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)

OMG you are asking who wrote King Lear?! Oh save my sweet soul. The author is Shakespear.
sorry this was in reply of the previous person's answer

Here Edgar is talking to Gloucester after they climbed on to a cliff that faces to ocean. Edgar was describing how scary it is to look down; the birds that flying in the mid-sky and looking for the little food there is. The worker who gathers samphire are dumb to be in the business for the business is not good. The fishermen look like the size of mice at where Edgar and Gloucester are standing. The large anchoring ship looks so small it seems about to disappear. Standing so high the two cannot hear the sounds from ocean surge. I can't look any longer or I will fall off the cliff with my head down first.
