Not bolds the king, with others, whom, I fear,
Most just and heavy causes make oppose.

Edmund. Sir, you speak nobly.

Edmund. I shall attend you presently at your tent.

(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.

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,

Shunn'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.

Edgar. Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise Follow'd his enemy king, and did him service.

Improper for a slave.
