Here are all of the speeches where disquantity shows up across the corpus:

King Lear


This admiration , sir , is much o’ th’ savor
Of other your new pranks . I do beseech you
To understand my purposes aright .
As you are old and reverend , should be wise .
Here do you keep a hundred knights and squires ,
Men so disordered , so debauched and bold ,
That this our court , infected with their manners ,
Shows like a riotous inn . Epicurism and lust
Makes it more like a tavern or a brothel
Than a graced palace . The shame itself doth speak
For instant remedy . Be then desired ,
By her that else will take the thing she begs ,
A little to disquantity your train ,
And the remainders that shall still depend
To be such men as may besort your age ,
Which know themselves and you .
