Tom, away! Mark the high noises; and thyself bewray, When false opinion, whose wrong thought defiles thee, In thy just proof, repeals and reconciles thee. Lurk, lurk. Seek out the villain Gloucester. Edmund, keep you our sister company: the revenges we are bound to take upon your traitorous father are not fit for your beholding. Advise the duke, where you are going, to a most festinate preparation: we are bound to the like.

Our posts shall be swift and intelligent betwixt us. Farewell, dear sister: farewell, my lord of Gloucester. Exeunt other Servants Though well we may not pass upon his life Without the form of justice, yet our power Shall do a courtesy to our wrath, which men May blame, but not control.

Good my friends, consider You are my guests: do me no foul play, friends. O filthy traitor! What will you do? Let him first answer that. Fellows, hold the chair. O cruel! O you gods! What do you mean? They draw and fight First Servant Nay, then, come on, and take the chance of anger.

A peasant stand up thus! Takes a sword, and runs at him behind First Servant O, I am slain! My lord, you have one eye left To see some mischief on him. Out, vile jelly! Where is thy lustre now? Edmund, enkindle all the sparks of nature, To quit this horrid act. Kind gods, forgive me that, and prosper him!

Turn out that eyeless villain; throw this slave Upon the dunghill. Regan, I bleed apace: Untimely comes this hurt: give me your arm. Third Servant If she live long, And in the end meet the old course of death, Women will all turn monsters. Now, heaven help him! To be worst, The lowest and most dejected thing of fortune, Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear: The lamentable change is from the best; The worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then, Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace!

The wretch that thou hast blown unto the worst Owes nothing to thy blasts. But who comes here? World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee, Lie would not yield to age. Old Man Alack, sir, you cannot see your way. Old Man How now! Old Man Tis poor mad Tom. Old Man Madman and beggar too. As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport.

Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow, Angering itself and others. Old Man Ay, my lord. Old Man Alack, sir, he is mad. Do as I bid thee, or rather do thy pleasure; Above the rest, be gone. Aside I cannot daub it further. So, bless thee, master! Let the superfluous and lust-dieted man, That slaves your ordinance, that will not see Because he doth not feel, feel your power quickly; So distribution should undo excess, And each man have enough.

Dost thou know Dover? Our wishes on the way May prove effects. Wear this; spare speech; Giving a favour Decline your head: this kiss, if it durst speak, Would stretch thy spirits up into the air: Conceive, and fare thee well. You are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in your face. What have you done? Could my good brother suffer you to do it? A man, a prince, by him so benefited! If that the heavens do not their visible spirits Send quickly down to tame these vile offences, It will come, Humanity must perforce prey on itself, Like monsters of the deep.

Proper deformity seems not in the fiend So horrid as in woman. But, O poor Gloucester! Lost he his other eye? Messenger Both, both, my lord. This letter, madam, craves a speedy answer; Tis from your sister. Messenger Come with my lady hither. Messenger No, my good lord; I met him back again. Gentleman Something he left imperfect in the state, which since his coming forth is thought of; which imports to the kingdom so much fear and danger, that his personal return was most required and necessary.

KENT Who hath he left behind him general? KENT Did your letters pierce the queen to any demonstration of grief? KENT O, then it moved her. Gentleman Not to a rage: patience and sorrow strove Who should express her goodliest. In brief, Sorrow would be a rarity most beloved, If all could so become it.

KENT Made she no verbal question? Shame of ladies! Let pity not be believed! You spoke not with her since? Gentleman No.

Gentleman No, since. Gentleman Why, good sir? Gentleman Alack, poor gentleman! Gentleman Tis so, they are afoot. I pray you, go Along with me. A century send forth; Search every acre in the high-grown field, And bring him to our eye. He that helps him take all my outward worth. Doctor There is means, madam: Our foster-nurse of nature is repose, The which he lacks; that to provoke in him, Are many simples operative, whose power Will close the eye of anguish.

O dear father, It is thy business that I go about; Therefore great France My mourning and important tears hath pitied. Might not you Transport her purposes by word? I know you are of her bosom. If you do find him, pray you, give him this; And when your mistress hears thus much from you, I pray, desire her call her wisdom to her. So, fare you well. If you do chance to hear of that blind traitor, Preferment falls on him that cuts him off.

I should show What party I do follow. Hark, do you hear the sea? The crows and choughs that wing the midway air Show scarce so gross as beetles: half way down Hangs one that gathers samphire, dreadful trade! Go thou farther off; Bid me farewell, and let me hear thee going.

This world I do renounce, and, in your sights, Shake patiently my great affliction off: If I could bear it longer, and not fall To quarrel with your great opposeless wills, My snuff and loathed part of nature should Burn itself out.

If Edgar live, O, bless him! Now, fellow, fare thee well. And yet I know not how conceit may rob The treasury of life, when life itself Yields to the theft: had he been where he thought, By this, had thought been past. Alive or dead? Ho, you sir! Hear you, sir! Thus might he pass indeed: yet he revives. What are you, sir? Speak yet again.

Look up a-height; the shrill-gorged lark so far Cannot be seen or heard: do but look up. Is wretchedness deprived that benefit, To end itself by death? Feel you your legs?

You stand. Look, look, a mouse! Bring up the brown bills. O, well flown, bird! Give the word. Goneril, with a white beard! They flattered me like a dog; and told me I had white hairs in my beard ere the black ones were there. What was thy cause? Thou shalt not die: die for adultery! This great world Shall so wear out to nought. Dost thou know me? Dost thou squiny at me? No, do thy worst, blind Cupid! Read thou this challenge; mark but the penning of it. No eyes in your head, nor no money in your purse?

Your eyes are in a heavy case, your purse in a light; yet you see how this world goes. A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears: see how yond justice rails upon yond simple thief. Hark, in thine ear: change places; and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which is the thief? Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand! Why dost thou lash that whore?

The usurer hangs the cozener. Get thee glass eyes; And like a scurvy politician, seem To see the things thou dost not. Now, now, now, now: Pull off my boots: harder, harder: so. Reason in madness! I will preach to thee: mark. Enter a Gentleman, with Attendants Gentleman O, here he is: lay hand upon him.

What, a prisoner? I am even The natural fool of fortune. Use me well; You shall have ransom. Let me have surgeons; I am cut to the brains. Gentleman You shall have any thing. I will be jovial: come, come; I am a king, My masters, know you that. Gentleman You are a royal one, and we obey you. Nay, if you get it, you shall get it with running. Sa, sa, sa, sa. Exit running; Attendants follow Gentleman A sight most pitiful in the meanest wretch, Past speaking of in a king!

Thou hast one daughter, Who redeems nature from the general curse Which twain have brought her to. Gentleman Most sure and vulgar: every one hears that, Which can distinguish sound. Gentleman Near and on speedy foot; the main descry Stands on the hourly thought.

Gentleman Though that the queen on special cause is here, Her army is moved on. Most happy! That eyeless head of thine was first framed flesh To raise my fortunes. Thou old unhappy traitor, Briefly thyself remember: the sword is out That must destroy thee. Hence; Lest that the infection of his fortune take Like hold on thee. Let go his arm. Reads Let our reciprocal vows be remembered. You have many opportunities to cut him off: if your will want not, time and place will be fruitfully offered.

There is nothing done, if he return the conqueror: then am I the prisoner, and his bed my goal; from the loathed warmth whereof deliver me, and supply the place for your labour. My life will be too short, And every measure fail me. To the Doctor How does the king? Doctor Madam, sleeps still. The untuned and jarring senses, O, wind up Of this child-changed father!

Doctor So please your majesty That we may wake the king: he hath slept long. Gentleman Ay, madam; in the heaviness of his sleep We put fresh garments on him.

Doctor Be by, good madam, when we do awake him; I doubt not of his temperance. Doctor Please you, draw near. Louder the music there! Restoration hang Thy medicine on my lips; and let this kiss Repair those violent harms that my two sisters Have in thy reverence made! KENT Kind and dear princess! Was this a face To be opposed against the warring winds? To stand against the deep dread-bolted thunder?

In the most terrible and nimble stroke Of quick, cross lightning? Alack, alack! Tis wonder that thy life and wits at once Had not concluded all. He wakes; speak to him. How fares your majesty? Where am I? Fair daylight?

I am mightily abused. I know not what to say. Would I were assured Of my condition! Methinks I should know you, and know this man; Yet I am doubtful for I am mainly ignorant What place this is; and all the skill I have Remembers not these garments; nor I know not Where I did lodge last night. I pray, weep not: If you have poison for me, I will drink it. I know you do not love me; for your sisters Have, as I do remember, done me wrong: You have some cause, they have not.

KENT In your own kingdom, sir. Desire him to go in; trouble him no more Till further settling. KENT Most certain, sir. Gentleman Who is conductor of his people?

KENT Report is changeable. Gentleman The arbitrement is like to be bloody. Sir, this I hear; the king is come to his daughter, With others whom the rigor of our state Forced to cry out. Where I could not be honest, I never yet was valiant: for this business, It toucheth us, as France invades our land, Not bolds the king, with others, whom, I fear, Most just and heavy causes make oppose.

If you have victory, let the trumpet sound For him that brought it: wretched though I seem, I can produce a champion that will prove What is avouched there. If you miscarry, Your business of the world hath so an end, And machination ceases. Fortune love you. Here is the guess of their true strength and forces By diligent discovery; but your haste Is now urged on you. Which of them shall I take? As for the mercy Which he intends to Lear and to Cordelia, The battle done, and they within our power, Shall never see his pardon; for my state Stands on me to defend, not to debate.

Alarum within. Men must endure Their going hence, even as their coming hither; Ripeness is all: come on. Shall we not see these daughters and these sisters? Have I caught thee?

He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven, And fire us hence like foxes. Mark, I say, instantly; and carry it so As I have set it down. With him I sent the queen; My reason all the same; and they are ready To-morrow, or at further space, to appear 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. Methinks our pleasure might have been demanded, Ere you had spoke so far. He led our powers; Bore the commission of my place and person; The which immediacy may well stand up, And call itself your brother.

General, Take thou my soldiers, prisoners, patrimony; Dispose of them, of me; the walls are thine: Witness the world, that I create thee here My lord and master. Edmund, I arrest thee On capital treason; and, in thine attaint, This gilded serpent Pointing to Goneril For your claim, fair sister, I bar it in the interest of my wife: Tis she is sub-contracted to this lord, And I, her husband, contradict your bans. If you will marry, make your loves to me, My lady is bespoke.

I will maintain My truth and honour firmly. Captain Sound, trumpet! First trumpet Herald Again! Second trumpet Herald Again! Herald What are you? Your name, your quality? Trumpets, speak! They fight. But what art thou That hast this fortune on me?

The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make instruments to plague us: The dark and vicious place where thee he got Cost him his eyes. How have you known the miseries of your father? That we the pain of death would hourly die Rather than die at once! Twixt two extremes of passion, joy and grief, Burst smilingly. Enter a Gentleman, with a bloody knife Gentleman Help, help, O, help!

The time will not allow the compliment Which very manners urges. Cover their faces. Quickly send, Be brief in it, to the castle; for my writ Is on the life of Lear and on Cordelia: Nay, send in time.
