The words "Sir, I love you..." (Act 1, Scene 1 : 39) are the opening to Goneril's first speech in answer to her father's requestion to know how much his daughters love him so he can divide his kingdom accordingly. The entire speech she give is as follows:
"Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter;
Dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty;
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare;
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour;
As much as child e'er loved, or father found;
A love that makes breath poor, and speech unable;
Beyond all manner of so much I love you."
