Lear. He's a good fellow,

I can tell you

that

t;

He'll strike, and quickly too: he's dead and rotten.
Kent. No, my good lord; I am the very man;-
Lear. I'll see that straight.

Kent. That, from your first of difference and decay, Have followed your sad steps;

Lear.

You are welcome hither.

Kent. Nor no man else; all 's cheerless, dark, and

deadly.

Your eldest daughters have fordone themselves,

And desperately are dead.

Lear.

Ay, so I think.

Alb. He knows not what he says; and vain it is

That we present us to him.

Edg.

Very bootless.

Enter an Officer.

That's but a trifle here.

Off. Edmund is dead, my lord.

Alb.

You lords and noble friends, know our intent.

What comfort to this great decay may come
Shall be applied for us, we will resign,

During the life of this old majesty,

To him our absolute power :-you, to your rights;

[To EDGAR and KENT.

With boot, and such addition as your honours

Have more than merited.-All friends shall taste

The wages of their virtue, and all foes

The cup of their deservings -O, see, see!

Lear. And my poor fool1 is hanged! No, no, no life! Why should a dog, a horse, a rat have life,

1 Poor fool.] An affecting term of endearment applied in frenzy to Cordelia.

And thou no breath at all? Thou 'lt come no more,
Never, never, never, never, never!—

Pray you undo this button: thank you, sir.

Do you see this? Look on her-look—her lips—
Look there, look there!

Edg.

[He dies.

He faints! My lord, my lordfaints!-My

Kent. Break, heart, I prithee, break!

Edg.

Look up, my lord.

Kent. Vex not his ghost: O, let him pass! he hates him

That would upon the rack of this tough world

Stretch him out longer.

Edg.

He is gone, indeed.

Kent. The wonder is he hath endured so long: He but usurped his life.

Alb. Bear them from hence.-Our present business Is general woe. Friends of my soul, you twain

[TO KENT and Edgar,
Rule in this realm, and the gored state sustain.
Kent. I have a journey, sir, shortly to go;
My master calls me,-I must not say, no.

Alb. The weight of this sad time we must obey;
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
The oldest hath borne most: we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.

[Exeunt, with a dead march.
