Goneril with a white beard!--They flattered me like a dog; and told me I had white hairs in my beard ere the black ones were there. To say 'ay' and 'no' to everything I said!--'Ay' and 'no', too, was no good divinity. When the rain came to wet me once, and the wind to make me chatter; when the thunder would not peace at my bidding; there I found 'em, there I smelt 'em out. Go to, they are not men o' their words: they told me I was everything; 'tis a lie--I am not ague-proof. Glou. The trick of that voice I do well remember: Is't not the king? Lear. Ay, every inch a king: When I do stare, see how the subject quakes. |
