| Did your letters pierce the queen to any demonstration of grief? | Did your letters provoke an emotional response from the queen? |
| Sisters! Sisters! Shame of ladies! Sisters! | Sisters! Sisters! Shame on you! |
| A sovereign shame so elbows him. His own unkindness that stripped her from his benediction turned her to foreign casualties, gave her dear rights to his dog-hearted daughters. These things sting his mind so venomously that burning shame detains him from Cordelia. | He’s too overwhelmed with shame. He remembers how unkind he was to her, how he disowned her and sent her abroad, how he gave her rightful inheritance to her two dog-hearted sisters. All those memories pain his mind so deeply that guilt and shame keep him away from Cordelia. |
