"King Lear" by William Shakespeare


Lear:
[...] Now, our joy,
Although our last and least; to whose young love
The vines of France and Milk of Burgundy
Strive to be interest; what can you say to draw
A third more opulent than your sisters? Speak.

Cordelia:
Nothing, my lord.

Lear:  
Nothing?

Cordelia:
Nothing.

Lear:
Nothing will come of nothing. Speak again.

Cordelia:
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave
My heart into my mouth. I love your Majesty
According to my bond, no more nor less. (1.1, 84-95)
