This is a fellow of the felf-fame colour His fault is much, and the good king his master Corn. I'll anfwer that. Reg. My fifter may receive it much more worse, To have her gentleman abus'd, affaulted, For following her affairs.-Put in his legs.→ Come, my good lord; away. [KENT is put in the flocks. [Exeunt REG. and CORN. Glo. I am forry for thee, friend; 'tis the duke's pleasure, Whose difpofition, all the world well knows, Will not be rubb'd, nor stopp'd: I'll entreat for thee. Kent. Pray, do not, fir: I have watch'd, and travell'd hard; Some time I shall sleep out, the rest I'll whistle. A good man's fortune may grow out at heels : Give you good morrow! Glo. The duke's to blame in this; 'twill be ill taken. [Exit. Kent. Good king, that must approve the common faw! Thou out of heaven's benediction com'ft To the warm fun!

And not fend back my messenger. Fool. Ha, ha; look! he wears cruel garters! Horses are tied by the heads; dogs, and bears, by the neck; monkies by the loins, and men by the legs: when a man is overlufty at legs, then he wears wooden nether-stocks. Lear. What's he that hath so much thy place miftook To fet thee here? Kent. I fay, yea. Lear. No, no; they would not. Kent. Yes, they have. |
