"Goneril: What need you five-and-twenty? Ten? Or five? To follow in a house where twice so many Have a command to tend you? Regan: What need one? Lear: O, reason not the need: our basest beggars Are in the poorest thing superfluous: Allow not nature more than nature needs, Man’s life is cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady; If only to go warm were gorgeous, ... But, for true need,— You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!"
