1:40:02
They told me
I had the white hairs
in my beard

1:40:04
ere the black ones
were there.

1:40:08
To say "ay" and "no"
to everything that I said!

1:40:14
"Ay" and "no" too
was no good divinity.

1:40:20
When the rain came
to wet me once

1:40:24
and the wind
to make me chatter;

1:40:27
when the thunder
would not peace
at my bidding;

1:40:31
there I found 'em,
there I smelt 'em out.

1:40:34
Go to, they are not
men of their word.

1:40:35
They told me
I was everything.

1:40:40
It's a lie.
1:40:43
I am not ague-proof.
1:40:45
The trick of that voice
I do well remember.
Is't not the King?

1:40:50
Ay, every inch a king.
1:40:56
When I do stare,
see how the subject quakes.

1:41:00
I pardon that man's life.
What was thy cause?
Adultery?

1:41:04
Thou shall not die.
1:41:06
Die for adultery? No.
1:41:08
The wren goes to 't,
1:41:10
and the small gilded fly
does lecher in my sight.

1:41:14
Let copulation thrive!
1:41:18
Gloucester's bastard son
was kinder to his father

1:41:21
than my daughters got
betwixt the lawful sheets.

1:41:26
To 't, luxury, pell-mell,
for I lack soldiers.

1:41:32
Give me an ounce of civet,
good apothecary.

1:41:36
Sweeten my imagination.
1:41:40
There's money for thee.
1:41:42
O, let me kiss that hand!
1:41:46
Let me wipe it first;
1:41:49
it smells of mortality.
1:41:58
O ruin'd piece of nature!
