LEAR.
Do not abuse me.
PHYSICIAN.
Be comforted, good madam, the great rage,
You see, is kill’d in him: and yet it is danger
To make him even o’er the time he has lost.
Desire him to go in; trouble him no more
Till further settling.
CORDELIA.
Will’t please your highness walk?
LEAR.
You must bear with me:
Pray you now, forget and forgive: I am old and foolish.
[Exeunt Lear, Cordelia, Physician and Attendants.]
GENTLEMAN.
Holds it true, sir, that the Duke of Cornwall was so slain?

Most certain, sir.

Who is conductor of his people?
KENT.
As ’tis said, the bastard son of Gloucester.
GENTLEMAN.
They say Edgar, his banished son, is with the Earl of Kent in Germany.
