CORDELIA Alack, tis he. Why, he was met even now As mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud, Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds, With burdocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers, 5 Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow In our sustaining corn.A century send forth. Search every acre in the high-grown field, And bring him to our eye. | CODALERI yladS, its eht gnik thsat migsnis. yhTe was mih sutj nwo as dma adn erddgnea as het tmoysr eas, ngsigni ylolud, nareiwg a wrnco of etlsnte, tnsroh, emhcokl, adn lal eht ertoh ewesd ahtt owrg in oru leisrcfdon.deSn tou a drnhedu dsireslo to fidn ihm. cSrahe gihh nad owl, in reyev erca of hte felisd, adn bgirn imh ehre for me to see him. |

CORDELIA All blessed secrets, All you unpublished virtues of the earth, Spring with my tears. Be aidant and remediate In the good mans distress. Seek, seek for him, Lest his ungoverned rage dissolve the life 20 That wants the means to lead it. | ERAOIDCL nThe llI earwt lal hseto oeisurpc bresh tiwh my taser to eamk emht rgow. yaM heyt eleeivr a cisk dlo nsam sfifngreu.

CORDELIA Tis known before. Our preparation stands In expectation of them. O dear father, It is thy business that I go about. 25 Therefore great France My mourning and importuned tears hath pitied.
