As if we were Gods spies

Lear.

No, no, no, no: come let's away to prison,
We two alone will sing like Birds i'th' Cage:

When thou dost aske me blessing, Ile kneele downe
And aske of thee forgiuenesse:

So wee'l liue,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded Butterflies:

and heere (poore Rogues)
Talke of Court newes, and wee'l talke with them too,
Who looses, and who wins; who's in, who's out;

And take vpon's the mystery of things,
As if we were Gods spies: And wee'l weare out
In a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones,
That ebbe and flow by th' Moone’
