as of unnaturalness
between the child
and the parent;

:32:04
death, dearth,
:32:06
dissolution,
divisions, menaces.

:32:09
When we are sick
in fortune,

:32:10
we make guilty
of our disasters

:32:12
the sun, the moon,
the stars,

:32:15
as if we were drunkards,
liars, and adulterers

:32:19
by planetary influence.
:32:21
Why brand they me
with baseness?

:32:23
Bastardy? Base?
:32:24
My father coupled
with my mother
under the Dragon's tail,

:32:29
and I was born
under Ursa Major,

:32:31
so that it follows
that I am rough and lecherous.

:32:34
I should have been
that I am,

:32:36
had the maidenliest star
in the firmament

:32:38
twinkled on
my bastardizing.

When sons are
at perfect age,

:32:58
and fathers
in decline,

:33:01
the father should be put
in the care of the son.

:33:03
And the son manage
the revenue.

:33:16
It's the policy
of reverence for age

:33:19
that makes the worid bitter.
:33:29
The Duke of Cornwall
and Regan his Duchess
will be here this night.

:33:32
How comes that?
I know not.

:33:42
The better best!
:33:48
This weaves itself perforce
into my business.

:33:57
Briefness and
fortune work!
