KING LEAR.
You are yourself a father, and may feel
The sting of disobedience from a son
First-born and best-belov'd.—O, villain Edgar!
Kent. Be not too rash; all may be forgery,
And time yet clear the duty of your son.
Glost. Plead with the seas, and reason down the winds,
Yet shalt thou ne'er convince me: I have seen
His foul designs through all a father's fondness.
Edm. It works as I could wish; I'll shew myself.
(Aside, Advances.)
Glost. Ha, (Crosses to Edmund, R.H.) Edmund! welcome, boy.—O Kent! see here
Inverted nature, Gloster's shame and glory:
This bye-born, the wild sally of my youth,
Pursues me with all filial offices;
Whilst Edgar, begged of heaven, and born in honor,
Draws plagues upon my head, that urge me still
To curse in age the pleasure of my youth.
Nay, weep not, Edmund, for thy brother's crimes.
O gen'rous boy! thou shar'st but half his blood,
Yet lov'st beyond the kindness of a brother;
But I'll reward thy virtue. Follow me.
My lord, you wait the king, who comes resolv'd
To quit the toils of empire, and divide
His realms amongst his daughters. Heaven succeed it!
But much I fear the change.
Kent. I grieve to see him
With such wild starts of passion hourly seiz'd,
As render majesty beneath itself.
Glost. Alas! 'tis the infirmity of his age:
Yet has his temper ever been unfixt,
Chol'ric, and sudden.
(Flourish of Trumpets and Drums, R.H.)
Hark, they approach.
[Flourish.—Exeunt, R.H.
Enter CORDELIA, L.H. EDGAR, following.
Edg. Cordelia, royal fair, turn yet once more,
And, ere successful Burgundy receive
The treasure of thy beauties from the king,
Ere happy Burgundy for ever fold thee,
Cast back one pitying look on wretched Edgar.
