1:00:02
for now I spy a danger.
1:00:04
I entreat you to bring
but five and twenty.

1:00:07
To no more will I give
place or notice.

1:00:10
I gave you all.
1:00:12
And in good time
you gave it.

1:00:14
Made you my guardians,
1:00:17
my depositories,
1:00:19
but kept a reservation
1:00:22
to be followed
with such a number.

1:00:27
What, must I come
to you with five
and twenty?

1:00:30
Regan, said you so?
1:00:33
And speak't again, my lord.
No more with me.

1:00:40
Those wicked creatures
yet do look well-favour'd

1:00:46

1:00:51
Not being the worst
stands in some
rank of praise.

1:01:00
I'll go with thee.
1:01:03
Thy fifty yet
doth double
five and twenty.

1:01:07
And thou art
twice her love.

1:01:10
Hear me, my lord.
1:01:12
What need you
five and twenty,
ten, or five,

1:01:16
to follow in a house
where twice so many have
a command to tend you?

1:01:21
What need one?
1:01:24
O, reason not the need!
1:01:29
Our basest beggars are in
the poorest thing superfluous.

1:01:35
Allow not nature more
than nature needs,

1:01:39
man's life's as cheap as beast's.
1:01:44
Thou art a lady;
1:01:46
if only to go warm
were gorgeous,

1:01:49
why, nature needs not
what thou gorgeous wear'st

1:01:52
which scarcely
keeps thee warm.

1:01:57
But for true need...
