Lear- Act 5 Flashcards
Our sisters man is certainly miscarried
Regan
Do you not love my sister?
Regan
That thought abuses you
Edmund
Be not familiar with her
Regan
I had rather lose the battle than that sister should loosen him and me
Goneril
Sir this I heard: the King is come to his daughter, with others whom the rigour of our state forced to cry out
Albany
For this business, it touches us as France invades our land, not bolds the King, with others whom I fear, most just the heavy causes make oppose
Albany
Sir, you speak nobly
Edmund
Combine together ‘gainst the enemy
Goneril
Let’s them determine with the ancient of war on our proceeding
Albany
I shall attend you presently at your tent
Edmund
O ho, I know the riddle. I will go
Goneril
Wretched though I seem, I can produce a champion that will prove what is avouched there
Edgar
The enemy’s in view; draw up your powers
Edmund
Neither can be enjoyed if both remain alive
Edmund
The battle done, and they within our power, shall never see his pardon; for my state stands on me to fend, not to debate
Edmund
Pray that the right may thrive. If ever I return to you again I’ll bring you comfort
Edgar
Away, old man, give me the hand, away! King Lear hath lost, he and his daughter ta’en
Edgar
No further, sir; s man may rot even here
Gloucester
Men must endure their going hence even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all.

Until their greater pleasures first be know that are to censure them
Edmund
We are not the first who with best meaning have incurred the worst
Cordelia
Se two alone will sing like birds in the cage
Lear
And take upon the mystery of things as if we were gods spies
Lear
He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven, and fire us hence like foxes
Lear
Wipe thine eyes; the good years shall devour them, flesh and fell, ere they shall make us weep
Lear
If thou dost as this instructs thee, thou dost make thy way to noble fortunes
Edmund
Know thou this, that men are as the time is; to be tender-minded does not become a sword
Edmund
Thy great employment will not bear question: either say thou’lt do it or thrive by other means
Edmund
He’s full of alteration and self-reproving
Edmund
I cannot draw a cart, nor eat fried oats. If it be a mans work, I’ll do it
Captain
Sir, you have showed today your valiant strain
Albany
Whose age had charms in it, whose title more, to pluck the common boos, on his side, and turn our impressed lances in our eyes which do command them
Edmund
The question of Cordelia and her father requires a fitter place
Edmund
