Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Madness ~ KING LEAR

Let the great gods,

That keep this dreadful pother o'er our heads,

Find out their enemies now. Tremble, thou wretch,

That hast within thee undivulged crimes,

Unwhipp'd of justice: hide thee, thou bloody hand;

Thou perjured, and thou simular man of virtue

That art incestuous: caitiff, to pieces shake,

That under covert and convenient seeming

Hast practised on man's life: close pent-up guilts,

Rive your concealing continents, and cry

These dreadful summoners grace. ....

More madness ~ EDGAR

A serving-man, proud in heart and mind; that curled

my hair; wore gloves in my cap; served the lust of

my mistress' heart, and did the act of darkness with

her; swore as many oaths as I spake words, and

broke them in the sweet face of heaven: one that

slept in the contriving of lust, and waked to do it:

wine loved I deeply, dice dearly: and in woman

out-paramoured the Turk: false of heart, light of

ear, bloody of hand; hog in sloth, fox in stealth,

wolf in greediness, dog in madness, lion in prey.

Let not the creaking of shoes nor the rustling of

silks betray thy poor heart to woman: keep thy foot

out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen

from lenders' books, and defy the foul fiend.

Still through the hawthorn blows the cold wind:

Says suum, mun, ha, no, nonny.

Dolphin my boy, my boy, sessa! let him trot by.

And finally... some much needed wisdom ~ Fool

He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a

horse's health, a boy's love, or a whore's oath.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

i anticipate the passage replace into while King Lear replace into chatting along with his daughter Cordelia in Act IV. you will desire to placed the passage in context with the the remainder of the play. i'd desire to in uncomplicated terms wager that the passage is while King Lear found out the undesirable mistake he had made with listening and trusting his 2 daughers, and disowning the single daughter that rather replace into honest to him.
