King Lear says it to Gloucester. Ironically, it IS the son borne out of wedlock that leads to Gloucester's death, so in a very real sense he DOES end up dying for adultery.
Lear went over my head. I was duly impressed with MacBeth as an exposition on treachery and its limits as statecraft. But, Lear was simply a whoosh, a blur, and a missed reference. Jeez, I hope the wren doesn't over hear this conversation. I'm embarassed enough as it is.

Wait! Othello?
