Nothing can come of Nothing

Speak again!

Here I disclaim paternal care

Get the hence, avoid my sight!

When power bows to flattery,

Majesty falls!

The jester dances around the throne

All is lost, Lear is mad

Time shall unfold what cunning hides,

These treacherous faults and mutinous hides

Lear is mad

By the sacred radiant sun,the mysteries of night

and heavenly orbs, I split the crown in two but keep

the name of king

Woe that too late repents!

Ingratitude...

into her womb convey, sterility!

Sharper than a serpents tooth

To spawn a thankless wretch!

Sheets of fire and horrid thunder

Crack the sky, burn and flood the earth below,

Tempests blast in eyeless rage

Disperse your furies upon me...

Bound upon a wheel of fire you do me wrong

To pull me out of the grave,

My tears do scald like molten lead!

When we are born we cry that we are come to this great

Stage of fools

Where is thy luster now? All is dark and comfortless...

A plague upon you: murderers... traitors, ALL,

Cordelia!
