My lord. Because I help you best in going.

Our hearts would rush together, and the pain

Grows in them baffled. Dearer than life, good night.

I leave my prayers like candles set about you,

And as they fail think of me on my knees

Renewing them from Heaven. [Exit, right]

Kent. Margaret!

[Pauses, slowly takes up the light and goes off, left, leaving the room in darkness. Curtain]


Scene 2. The same room in darkness. Margaret enters, right, carrying a taper.
