LEAR No, no, no, no. Come, let’s away to prison. 9 We two alone will sing like birds i’ th’ cage. 10 When thou dost ask me blessing, I’ll kneel down 11 And ask of thee forgiveness. So we’ll live, 12 And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh 13 At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues 14 Talk of court news, and we’ll talk with them too— 15 Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out— 16 And take upon ’s the mystery of things, 17 As if we were God’s spies. And we’ll wear out, 18 In a walled prison, packs and sects of great ones 19 That ebb and flow by th’ moon. 20
