Approach, thou beacon to this under globe,

That by thy comfortable beams I may

Peruse this letter!—'Nothing almost sees miracles'—

'But misery'—I know 'tis from Cordelia,

Who hath 'most fortunately been inform'd'

Of my 'obscured course, and shall find time

From this enormous state'—'seeking to give

Losses their remedies,' &c.

I.e. Cordelia promises she will find leisure from the oppressive cares of her new kingdom to remedy the evils of England. Kent gives up the attempt to read; but enough has been brought out for the dramatist's purpose at that particular stage, viz. to hint that Kent was in correspondence with Cordelia, and looked to her as the deliverer of England.
