King Lear was old and he was a weary of the business of his kingdom,and
wished only to end his days near his three daughters.Two of his daughters
were married to the Dukes of Albany and Cornwall; and Cordelia,his
youngest daughter.Lear called his three daughters,and told them that he
proposed to divide his kingdom between them. "But first," said he, "l
should like to know how much you love me."Goneril,who was really a very
wicked woman,and did not love her father at all, said she loved him more
than words could say."l love you as much as my sister and more," professed
Regan,Lear was pleased and turned to, Cordelia. "What can you say?"
"Nothing,my lord,"answered Cordelia."I love your Majesty according to my
duty no more, no less. I am your daughter and you have brought me up and
loved me,and I return you those duties back,obey you,love you,and most
honor you."“Go,”he said.He divided the kingdom between Goneril and
Regan, and told them that he should keep a hundred knights, and would live
with his daughters by turns.The King of France was wiser, Cordelia became
Queen of France. The King went to stay with his daughter Goneril, who had
got everything from her father,and now began to grudge the hundred
knights. She was harsh and undutiful to him.Lear set out for the castle of
Regan. But she also said that fifty knights were too many to wait on
him.When Lear saw that they wanted to drive him away,he left them and
wandered in misery, but his servant,the Earl of Kent,met him,and made him
to lie down in a little hovel. The Earl of Kent hurried to the Court of France
to tell Cordelia.At Dover she found poor King Lear, wandering about the
fields. They brought him back and fed and clothed him, and Cordelia came
to him. now Lear knew at last which of his children it was that had loved
him best, and who was worthy of his love.
