A Trio of Tragedies:<br />

MacBeth, Hamlet &<br />

King Lear<br />

by<br />

William Shakespeare<br />

I’ll speak a prophecy ere I go:--<br />

When priests are more in word than matter;<br />

When brewers mar their malt with water;<br />

When nobles are their tailors’ tutors;<br />

No heretics burn’d, but wenches’ suitors;<br />

When every case in law is right;<br />

No squire in debt nor no poor knight;<br />

When slanders do not live in tongues;<br />

Nor cutpurses come not to throngs;<br />

When usurers tell their gold i’ the field;<br />

And bawds and whores do churches build;--<br />

Then shall the realm of Albion<br />

Come to great confusion:<br />

Then comes the time, who lives to see’t,<br />

That going shall be us’d with feet.<br />

<strong>This</strong> prophecy Merlin shall make; for I live before his time.<br />

[Exit.]<br />

Scene III. A Room in Gloster’s Castle.<br />

[Enter Gloucester and Edmund.]<br />

GLOUCESTER.<br />
