:20:17
I'll teach thee
a speech.
:20:22
Do.
:20:36
This is nothing, fool.
:20:38
Can you make no use
of nothing, nuncle?
:20:40
Why, no, boy;
Nothing can be
:20:43
made out of nothing.
:20:46
Give me an egg,
and I'll give thee
two crowns.
:20:49
What two crowns
shall they be?
:20:52
Why, after I've cut
the egg in the middle
:20:56
and eat up
the meat,
:20:59
the two crowns
of the egg.
:21:02
Thou hadst little wit
in thy bald crown when thou
gav'st thy golden one away.
:21:07
I prithee, nuncle, keep
a schoolmaster that
can teach thy fool to lie.
:21:10
I would fain
learn to lie.
:21:12
And you lie, sirrah,
we'll have you whipp'd.
:21:14
I marvel what kin
thou and thy
daughters are.
:21:17
They'll have me whipped
for speaking true, for lying,
:21:20
and sometimes
for holding my peace.
:21:22
I'd rather be any kind
of a thing than a fool;
:21:25
yet I would not
be thee, nuncle;
:21:27
for thou hast pared
thy wits o' both sides
and left nothing in the middle.
:21:30
# Mum, mum!
He that keeps nor crust nor crumb #
:21:33
# Weary of all shall want some ##
:21:36
When were you wont
to be so full of songs, sirrah?
:21:39
Ever since thou mad'st
thy daughters thy mothers;
:21:42
for when thou gav'st them
the rod, and pulled
down thine own breeches.
:21:44
# Then they for sudden joy did weep #
:21:46
# And I for sorrow sung #
:21:49
# That such a king
Should play bo-peep #
:21:52
# And go the fools among ##
:21:57
Nay,
:21:59
and thou canst not smile
as the wind sits.
