Glou. Come, come, away. 100
[Exeunt all but Edgar.[3894]
Edg. When we our betters see bearing our woes,[3895][3896]
We scarcely think our miseries our foes.[3895][3896]
Who alone suffers suffers most i' the mind,[3895][3897]
Leaving free things and happy shows behind:[3895]
But then the mind much sufferance doth o'erskip,[3895][3898] 105
When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.[3895]
How light and portable my pain seems now,[3895]
When that which makes me bend makes the king bow,[3895]
He childed as I father'd! Tom, away![3895][3899]
Mark the high noises, and thyself bewray[3895][3900] 110
When false opinion, whose wrong thought defiles thee,[3895][3901]
In thy just proof repeals and reconciles thee.[3895]
What will hap more to-night, safe 'scape the king![3895][3902]
Lurk, lurk. [Exit.[3895][3903]
Scene VII. Gloucester's castle.
Enter Cornwall, Regan, Goneril, Edmund, and Servants.[3904]
Corn. Post speedily to my lord your husband; show[3905]
him this letter: the army of France is landed. Seek out the[3905]
traitor Gloucester. [Exeunt some of the Servants.[3905][3906]
Reg. Hang him instantly.
Gon. Pluck out his eyes. 5
Corn. Leave him to my displeasure. Edmund, keep[3907][3908]
you our sister company: the revenges we are bound to take[3907][3909]
upon your traitorous father are not fit for your beholding.[3907]
Advise the duke, where you are going, to a most festinate[3907][3910]
preparation: we are bound to the like. Our posts shall be[3907][3911][3912] 10
swift and intelligent betwixt us. Farewell, dear sister:[3911][3913]
farewell, my lord of Gloucester.[3911]
