King Lear by William Shakespeare
page 52 of 204 (25%)
Shalt see thy other daughter will use thee kindly; for though
she's as like this as a crab's like an apple, yet I can tell
what I can tell.

Lear.
What canst tell, boy?

Fool.
She'll taste as like this as a crab does to a crab. Thou
canst tell why one's nose stands i' the middle on's face?

Lear.
No.

Fool.
Why, to keep one's eyes of either side's nose, that what a man
cannot smell out, he may spy into.

Lear.
I did her wrong,--

Fool.
Canst tell how an oyster makes his shell?

Lear.
No.

Fool.
Nor I neither; but I can tell why a snail has a house.
