GONERIL
Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter;
Dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty;
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare;
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour;
As much as child e'er loved, or father found;
A love that makes breath poor, and speech unable;
Beyond all manner of so much I love you.
Modern speech:
I love you more than any words could ever say;
Even more than my own eyes, more than the world and more than freedom;
I love you more than jewels can be valued, more than diamonds are rich and rare;
I love you as much as if life was perfect;
No child has ever loved their father as much as I love you;
My love for you is a love which would make breathing needless and make one speechless;
And this is how great my love for you is.
