- KING LEAR. 5
Cord. Alas! what would the wretched Edgar, with
The more unfortunate Cordelia?
Who, in obedience to a father's will,
Flies from her Edgar's arms to Burgundy's.
(A Flourish sounds and continues until the Scene changes.)
[Exeunt; Cordelia, r.h., and Edgar, l.h.]
SCENE II.—A Room of State in the Palace.
(Flourish of Drums and Trumpets, r.h.)
KING LEAR upon his Throne, ALBANY, CORNWALL, BURGUNDY, KENT, GLOSTER, GONERIL, REGAN, CORDELIA, Captain of the Guard, three Knights, two Pages, two Gentlemen with the Map, two Gentlemen with the Crown, Physician, Herald, Banners and Guards, Lords, Ladies, &c., &c., discovered.
Lear. Attend, my lords of Albany and Cornwall,
With princely Burgundy.
Alb. We do, my liege.
Lear. Give me the map.—(The Gentlemen who hold the Map, l.h., advance a little, and unroll it.)—Know, lords, we have divided,
In three our kingdom, having now resolv'd
To disengage from our long toil of state,
Conferring all upon your younger years.
You, Burgundy, Cornwall, and Albany,
Long in our court have made your amorous sojourn,
And now are to be answered.—Tell me, my daughters,
Which of you loves us most, that we may place
Our largest bounty with the largest merit.
Goneril, our eldest born, speak first.
Gon. Sir, I do love you more than words can utter,
Beyond what can be valu'd rich or rare;
Nor liberty, nor sight, health, fame, or beauty,
Are half so dear; my life for you were vile;
As much as child can love the best of fathers.
Lear. Of all these bounds, e'en from this line to this,
With shady forests, and wide skirted meads,
We make thee lady; to thine and Albany's issue
