Lines are numbered continuously, for ease of reference .

Following 1.2.88:

EDMUND Nor is not, sure 1.

GLOUCESTER To his father, that so tenderly and entirely loves him.

Heaven and earth!

Following 1.2.130:

as of unnaturalness 4between the child and the parent,

death, dearth, dissolutions of ancient amities, divisions 5in

state, menaces and maledictions 6against king and nobles,

needless diffidences, banishment of friends, dissipation of 7

cohorts, nuptial breaches 8, and I know not what.

EDGAR How long have you been a sectary astronomical 9?

EDMUND Come, come,

Following 1.3.16:

Not to be overruled. Idle 11old man,

That still would manage those authorities

That he hath given away! Now by my life

Old fools are babes again, and must be used 14

With checks as flatteries, when they are seen abused 15.

Following 1.4.131:

FOOL That lord that counselled thee to give away thy land,

Come place him here by me, do thou for him stand 17,

The sweet and bitter fool will presently 18appear:

The one in motley 19here, the other found out there.

LEAR Dost thou call me fool, boy?

FOOL All thy other titles thou hast given away, that thou

wast born with.

KENT This is not altogether fool 23my lord.

FOOL No, faith, lords and great men will not let me, if I

had a monopoly out, they would have part on’t 25: and ladies

too, they will not let me have all the fool to myself, they’ll be

snatching 27.

Following 1.4.204:

I would learn that, for by the marks 28of sovereignty,

knowledge, and reason, I should be false 29persuaded I had

daughters.

FOOL Which they will make an obedient father.

Following 2.2.137:

His fault is much, and the good king, his master,

Will check him for’t: your purposed low correction 33

Is such as basest and ’temnest 34wretches

For pilf’rings and most common trespasses 35

Are punished with.

Following 3.1.7:

tears his white hair,

Which the impetuous blasts with eyeless 38rage

Catch 39in their fury, and make nothing of,

Strives in his little world of man to out-scorn,

The to-and-fro-conflicting wind and rain:

This night wherein the cubdrawn bear would couch 42,

The lion and the belly-pinchèd 43wolf

Keep their fur dry, unbonneted 44he runs,

And bids what will take all 45.

Replaces 3.1.16–23:

But true it is, from France there comes a power 46

Into this scattered 47kingdom, who already

Wise in our negligence, have secret feet 48

In some of our best ports, and are at point 49

To show their open banner.

Now to you:

If on my credit 52you dare build so far

To make your speed to Dover, you shall find

Some that will thank you, making just report 54

Of how unnatural and bemadding 55sorrow

The king hath cause to ’plain 56.

I am a gentleman of blood 57and breeding,

And from some knowledge and assurance 58,

Offer this office 59to you.

Following 3.6.16:

EDGAR The foul fiend bites my back.

FOOL He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a

horse’s health, a boy’s love, or a whore’s oath.

LEAR It shall be done, I will arraign them straight 63,

To Edgar

Come sit thou here most learnèd justice 64.—

To the Fool

Thou, sapient 65sir sit here.

No, you she foxes—

EDGAR Look where he stands and glares. Want’st thou eyes 67

at trial, madam?

Come o’er the bourn 69, Bessy, to me—

Sings

FOOL Her boat hath a leak 70,

And she must not speak 71

Why she dares not come over 72to thee.

EDGAR The foul 73fiend haunts poor Tom in the voice of a

nightingale, Hopdance 74cries in Tom’s belly for two white

herring,

Croak not black angel 76, I have no food for thee.

KENT How do you sir? Stand you not so amazed 77,

Will you lie down and rest upon the cushings 78?

LEAR I’ll see their trial first, bring in their evidence.—

To Edgar

Thou robèd man of justice, take thy place—

To the Fool

And thou, his yoke-fellow of equity 81,

To Kent

Bench by his side:— you are o’th’commission 82,

Sit you too.

EDGAR Let us deal justly.

Sleepest or wakest thou, jolly shepherd?

Thy sheep be in the corn,

And for one blast of thy minikin 87mouth,

Thy sheep shall take no harm.

Purr 89, the cat is grey.

LEAR Arraign her first, ’tis Goneril. I here take my oath

before this honourable assembly, she kicked the poor king

her father.

FOOL Come hither, mistress. Is your name Goneril?

LEAR She cannot deny it.

FOOL Cry you mercy, I took you for a joint-stool 95.

LEAR And here’s another whose warped looks 96proclaim

What store her heart is made on 97: stop her there!

Arms, arms, sword, fire! Corruption in the place!

False justicer, why hast thou let her scape 99?

Following 3.6.55:

KENT Oppressed 100nature sleeps:

This rest might yet have balmed thy broken sinews 101,

Which, if convenience 102will not allow,

To Fool

Stand in hard cure 103.— Come help to bear thy master:

Thou must not stay behind.

Exeunt. [Edgar remains]

EDGAR When we our betters see bearing our woes 105,

We scarcely think our miseries our foes.

Who alone suffers, suffers most i’th’mind 107,

Leaving free things and happy shows 108behind,

But then the mind much sufferance doth o’erskip 109,

When grief hath mates, and bearing 110fellowship:

How light and portable 111my pain seems now,

When that which makes me bend, makes the king bow 112:

He childed as I fathered 113. Tom away!

Mark the high noises and thyself bewray 114

When false opinion, whose wrong thoughts defile thee,

In thy just proof 116repeals and reconciles thee.

What will hap more tonight, safe scape the king 117:

Lurk 118, lurk.

Exit

Following 3.7.109:

SERVANT I’ll never care what wickedness I do,

If this man come to good.

SECOND SERVANT If she live long,

And in the end meet the old course of death 122,

Women will all turn monsters.

FIRST SERVANT Let’s follow the old earl, and get the Bedlam 124

To lead him where he would 125: his madness

Allows itself to 126anything.

SECOND SERVANT Go thou: I’ll fetch some flax and whites of eggs 127

To apply to his bleeding face. Now heaven help him!

Following 4.1.66:

Five fiends have been in poor Tom at once: of lust, as

Obidicut, Hobbididence, prince of dumbness, Mahu of 130

stealing, Modo of murder, Flibbertigibbet of mopping and 131

mowing, who since possesses chambermaids and waiting-

women. So, bless thee, master.

Following 4.2.35:

I fear your disposition:

That nature, which contemns i’th’origin 135

Cannot be bordered certain 136in itself.

She that herself will sliver and disbranch 137

From her material sap perforce 138must wither

And come to deadly use 139.

GONERIL No more, the text 140is foolish.

ALBANY Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile:

Filths savour but 142themselves. What have you done?

Tigers, not daughters, what have you performed?

A father, and a gracious 144agèd man,

Whose reverence even the head-lugged 145bear would lick,
