_Reg._ Ingrateful fox! 'tis he. _Corn._ Bind fast his corky arms. _Glou._ What mean your graces? Good my friends, consider[3925][3926] You are my guests: do me no foul play, friends.[3925] 30 _Corn._ Bind him, I say. [_Servants bind him._[3927] _Reg._ Hard, hard. O filthy traitor! _Glou._ Unmerciful lady as you are, I'm none.[3928] _Corn._ To this chair bind him. Villain, thou shalt find-- [_Regan plucks his beard._[3929] _Glou._ By the kind gods, 'tis most ignobly done[3930] To pluck me by the beard.[3930] 35 _Reg._ So white, and such a traitor! _Glou._ Naughty lady,[3931] These hairs which thou dost ravish from my chin[3931] Will quicken and accuse thee: I am your host:[3932] With robbers' hands my hospitable favours[3933] You should not ruffle thus. What will you do?[3934] 40 _Corn._ Come, sir, what letters had you late from France?[3935] _Reg._ Be simple answerer, for we know the truth.[3936] _Corn._ And what confederacy have you with the traitors[3937] Late footed in the kingdom?[3937][3938] _Reg._ To whose hands have you sent the lunatic king?[3939][3940] 45 Speak.[3939] _Glou._ I have a letter guessingly set down,[3941] Which came from one that's of a neutral heart And not from one opposed. _Corn._ Cunning. _Reg._ And false. _Corn._ Where hast thou sent the king? _Glou._ To Dover.[3942] 50 _Reg._ Wherefore to Dover? Wast thou not charged at peril--[3943] _Corn._ Wherefore to Dover? Let him first answer that.[3944] _Glou._ I am tied to the stake, and I must stand the course.[3945] _Reg._ Wherefore to Dover, sir?[3946] _Glou._ Because I would not see thy cruel nails 55 Pluck out his poor old eyes, nor thy fierce sister In his anointed flesh stick boarish fangs.[3947] The sea, with such a storm as his bare head[3948] In hell-black night endured, would have buoy'd up,[3949] And quench'd the stelled fires:[3950][3951] 60 Yet, poor old heart, he holp the heavens to rain.[3950][3952] If wolves had at thy gate howl'd that stern time,[3953] Thou shouldst have said, 'Good porter, turn the key,'[3954] All cruels else subscribed: but I shall see[3955] The winged vengeance overtake such children. 65 _Corn._ See't shalt thou never. Fellows, hold the chair. Upon these eyes of thine I'll set my foot.[3956] _Glou._ He that will think to live till he be old,[3957] Give me some help! O cruel! O you gods![3958] _Reg._ One side will mock another; the other too.[3959] 70 _Corn._ If you see vengeance--[3960]
