_Lear._ O, how this mother swells up toward my heart! Hysterica passio, down, thou climbing sorrow,[3351] 55 Thy element's below! Where is this daughter? _Kent._ With the earl, sir, here within.[3352][3353] _Lear._ Follow me not; stay here. [_Exit._[3352][3354] _Gent._ Made you no more offence but what you speak of?[3355] _Kent._ None.[3356][3357] 60 How chance the king comes with so small a train?[3357][3358] _Fool._ An thou hadst been set i' the stocks for that[3359][3360] question, thou hadst well deserved it.[3361] _Kent._ Why, fool? _Fool._ We'll set thee to school to an ant, to teach thee 65 there's no labouring i' the winter. All that follow their[3360][3362] noses are led by their eyes but blind men; and there's not[3362] a nose among twenty but can smell him that's stinking. Let[3363] go thy hold when a great wheel runs down a hill, lest it break thy neck with following it; but the great one that[3364] 70 goes up the hill, let him draw thee after. When a wise man[3365] gives thee better counsel, give me mine again: I would have none but knaves follow it, since a fool gives it. That sir which serves and seeks for gain,[3366][3367] And follows but for form,[3367] 75 Will pack when it begins to rain,[3367][3368] And leave thee in the storm.[3367][3369] But I will tarry; the fool will stay,[3367][3370] And let the wise man fly:[3367][3371] The knave turns fool that runs away;[3367][3372] 80 The fool no knave, perdy.[3367][3372] _Kent._ Where learned you this, fool? _Fool._ Not i' the stocks, fool.[3360][3373] _Re-enter_ LEAR, _with_ GLOUCESTER.[3374] _Lear._ Deny to speak with me? They are sick? they are weary?[3375] They have travell'd all the night? Mere fetches;[3376][3377] 85 The images of revolt and flying off.[3377][3378] Fetch me a better answer.[3379] _Glou._ My dear lord,[3380] You know the fiery quality of the duke;[3380] How unremoveable and fix'd he is[3380] In his own course.[3380] 90 _Lear._ Vengeance! plague! death! confusion![3380][3381] Fiery? what quality? Why, Gloucester, Gloucester,[3380][3382] I'ld speak with the Duke of Cornwall and his wife.[3380] _Glou._ Well, my good lord, I have inform'd them so.[3383] _Lear._ Inform'd them! Dost thou understand me, man?[3383] 95 _Glou._ Ay, my good lord.
