Q.98 UGC NET English September 2020

Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow

And the creature run from the cur?
There thou mightst behold the great image of authority: a dog’s obeyed in office, —
Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back;
Thou hotly lust’st to use her in that kind for which thou whipp’st her. The usurer hangs the cozener.
Through tatter’d clothes small vices do appear;
Robes and fiord gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; Arm it in rags, a pigmy’s straw cloth pierce it.

-King Lear
