(오스왈드 다시 등장) 오 그래, 너, 바로 너 말이다. 이리 오너라. 내가 누구냐? 오스왈드 제 마님의 부친이시죠. 리어 “제 마님의 부친입니다?” 못된 놈, 천한 개 후레자식, 노예 자식, 똥개 같은 놈아! 오스왈드 죄송합니다만, 폐하, 저는 그런 자가 아닙니다. 리어 이놈이 지금 감히 나를 노려보는 것이냐? (오스왈드를 때린다) 오스왈드 폐하, 더 이상 맞지는 않겠습니다. 켄트 (오스왈드의 발을 걸어 넘어뜨린다) 아니면 넘어지겠지, 공이나 차는 이 비천한 놈아. 리어 자네, 고맙군. 나를 섬기니 자네를 잘 대해줘야겠어. 켄트 자, 일어나 꺼져 버려! 상전을 어떻게 모셔야 하는지 가르쳐주겠 다. 어서 꺼져버리라니까! 다시 한 번 내 발에 걸려 바닥에 누워 있고 싶다면, 여기 있던지. 아니면 꺼져버리라고, 어서. 이제 알 아들었나? 그래, 그래야지! (오스왈드를 밀쳐낸다) 리어 자, 이제 내 친절한 하인이 되었군. 고맙네. 이건 선금이야. (켄트 에게 돈을 준다)
