SCENE XI. The Duke of Albany's Palace. Enter Gonerill, and Steward.

Gon.
Did my father strike my gentleman for chiding of his fool?

Stew.
Ay, madam.

Gon.
By day and night he wrongs me; every hour
He flashes into one gross crime or other,
That sets us all at odds; I'll not endure it;
His Knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us
On ev'ry trifle. When he returns from hunting,
I will not speak with him, say I am sick.
If you come slack of former services,
You shall do well, the fault of it I'll answer.

Stew.
He's coming, madam, I hear him.

Gon.
Put on what weary negligence you please,
You and your fellows: I'd have it come to question:
If he distaste it, let him to my sister,
Whose mind and mine I know in that are one.
Remember what I have said.

Stew.

Well, madam.

Gon.

And let his Knights have colder looks among you: what grows of it no matter, advise your fellows so, I'll write strait to my sister to hold my course: prepare for dinner.

[Exeunt.
