Abandoned to a raging storm,in act 3, scene 2, Lear speaks these memorable lines:

Let the great gods,
That keep this dreadful pudder o’er our heads,
Find out their enemies now. Tremble thou wretch,
That hast within thee undivulgèd crimes,
Unwhipped of justice. Hide thee, thou bloody hand –
Thou perjured – and thou simular man of virtue
That art incestuous. Caitiff, to pieces shake,
That under covert and convenient seeming
Hast practiced on man’s life. Close pent-up guilts,
Rive your concealing continents, and cry
These dreadful summoners grace. I am a man
More sinned against than sinning.
