<H3>SCENE III. The Duke of Albany's palace.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter GONERIL, and OSWALD, her steward</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>GONERIL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>Did my father strike my gentleman for chiding of his fool?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>OSWALD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=2>Yes, madam.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>GONERIL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=3>By day and night he wrongs me; every hour</A><br>
<A NAME=4>He flashes into one gross crime or other,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>That sets us all at odds: I'll not endure it:</A><br>
<A NAME=6>His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us</A><br>
<A NAME=7>On every trifle. When he returns from hunting,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>I will not speak with him; say I am sick:</A><br>
<A NAME=9>If you come slack of former services,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>You shall do well; the fault of it I'll answer.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>OSWALD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=11>He's coming, madam; I hear him.</A><br>
<p><i>Horns within</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>GONERIL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=12>Put on what weary negligence you please,</A><br>
<A NAME=13>You and your fellows; I'll have it come to question:</A><br>
<A NAME=14>If he dislike it, let him to our sister,</A><br>
<A NAME=15>Whose mind and mine, I know, in that are one,</A><br>
<A NAME=16>Not to be over-ruled. Idle old man,</A><br>
<A NAME=17>That still would manage those authorities</A><br>
<A NAME=18>That he hath given away! Now, by my life,</A><br>
<A NAME=19>Old fools are babes again; and must be used</A><br>
<A NAME=20>With cheques as flatteries,--when they are seen abused.</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Remember what I tell you.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>OSWALD</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=22>Well, madam.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>GONERIL</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=23>And let his knights have colder looks among you;</A><br>
<A NAME=24>What grows of it, no matter; advise your fellows so:</A><br>
<A NAME=25>I would breed from hence occasions, and I shall,</A><br>
<A NAME=26>That I may speak: I'll write straight to my sister,</A><br>
<A NAME=27>To hold my very course. Prepare for dinner.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
