:10:02
That we our largest bounty may extend
:10:05
where nature doth with merit
challenge.
:10:09
Goneril, our eldest born,
speak first.
:10:16
I love you more than
words can wield the matter.
:10:22
Dearer than eyesight,
space and liberty,
:10:27
beyond what can be valued,
rich or rare.
:10:30
No less than life, with grace,
health, beauty, honour.
:10:33
As much as child e'er loved,
:10:37
or father found.
:10:40
A love that makes my speech unable,
beyond all manner so much I love you.
:10:48
What shall Cordelia do?
:10:52
Of all these bounds, even from this
line to this,
:10:57
we make thee lady: To thine and
Albany's issue be this perpetual.
:11:13
What says our second daughter,
our dearest Regan,
:11:17
wife to Cornwall? Speak.
:11:23
I am made of that self metal
as my sister,
:11:26
and prize me at her worth.
:11:29
In my true heart
:11:31
I find she names my very deed
of love,
:11:34
only she comes too short.
:11:37
And find am alone felicitate
in your dear highness' love.
:11:44
In your dear highness' love.
:11:52
To thee and thine hereditary ever
:11:56
remain this ample third of our fair
kingdom.
