Lear is cruelly treated by his daughters.

Dialogue

Lear: "You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man,
As full of grief as age, wretched in both.
If it be you that stirs these daughters' hearts
Against their father, fool me not so much
To bear it tamely..." (II.iv.274-279)
