Not bolds the king, with others, whom, I fear,
Most just and heavy causes make oppose.
Edmund. Sir, you speak nobly.

XXXIV

(V. 1: 23) Edmund. I shall attend you presently at your tent.

XXXV

(V. 3: 38) As I have set it down.

Captain. I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; If 't be man's work, I'll do ’t.

XXXVI

(V. 3: 45) To some retention and appointed guard;

XXXVII

(V. 3: 52) Where you shall hold your session. At this time We sweat and bleed; the friend hath lost his friend; And the best quarrels, in the heat, are cursed By those that feel their sharpness. The question of Cordelia and her father Requires a fitter place.

XXXVIII

(V. 3: 94) Edmund.

A herald, lo, a herald ! XXXIX

(V. 3: 100) Captain. Sound trumpet!

XL

(V. 3: 105) Edmund. Sound!

XLI

(V. 3: 196) Edgar. This would have seem'd a period

ܪ.

To such as love not sorrow; but another,
To amplify too much, would make much more,
And top extremity.
Whilst I was big in clamour, came there in a man,
Who, having seen me in my worst estate,
Shunu'd my abhorr'd society; but then, finding
Who't was that so endured with his strong arms
He fasten'd on my neck, and bellow'd out
As he ’ld burst heaven; threw him on my father;
Told the most piteous tale of Lear and him
That ever ear received; which in recounting
His grief grew puissant, and the strings of life
Began to crack. Twice then the trumpets sounded,
And there I left him tranced.
Albany.

But who was this?
Edgar. Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise
Follow'd his enemy king, and did him service
Improper for a slave.
