_Reg._ Not altogether so:[3478][3479] I look'd not for you yet, nor am provided[3478][3480] For your fit welcome. Give ear, sir, to my sister;[3478][3481] 230 For those that mingle reason with your passion[3478][3482] Must be content to think you old, and so--[3483] But she knows what she does. _Lear._ Is this well spoken?[3484] _Reg._ I dare avouch it, sir: what, fifty followers?[3485] Is it not well? What should you need of more? 235 Yea, or so many, sith that both charge and danger[3486] Speak 'gainst so great a number? How in one house[3487] Should many people under two commands Hold amity? 'Tis hard, almost impossible.[3488] _Gon._ Why might not you, my lord, receive attendance 240 From those that she calls servants or from mine? _Reg._ Why not, my lord? If then they chanced to slack you,[3489] We could control them. If you will come to me,[3490] For now I spy a danger, I entreat you[3491] To bring but five and twenty: to no more[3492] 245 Will I give place or notice. _Lear._ I gave you all--[3493] _Reg._ And in good time you gave it. _Lear._ Made you my guardians, my depositaries, But kept a reservation to be follow'd[3494] With such a number. What, must I come to you[3495] 250 With five and twenty, Regan? said you so?[3496] _Reg._ And speak't again, my lord; no more with me.[3497] _Lear._ Those wicked creatures yet do look well-favour'd,[3498][3499] When others are more wicked; not being the worst[3498][3500] Stands in some rank of praise. [_To Gon._] I'll go with thee:[3501] 255 Thy fifty yet doth double five and twenty, And thou art twice her love.[3502] _Gon._ Hear me, my lord: What need you five and twenty, ten, or five, To follow in a house where twice so many Have a command to tend you? _Reg._ What need one?[3503] 260
