	My lord, when at their home

	Ere I was risen from the place that show'd
	My duty kneeling, there came a reeking post,
	Stew'd in his haste, half breathless, panting forth
	From Goneril his mistress salutations;
	Deliver'd letters, spite of intermission,
	Which presently they read: on whose contents
	They summon'd up their meiny, straight took horse;
	Commanded me to follow, and attend
	The leisure of their answer; gave me cold looks:
	And meeting here the other messenger,
	Whose welcome, I perceiv'd, had poison'd mine,
	Being the very fellow which of late
	Display'd so saucily against your highness,
	Having more man than wit about me,drew:
	He rais'd the house with loud and coward cries.
	Your son and daughter found this trespass worth
	The shame which here it suffers.

	Sir, I do know you;

	Who haveas who have not, that their great stars
	Thron'd and set highservants, who seem no less,
	Which are to France the spies and speculations
	Intelligent of our state; what hath been seen,
	Either in snuffs and packings of the dukes,
	Or the hard rein which both of them have borne
	Against the old kind king; or something deeper,
	Whereof perchance these are but furnishings;
	But, true it is, from France there comes a power
	Into this scatter'd kingdom; who already,
	Wise in our negligence, have secret feet
	In some of our best ports, and are at point
	To show their open banner. Now to you:
	If on my credit you dare build so far
	To make your speed to Dover, you shall find
	Some that will thank you, making just report
	Of how unnatural and bemadding sorrow
	The king hath cause to plain.
	I am a gentleman of blood and breeding,
	And from some knowledge and assurance offer
	This office to you.

	For confirmation that I am much more

	As doubt not but you shall,show her this ring,
	And she will tell you who your fellow is
	That yet you do not know. Fie on this storm!

	Well, sir, I'll bring you to our master Lear,
	And leave you to attend him. Some dear cause
	Will in concealment wrap me up awhile;
	When I am known aright, you shall not grieve
	Lending me this acquaintance. I pray you, go
	Along with me.
</KENT>

<SPEECH 107><ACT 4><SCENE 7><83%>
<KENT>	<83%>
	To be acknowledg'd, madam, is o'erpaid.
	All my reports go with the modest truth,
	Nor more nor clipp'd, but so.
</KENT>

<SPEECH 108><ACT 4><SCENE 7><83%>
<KENT>	<84%>
	Pardon me, dear madam;
	Yet to be known shortens my made intent:
	My boon I make it that you know me not
	Till time and I think meet.

<SPEECH 111><ACT 4><SCENE 7><85%>
<KENT>	<86%>
	Most certain, sir.

	My point and period will be throughly wrought,

<SPEECH 116><ACT 5><SCENE 3><96%>
<KENT>	<97%>
	Alack! why thus?

<SPEECH 117><ACT 5><SCENE 3><97%>

	The same,

	No, my good lord; I am the very man
</KENT>

<SPEECH 122><ACT 5><SCENE 3><98%>

	That, from your first of difference and decay,

<SPEECH 123><ACT 5><SCENE 3><98%>
<KENT>	<99%>
	Nor no man else; all's cheerless, dark, and deadly:

	My master calls me, I must not say no.
