Skuespill: Lear, ACT I, SCENE II. The Earl of Gloucester's castle. GLOUCESTER: Reads 'This policy and reverence of age makes the world bitter to the best of our times; keeps our fortunes from us till our oldness cannot relish them. I begin to find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of aged tyranny; who sways, not as it hath power, but as it is suffered. Come to me, that of this I may speak more. If our father would sleep till I waked him, you should half his revenue for ever, and live the beloved of your brother, EDGAR.' Hum--conspiracy!--'Sleep till I waked him,--you should enjoy half his revenue,'--My son Edgar! Had he a hand to write this? a heart and brain to breed it in?--When came this to you? who brought it? Skuespill: Lear, ACT I, SCENE II. The Earl of Gloucester's castle. EDMUND: It was not brought me, my lord; there's the cunning of it; I found it thrown in at the casement of my closet. |
