Quote 54

"A man may see how this world goes with no eyes...
Hark, in thine ear: change places, and, handy-dandy,
which is the justice, which is the thief?....
Through tatter'd clothes small vices do appear;
Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks;
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it..."

(Act IV, Scene 6)
Albany
Edgar
Gloucester
The Fool
Lear
