From King Lear by William Shakespeare

Thou but rememberest me of mine own conception: I have perceived a most faint neglect of late; which I have rather blamed as mine own jealous curiosity than as a very pretence and purpose of unkindness: I will look further into’t. But where’s my fool? I have not seen him this two days. (KNIGHT: Since my young lady’s going into France, sir, the fool hath much pined away.) No more of that; I have noted it well. Go you and tell my daughter I would speak with her. (Exit Attendant.) Go you, call hither my fool. (Exit another Attendant.) Re-enter Oswald. O, you, sir, you, come you hither, sir: who am I, sir? (OSWALD: My lady’s father.) My lady’s father! my lord’s knave: you whoreson dog! you slave! you cur!
