01:46:43shall bring a brand
01:46:44from heaven
01:46:46and fire us hence
01:46:47like fox tears.
01:46:50Wipe thine eyes.
01:46:53The good years
01:46:54shall devour them
01:46:55flesh and fell.
01:46:56They shall make us weep.
01:46:59We'll see them starved first.
01:47:03Come.
01:47:05Come hither, Captain.
01:47:06Hark!
01:47:07Take thou this letter.
01:47:08Go, follow them to prison.
01:47:09One step I have advanced thee.
01:47:11If thou dost as this
01:47:12instructs thee,
01:47:13thou dost make thy way
01:47:14to noble fortune.
01:47:15Thy great employment
01:47:16will not bear question.
01:47:17Either say thou'll do it
01:47:18or thrive by other means.
01:47:20I'll do it, my lord.
01:47:21About it,
01:47:22and write happy
01:47:23to come.
01:47:24Mark, I say instantly,
01:47:25and carry it so
01:47:26as I've set it down.
01:47:27I cannot draw a cart
01:47:28nor eat dried oats.
01:47:30If it be man's work,
01:47:32I'll do it.
01:47:37Sir!
01:47:39You have shown today
01:47:40your valiant strain
01:47:42and fortune led you well.
01:47:44You have the captives
01:47:46which are the opposites
01:47:47of this day's strife.
01:47:49We do require them of you.
01:47:50Sir, I thought it fit
01:47:51to send the old and miserable king
01:47:52to some retention
01:47:53and appointed guard.
01:47:54With him I sent the queen.
01:47:55My reason's all the same.
01:47:56And they are ready
01:47:57tomorrow
01:47:58or at some further space
01:47:59to appear.
01:48:00You shall hold your session.
01:48:01Sir, by your patience,
01:48:02I hold you but a subject
01:48:03of this war,
01:48:04not as a brother.
01:48:06Edmund,
01:48:07I rest thee
01:48:08on capital treason.
01:48:10And in thine attaint
01:48:13this gilded serpent.
01:48:16Lost art thou at arm,
01:48:18let the trumpet sound.
01:48:20If none appear
01:48:21to prove upon thy person
01:48:23thy heinous manifest
01:48:25and many treasons,
01:48:28there is my pledge.
01:48:30Sick!
01:48:32Oh, sick!
01:48:33If not,
01:48:34I'll ne'er trust medicine.
01:48:36There's my exchange.
01:48:38What in the world he is
01:48:40that names me traitor,
01:48:41villain like he lies,
01:48:42called by the trumpet.
01:48:44He that dares approach on him,
01:48:45on you, who not?
01:48:46I will maintain my truth
01:48:47and honour firmly.
01:48:48My sickness grows upon me.
01:48:50If she's not well,
01:48:51convey her to my tent.
01:48:53Come hither, Harold.
01:48:55Let the trumpet sound
01:48:57and read out this.
01:48:59Sound trumpet.
01:49:04If any man of quality
01:49:05or degree
01:49:07within the lists of the army
01:49:09will maintain upon Edmund,
01:49:11supposed Earl of Gloucester,
01:49:13that he is a manifold traitor,
01:49:15let him appear
01:49:17by the third sound
01:49:18of the trumpet.
01:49:22He is bold in his defence.
01:49:25Sound.
01:49:29Again.
01:49:32Again.
01:49:45Ask him his purposes
01:49:46why he appears
01:49:48upon this call of the trumpet.
01:49:50What are you?
01:49:51Your name?
01:49:52Your quality?
01:49:54And why you answer
01:49:55this present summons?
01:49:56No, my name is lost.
01:49:58By treason's tooth
01:49:59bear norn and canker bit.
01:50:01Yet am I noble
01:50:02as the adversary I come to cope.
01:50:04Which is that adversary?
01:50:06What's he that speaks
01:50:07for Edmund, Earl of Gloucester?
01:50:09Himself?
01:50:10What says thou to him?
01:50:11Draw thy sword.
01:50:13That if my speech
01:50:14offend a noble heart,
01:50:15thy arm may do thee justice.
01:50:17Thou art a traitor,
01:50:19false to thy gods,
01:50:21thy brother and thy father,
01:50:23conspirant against
01:50:24this high illustrious prince,
01:50:25and from the extreme upward
01:50:26of thy head
01:50:27to the descent and dust
01:50:28below thy foot,
01:50:30a most toad-spotted traitor.
01:50:32Say thou no.
01:50:34This sword, this arm,
01:50:35and my best spirits
01:50:36are meant to prove
01:50:37against thy heart.
01:50:38Where to I speak?
01:50:39Thou liest.
01:50:41Back do I toss
01:50:42these treasons to thy head.
01:50:43For the hell-hated liar
01:50:44whelm thy heart.
01:50:45This sword of mine
01:50:46shall give them instant way
01:50:47where they shall rest for ever.
01:50:48Trumpets, speak!
01:50:57No!
01:51:00Oh, no!
01:51:01Save him.
01:51:03This was practice, Gloucester.
01:51:04In the laws of war
01:51:05thou was not bound
01:51:06to answer an unknown opposite.
01:51:08Thou art not vanquished,
01:51:09but cousined and beguiled.
01:51:11Shut your mouth, dear.
01:51:14For with this paper
01:51:16I shall stop it.
01:51:19Thou, worse than any name,
01:51:21read thine own evil.
01:51:23No tearing, lady.
01:51:25I perceive you know it.
01:51:27Say if I do,
01:51:28the laws are mine
01:51:29and not thine.
01:51:31Who can arraign me for it?
01:51:32Oh, monstrous.
01:51:34Knowst thou this paper?
01:51:37Ask me not what I know.
01:51:44Go after her.
01:51:46She is desperate.
01:51:47Govern her.
01:51:48What you have charged me with,
01:51:49that have I done,
01:51:50and more, much more.
01:51:52The time will bring it out.
01:51:54It is past, and so am I.
01:51:56But what art thou
01:51:57that hast this fortune on me?
01:51:59If thou art noble,
01:52:00I do forgive thee.
01:52:01Let us exchange charity.
01:52:03I am no less in blood
01:52:04than thou art, Edmund.
01:52:06If more were more,
01:52:07thou hast wronged me.
01:52:10My name is Edgar,
01:52:12and thy father's son.
01:52:14The gods are just,
01:52:15and if our pleasant vices
01:52:16make instruments to plague us,
01:52:18the dark and vicious place
01:52:19where thee he got
01:52:20costs him his eyes.
01:52:22Now spoken right is true.
01:52:24The wheel is come full circle.
01:52:26I am here.
01:52:28Methought thy very gait
01:52:29did prophesy a royal loneliness.
01:52:31I must embrace thee.
01:52:33Let sorrow split my heart
01:52:35if ever I did hate thee
01:52:36or thy father.
01:52:37Help!
01:52:38Help!
01:52:41Speak, man.
01:52:42Speak, man.
01:52:44She's dead.
01:52:46Who dead?
01:52:47Speak, man.
01:52:49Your lady, sir, your lady.
01:52:51And her sister by her
01:52:52is poisoned, she confesseth.
01:52:54I must contract it to them both.
01:52:56All three now marry in an instant.
01:52:58This judgment of the heavens
01:52:59which makes us tremble
01:53:01touches us not with pity.
01:53:03Here comes Kent.
01:53:05I am come to bid my king
01:53:06and master I good night.
01:53:08Is he not here?
01:53:09Great thing of us forgot.
01:53:11Speak it.
01:53:12And where's the king?
01:53:13And where's Cordelia?
01:53:14A pant for life.
01:53:16Some good I mean to do
01:53:17in spite of my known nature.
01:53:19Quickly send.
01:53:20Be brief in it to the castle
01:53:22for my writ is on the life
01:53:23of Leah and of Cordelia.
01:53:25Nay, send in time.
01:53:27Hasty for thy life.
01:53:33You are made of stones
01:53:36and I your tongues and eyes.
01:53:40I'd use them so that
01:53:41heaven's vaults should crack.
01:53:49She's gone forever.
01:53:54I know when one is dead
01:53:55and when one lives.
01:53:58She's dead as earth.
01:54:01Lend me a looking glass.
01:54:03If that her breath should mist
01:54:04or stain the stone
01:54:05and then she lives.
01:54:07Is this the promised end
01:54:08or image of that horror?
01:54:10I don't see.
01:54:11This fetter stirs.
01:54:12She lives.
01:54:14If it be so
01:54:15it is a chance which doth
01:54:16redeem all sorrows
01:54:17that ever I have felt.
01:54:18Oh my good master
01:54:19and pithy away.
01:54:20Tis noble Kent, your friend.
01:54:22A plague upon you
01:54:23murderers, traitors all.
01:54:24I might have saved her
01:54:26but now she's gone forever.
01:54:29Cordelia.
01:54:31Cordelia.
01:54:33Stay a little.
01:54:36What is thou said?
01:54:41Her voice was ever soft.
01:54:43Gentle and low.
01:54:44An excellent thinking woman.
01:54:47I killed a slave
01:54:48that was a hanging bee.
01:54:49Tis true, my lords.
01:54:50He did.
01:54:51Did I not, fellow?
01:54:52Had I known the day
01:54:53with my good biking fortune
01:54:54I would have made him skip.
01:54:57I'm old now.
01:55:00These
01:55:02same crosses
01:55:03spoil me.
01:55:05Poor you.
01:55:07Mine eyes are not of the best.
01:55:08I'll tell you straight.
01:55:10The fortune brag
01:55:11of two she loved and hated.
01:55:13One of them we behold.
01:55:16She's a dull sight.
01:55:18Are you not, Kent?
01:55:21Same your servant, Kent.
01:55:23Where is your servant, Gaius?
01:55:25He's a good fellow.
01:55:27I'll tell you straight.
01:55:28He'll strike.
01:55:29And quickly too.
01:55:32He's dead and rotten.
01:55:34No, my good lord.
01:55:36I am the very man.
01:55:37I'll see that straight.
01:55:39But from your first
01:55:40of difference and decay
01:55:41have followed your sad steps.
01:55:43You're welcome, heller.
01:55:44Or no man else.
01:55:47All's cheerless, dark and dead.
01:55:50Your eldest daughters
01:55:51have foredone themselves
01:55:53and dreadfully are dead.
01:55:54Yeah, so I think.
01:55:56He knows not what he says.
01:55:58And vain is it
01:55:59that we present us to him.
01:56:01Edmund is dead, my lord.
01:56:04That's but a trifle, here.
01:56:08And my poor fool is hanged.
01:56:19No.
01:56:21No.
01:56:22No life.
01:56:25Why should a horse,
01:56:27a dog, a rat have life?
01:56:30And thou no breath at all.
01:56:34Thou'lt come no more.
01:56:35Thou'lt come no more.
01:56:38Never.
01:56:41Never.
01:56:46Never.
01:56:48Ever.
01:56:51Ever.
01:56:54Ever.
01:56:55And do this.
01:56:59Thank you, sir.
01:57:02Look on her!
01:57:06Look her lips!
01:57:08Look her!
01:57:10Look her!
01:57:12He faints.
01:57:13My lord!
01:57:14My lord!
01:57:15Break heart, I prithee, break!
01:57:17But look up, my lord.
01:57:19Beg's not his ghost.
01:57:21We'll let him pass.
01:57:23He hates him that would,
01:57:24upon the rack of his tough world,
01:57:25stretch him out longer.
01:57:30He is gone, indeed.
01:57:33The wonder is,
01:57:34he would so long.
01:57:36He but usurped his life.
01:57:39Bear them from hence.
01:57:42Our present business is general woe.
01:57:46Friends of my soul,
01:57:47you twain rule in this realm,
01:57:50and the god states sustain.
01:57:52I have a journey, sir, shortly to go.
01:57:55My master calls me.
01:57:56I must not say no.
01:57:58The weight of this sad time,
01:58:01we must obey.
01:58:04Look what we feel,
01:58:06not what we ought to say.
01:58:10The eldest hath borne most.
01:58:14We that are young
01:58:15shall never see so much,
01:58:19nor live so long.
01:59:34THE END
