Lear.
No Regan, thou shalt neuer haue my
curse:
Thy tender‐hefted Nature shall not giue
Thee o're to harshnesse: Her eyes are fierce, but
thine
Do comfort, and not burne. 'Tis not in thee
To grudge my pleasures, to cut off my Traine,
To bandy hasty words, to scant my sizes,
And in conclusion, to oppose the bolt
Against my comming in. Thou better know'st
The Offices of Nature, bond of Childhood,
Effects of Curtesie, dues of Gratitude:
Thy halfe o'th' Kingdome hast thou not
forgot,
Wherein I thee endow'd.
