King Lear King Lear was old and tired he
was a weary of the business of his
kingdom and wished only to end his days
quietly near his three daughters two of
his daughters were married to the Dukes
of Albany in Cornwall and the Duke of
Burgundy and the King of France were
both suitors for the hand of Cordelia
his youngest daughter Lear called his
three daughters together and told them
that he proposed to divide his kingdom
between them but first said he I 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 she loved him dear than eyesight
space or Liberty more than life grace
health beauty and honour I love you as
much as my sister and more professed
Regan since I care for nothing but my
father's love Lear was very much pleased
with Regan's professions and turned to
his youngest daughter Cordelia
now our joy though last not least said
he the best part of my kingdom I have
kept for you what can you say nothing my
lord answered Cordelia
nothing can come of nothing speak again
said the king and Cordelia answered I
love your majesty according to my duty
no more no less
and this she said because she was
disgusted with the way in which her
sisters professed love when really they
had not even a right sense of duty to
their old father I am your daughter she
went on and you have brought me up and
loved me and I returned those duties
back as a ride and fit obey you
love you and most honor you Lear who
loved Cordelia best had wished her to
make more extravagant professions of
love than her sisters go he said be
forever a stranger to my heart and me
the Earl of Kent one of Lear's favorite
courtiers and captains tried to say a
word for Cordelia sake but Lear would
not listen he divided the kingdom
between Goneril and Regan and told them
that he should only keep a hundred
knights at arms and would live with his
daughters by turns when the Duke of
Burgundy knew that Cordelia would have
no share of the kingdom he gave up his
courtship of her but the King of France
was why
and said the eye dowerless daughter king
is queen of us of ours and our fair
friends take her take her said the king
for i will never see that face of hers
again so Cordelia became queen of France
and the Earl of Kent for having ventured
to take her part was banished from the
kingdom the king now went to stay with
his daughter Goneril who had got
everything from her father that he had
to give and now began to grudge even the
hundred Knights that he had reserved for
himself
she was harsh and undutiful to him and
her servants either refused to obey his
orders or pretended that they did not
hear him now the Earl of Kent when he
was banished made as though he would go
into another country but instead he came
back in the disguise of a serving men
and took service with the king the King
now had two friends the Earl of Kent
whom he only knew as a servant and his
fool who was faithful to him
Goneril told her father plainly that his
knights only served to fill her court
with riot and feasting and so she begged
him only to keep a few old men about him
such as himself might rain our men who
know all parts of duty said Lear Goneril
I will not trouble you further yet I
have left another daughter and his
horses being saddled he set out with his
followers for the castle of Regan but
she who had formerly outdone her sister
in professions of attachment to the King
now seemed to outdo her in undutiful
conduct saying that fifty knights were
too many to wait on him and Goneril who
had hurried thither to prevent Regan's
showing any kindness to the old King
said five were too many since her
servants could wait on him then when
Lear saw what they really wanted was to
drive him away he left them it was a
wild and stormy night and he wandered
about the heath half mad with misery and
with no companion but the poor fool but
presently his servant the good Earl of
Kent met him and at last persuaded him
to lie down in a wretched little hovel
at daybreak the Earl of Kent removed his
royal master to Dover and hurried to the
court of France to tell Cornelia what
had happened
Cordelia's husband gave her an army and
with it she landed at Dover he or she
found poor King Lear wandering about the
fields wearing a crown of Ned
and weeds they brought him back and fed
him and clothed him and Cordelia came to
him and kissed him you must bear with me
said leer forget and forgive I am old
and foolish and now he knew at last
which of his children it was that had
loved him best and who was worthy of his
love
Goneril and Regan joined their armies to
fight Cordelia's army and were
successful and Cordelia and her father
were thrown into prison then goneril's
husband the Duke of Albany who was a
good man and had not known how wicked
his wife was heard the truth of the
whole story
and when Goneril found out that her
husband knew her for the wicked woman
she was she killed herself having a
little time before given a deadly poison
to her sister Regan out of a spirit of
jealousy but they had arranged that
Cordelia should be hanged in prison and
though the Duke of Albany sent
messengers at once it was too late the
old king came staggering into the tent
of the Duke of Albany carrying the body
of his dear daughter Cordelia in his
arms and soon after with words of love
for her upon his lips he fell with her
still in his arms and died and if King
Lear

李尔王李尔王年迈而疲倦，
他厌倦了王国的事务
，只想
在他的三个女儿身边安静地结束他的日子，
他的两个女儿嫁给
了康沃尔的奥尔巴尼公爵和
勃艮第公爵 法国国王
都是科迪莉亚之手的追求者，
他的小女儿李尔召集了他的
三个女儿，并告诉
她们他提议将他的王国分给
她们，但首先说他我
想知道你有多爱我
戈纳里尔是真的 一个非常邪恶的
女人，根本不爱她的父亲，
她说她爱他胜过言语可以
说她爱他胜过视力
空间或自由胜过生命恩典
健康美丽和荣誉我爱你，
就像我的妹妹一样，更自称
里根 因为除了我
父亲的爱我什么
都不关心 我的王国我
为你保留了什么你能说什么我的
主回答科迪莉亚
什么都不会发生什么
又说国王和科迪莉亚回答说我
按照我的职责爱你的陛下
不多
不少她这么说是因为她很
反感 就像她的
姐妹们在
对他们的老父亲甚至没有正确的
责任感时表达爱的方式，我
是你的女儿 适合 服从你
爱你 最尊敬你 李尔 最爱科迪莉亚的人
曾希望她做出
比她的姐妹们更奢侈的爱情表白 他说
永远是我心中的陌生人，而
我是肯特伯爵李尔最喜欢的
朝臣和船长之一 想
为科迪莉亚说一句话，但李尔
不听，他将王国分给
了高纳里尔和里根，并告诉
他们他应该只保留一百名
骑士，并与他的女儿们一起生活
轮流当
勃艮第公爵知道科迪莉亚将
没有王国的份额时，他放弃了
对她的求爱，但法国国王
就是原因，
并说没有眼睛的女儿国王
是我们的王后，我们的
好朋友带走了她 国王说
，我再也见不到她的那张脸了
，所以科迪莉亚成为了法国的王后，
肯特伯爵因为
冒险参与她的角色而被驱逐出
王国，国王现在去和
他的女儿戈纳里尔住在一起。
从她父亲那里得到了他必须
给予的一切，现在甚至开始怨恨
他为自己保留的一百个骑士
肯特伯爵
被放逐时，他好像
要去另一个国家，但他
伪装成仆人回来
并为国王服务。国王
现在有两个朋友伯爵
他只认识肯特的仆人和
对他忠诚的傻瓜
高纳瑞尔直截了当地告诉她的父亲，他的
骑士只是为了让她的宫廷
充满骚乱和宴会，所以她请求
他只让几个老人在他身边
因为他自己可能会下雨我们那些
知道所有职责的人说李尔·戈纳里尔
我不会再麻烦你了但我
已经留下了另一个女儿和他的
马背着他和他的
追随者出发去里根城堡但
她以前比她
对国王表示依恋的妹妹
现在似乎在不负责任的行为上超过了她，
说五十个骑士
太多了，不能伺候他，而
为了阻止里根
对老国王表现出任何善意而匆匆赶到那里的戈纳里尔
说五个骑士太多了，因为她
仆人们可以伺候他，当
李尔看到他们真正想要的是把
他赶走时，他离开了他们，那是一个
狂野而暴风雨的夜晚，他
在荒野中徘徊，痛苦而疯狂。
o 同伴，但可怜的傻瓜，但
不久他的仆人肯特伯爵好心的
遇到了他，最后说服他
在黎明时分躺在一间可怜的小屋里
。
告诉科妮莉亚
发生了什么事，
科迪莉亚的丈夫给了她一支军队
，她带着军队降落在多佛，他或她
发现可怜的李尔王
戴着奈德王冠在田野
里游荡，他们把他带回来，喂饱
他，给他穿衣服，科迪莉亚来到
他吻了他，你必须忍受我
说，忘记并原谅我又老
又傻，现在他终于知道他的
哪个孩子
最爱他，谁值得他的
爱
高纳里尔和里根加入他们的军队
与科迪莉亚的军队作战并
取得了成功，科迪莉亚和她的父亲
被关进了监狱，然后戈瑞尔的
丈夫奥尔巴尼公爵是个
好人，他不知道
他的妻子有多邪恶，听说了真相
整个故事
，当高纳里尔发现她的
丈夫知道她是个邪恶的女人
时，她有一点时间自杀了，
然后
出于嫉妒的精神给了她姐姐里根一种致命的毒药，
但他们已经安排好
科迪莉亚应该被绞死
尽管奥尔巴尼公爵立即派了
使者，但为时已晚，
老国王摇摇晃晃地走进
奥尔巴尼公爵的帐篷，
怀里抱着他亲爱的女儿科迪莉亚的尸体
，不久之后，
他对她说了几句爱她的话。 他的嘴唇在她
仍然在他的怀里跌倒并死了，如果
李尔王
