Lear.  O,  reafon  Hot  the  need  :  our  bafelt  beggan
Are  in  the  pooreit  thing  fuperfiuous :
Allow  not  nature  more  than  nature  needs,
NLui*s  life  Is  cheap  as  t>eaft*s :  thou  art  a  lady  f
If  only  to  go  warm  were  gorgeous,

You  heavens,  give  me  that  patience,  pbtience  t
You  fee  me  here,  you  gods,  a  poor  old  man.

If  it  be  yoQ  that  (tir  thefe  daughters'  hearts
Agaitift  their  fiCher,  fuol  me  not  fo  much
To  bear  it  tamely  ;  touch  me  with  noble  anger  !
O,  let  nuc  women's  weapons,  water-drops,
Stain  my  man's  cheeks  !— No,  you  nnnatui-al  haglf
I  will  have  fuch  revenges  on  you  both.

What  they  arc,  yet  I  know  not  j  but  the^/  (hall  be
The  terrors  of  the  earth.     You  think,  I'U  weep :

No,  I'll  not  wetp :

I  have  full  caufe  of  weeping ;  hxtt  this  heart
Shall  break  into  a  hundred  thoufand  flaw%.
Or  ere  I'll  weep  i — O  fool,  1  ihall  go  mad  I
