Corn. How now, my noble friend! since I came hither,[3076][3127]
Which I can call but now, I have heard strange news.[3076][3128]
Reg. If it be true, all vengeance comes too short[3076]
Which can pursue the offender. How dost, my lord?[3076][3129]
Glou. O, madam, my old heart is crack'd, is crack'd![3076][3130] 90
Reg. What, did my father's godson seek your life?[3076]
He whom my father named? your Edgar?[3076][3131]
Glou. O, lady, lady, shame would have it hid![3076][3132]
Reg. Was he not companion with the riotous knights[3076][3133]
That tend upon my father?[3076][3134] 95
Glou. I know not, madam: 'tis too bad, too bad.[3076][3135]
Edm. Yes, madam, he was of that consort.[3076][3136]
Reg. No marvel then, though he were ill affected:
'Tis they have put him on the old man's death,
To have the waste and spoil of his revenues.[3137] 100
I have this present evening from my sister
Been well inform'd of them, and with such cautions
That if they come to sojourn at my house,[3138]
I'll not be there.[3138]
Corn. Nor I, assure thee, Regan.[3139][3140]
Edmund, I hear that you have shown your father[3139][3141] 105
A child-like office.[3139]
