Propinquity and property of blood,
And as a stranger to my heart and me
Hold thee, from this, for ever. King Lear, 1. 1

A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue
As I am glad I have not, though not to have it
Hath lost me in your liking. King Lear, 1. 1

is not love
When it is mingled with regards that stand
Aloof from the entire point. King Lear, 1. 1

the infirmity of his age: yet he hath ever
but slenderly known himself. King Lear, 1. 1

My mind as generous, and my shape as true,
As honest madam's issue? King Lear, 1. 2

grow; I prosper:
Now, gods, stand up for bastards! King Lear, 1. 2
