I now perceive it was not altogether your brother's evil disposition made him seek his death, but a provoking merit, set a work by a reprovable badness in himself. How malicious is my fortune, that I must repent to be just? this is the letter he spoke of, which approves him an intelligent party to the advantages of France, O heavens that his treason were, or not I the detecter. Go with me to the Dutches. If the matter of this paper be certain, you have mighty business in hand. True or false, it hath made thee Earl of Gloster, seek out where thy father is, that he may be ready for our apprehension. If I find him comforting the King, it will stuff his suspicion more fully, I will persevere in my course of loyalty, though the conflict be sore between that and my blood. I will lay trust upon thee, and thou shalt find a dearer father in my love. Here is better than the open air, take it thankfully, I will piece out the comfort with what addition I can, I will not be long from you. All the power of his wits have given way to impatience, the Gods deserve your kindness. Fretereto calls me, and tells me Nero is an angler in the lake of darkness, pray innocent beware the foul fiend. Prithee Nuncle tell me, whether a mad man be a Gentleman or a Yeoman. A King a King, to have a thousand with red burning spits come hiszing in upon them. The foul fiend bites my back, He's mad, that trusts in the tameness of a Wolf, a horses health, a boy's love, or a whore's oath. It shall be done, I will arraign them strait, Come sit thou here most learned justice Thou sapient sir sit here, no you she Foxes— Look where he stands and glars, wanst thou eyes, at tral madam come o'er the broom Bessy to me. Her boat hath a leak, and she must not speak, Why she dares not come, over to thee. The foul fiend haunts poor Tom in the voice of a nigh-tingale, Hopdance cries in Tom's belly for two white herring, Croak not black Angel, I have no food for thee. How do you sir? stand you not so amazed, will you lie down and rest upon the cushing? I'll see their trial first, bring in their evidence, thou rob man of justice take thy place, & thou his yoke-fellow of equity, bench by his side, you are o'th' commission, sit you too. Let us deal justly sleepest or wakest thou jolly shepherd, Thy sheep be in the corn, and for one blast of thy minik in mouth, thy sheep shall take no harm, Pur the cat is grey. Arraign her first 'tis Gonoril, I here take my oath before this honourable assembly kicked the poor king her father. Come hither mistress is your name Goneril. She cannot deny it. Cry you mercy I took you for a join stool.

I now perceiue it was not altogether your brothers euill disposition made him seeke his death, but a prouoking merit, set a worke by a reproueable badnes in himselfe. How malicious is my fortune, that I must repent to bee iust? this is the letter he spoke of, which approues him an intelligent partie to the aduantages of France, O heauens that his treason were, or not I the detecter. Goe with me to the Dutches. If the matter of this paper be certaine, you haue mighty busines in hand. True or false, it hath made thee Earle of Gloster, seeke out where thy father is, that hee may bee readie for our apprehension. If I find him comforting the King, it will stuffe his suspition more fully, I will perseuere in my course of loyaltie, though the conflict be sore betweene that and my bloud. I will lay trust vpon thee, and thou shalt find a dearer father in my loue. Here is better then the open ayre, take it thankfully, I will peece out the comfort with what addition I can, I will not be long from you. All the power of his wits haue giuen way to impatience, the Gods deserue your kindnes. Fretereto cals me, and tels me Nero is an angler in the lake of darknes, pray innocent beware the foule fiend. Prithe Nunckle tell me, whether a mad man be a Gentleman or a Yeoman. A King a King, to haue a thousand with red burning spits come hiszing in vpon them. The foule fiend bites my backe, He's mad, that trusts in the tamenes of a Wolfe, a horses health, a boyes loue, or a whores oath. It shal be done, I wil arraigne them straight, Come sit thou here most learned Iustice Thou sapient sir sit here, no you shee Foxes— Looke where he stands and glars, wanst thou eyes, at tral madam come ore the broome Bessy to mee. Her boat hath a leake, and she must not speake, Why she dares not come, ouer to thee. The foule fiend haūts poore Tom in the voyce of a nigh-tingale, Hoppedance cries in Toms belly for two white herring, Croke not blacke Angell, I haue no foode for thee. How doe you sir? stand you not so amazd, will you lie downe and rest vpon the cushings? Ile see their triall first, bring in their euidence, thou robbed man of Iustice take thy place, & thou his yokefellow of equity, bench by his side, you are ot'h commission, sit you too. Let vs deale iustly sleepest or wakest thou iolly shepheard, Thy sheepe bee in the corne, and for one blast of thy minik in mouth, thy sheepe shall take no harme, Pur the cat is gray. Arraigne her first tis Gonoril, I here take my oath before this honorable assembly kickt the poore king her father. Come hither mistrisse is your name Gonorill. She cannot deny it. Cry you mercy I tooke you for a ioyne stoole.
