Can someone PLEASE translate this to modern english??? Best answer gets 10 points!!! Heres the passage:
Come on, sir, here's the place. Stand still. How fearful And dizzy 'tis to cast one's eyes so low. The crows and choughs that wing the midway air Show scarce so gross as beetles. Half-way down Hangs one that gathers samphire, dreadful trade! Methinks he seems no bigger than his head. The fishermen that walk upon the beach Appear like mice, and yon tall anchoring barque Diminished to her c'ock; her c'ock, a buoy Almost too small for sight. The murmuring surge, That on th'unnumbered idle pebble chafes, Cannot be heard so high. I'll look no more, Lest my brain turn and the deficient sight Topple down head long. (4.5.II-24 King Lear)
