King Lear

I am old and foolish

King Lear:

Pray, do not mock me: I am a very foolish fond old man, Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind. Methinks I should know you, and know this man; Yet I am doubtful for I am mainly ignorant, What place this is; and all the skill I have, Remembers not these garments; nor I know not, Where I did lodge last night. Do not laugh at me; For, as I am a man, I think this lady, To be my child Cordelia. Cordelia:
And so I am, I am. King Lear:
Be your tears wet? Yes, 'faith. I know you do not love me; for your sister,s Have, as I do remember, done me wrong: You have some cause, they have not. Cordelia:
No cause, no cause. King Lear:
You must bear with me: Pray you now, forget and forgive: I am old and foolish
