King Lear

Earl of Kent

This is not altogether fool, my lord.

King Lear
[II, 4]

Regan

1528

Not altogether so.
I look'd not for you yet, nor am provided
For your fit welcome. Give ear, sir, to my sister;
For those that mingle reason with your passion
Must be content to think you old, and so-
But she knows what she does.

disposition made him seek his death; but a provoking merit, set
awork by a reproveable badness in himself.
