| | FOOL |
| |
Why, to keep one's eyes of either side 's nose, that what a |
| 20 |
man cannot smell out, he may spy into. |
|
| FOOL |
|
Why, to keep the eyes on the sides, so that you can see anything that you can't sniff out. |

|
| | FOOL |
| |
Canst tell how an oyster makes his shell? |
|
| FOOL |
|
Do you know how an oyster makes its shell? |
|
|
|
| | FOOL |
| |
Nor I neither. But I can tell why a snail has a house. |
|
| FOOL |
|
Me neither. But I know why a snail carries its house on its back. |
|
|
|
| | FOOL |
| |
Why, to put 's head in—not to give it away to his daughters |
| |
and leave his horns without a case. |
|
| FOOL |
|
So that he always has a roof over his head. He can't give his house away to his daughters, leaving himself without shelter. |

| | LEAR |
| |
I will forget my nature. So kind a father!—Be my horses |
| |
ready? |
|
| LEAR |
|
I want to forget what I am. Such a kind father!—Are my horses ready? |
|
| | FOOL |
| 30 |
Thy asses are gone about 'em. The reason why the seven |
| |
stars are no more than seven is a pretty reason. |
|
| FOOL |
|
Your attendant asses are getting the horses ready. There's a nice reason why the constellation Pleiades has only seven stars in it. |
|
| | LEAR |
| |
Because they are not eight? |
|
| LEAR |
|
Because it doesn't have eight? |
|
| | FOOL |
| |
Yes indeed. Thou wouldst make a good fool. |
|
| FOOL |
|
That's right. You'd make a good fool. |
|
| | LEAR |
| |
To take 't again perforce— Monster ingratitude! |
|
| LEAR |
|
I could take back my crown by force—What outrageous ingratitude! |
