Skuespill: Lear, ACT III, SCENE II. Another part of the heath. Storm still. KING LEAR: True, my good boy. Come, bring us to this hovel. Skuespill: Lear, ACT III, SCENE II. Another part of the heath. Storm still. Fool: This is a brave night to cool a courtezan. I'll speak a prophecy ere I go: When priests are more in word than matter; When brewers mar their malt with water; When nobles are their tailors' tutors; No heretics burn'd, but wenches' suitors; When every case in law is right; No squire in debt, nor no poor knight; When slanders do not live in tongues; Nor cutpurses come not to throngs; When usurers tell their gold i' the field; And bawds and whores do churches build; Then shall the realm of Albion Come to great confusion: Then comes the time, who lives to see't, That going shall be used with feet. This prophecy Merlin shall make; for I live before his time. |
