Lear:
Thy truth then be thy dower!
For, by the sacred radiance of the sun, The mysteries of Hecate and the night, By all the operation of the orbs
From whom we do exist and cease to be, Here I disclaim all my paternal care, Propinquity and property of blood, And as a stranger to my heart and me Hold thee from this for ever.
(Act One, Scene 1)
