each fancy,
each complaint,

:15:03
dislike,
:15:05
he may enguard
his dotage
with their pow'rs,

:15:07
and hold our lives
in mercy.

:15:09
You might
fear too far.

:15:11
Safer than
trust too far.

:15:16
No, no, my lord.
:15:18
This milky gentleness
of yours shows
want of wisdom.

:15:23
Striving to better,
oft we mar what's well.

:15:28
Nay, then.
:15:29
Well, well.
:15:32
The event.
:15:52
Did my father strike
my gentleman
for chiding of his fool?

:15:55

:16:00

His knights grow riotous,
:16:10

on every trifle.

:16:19
When he returns
from hunting,

:16:20
I will not speak
with him;
say I am sick.

:16:25
If you come short
of former services,

:16:29
you shall do well;
:16:30
the fault of it
I'll answer.

:16:36
Put on what weary
negligence you please,
you and your fellows.

:16:39
I'd have it come to question.
If he distaste it,
let him to my sister.

:16:46
Idle old man,
:16:48
that still would manage
those authorities
that he hath given away.
