Gon. Farewell sweet Lord, and Sister. |
Exit |
Corn. Edmund farewell: go seek the Traitor Gloster, |
Pinnion him like a Theefe, bring him before vs: |
Though well we may not passe vpon his life |
Without the forme of Iustice: yet our power |
Shall do a curt'sie to our wrath, which men |
May blame, but not comptroll. |
Enter Gloucester, and Seruants. |
Who's there? the Traitor? |
Reg. Ingratefull Fox, 'tis he |
Corn. Binde fast his corky armes |
Glou. What meanes your Graces? |
Good my Friends consider you are my Ghests: |
Do me no foule play, Friends |
Corn. Binde him I say |
Reg. Hard, hard: O filthy Traitor |
Glou. Vnmercifull Lady, as you are, I'me none |
Corn. To this Chaire binde him, |
Villaine, thou shalt finde |
Glou. By the kinde Gods, 'tis most ignobly done |
To plucke me by the Beard |
Reg. So white, and such a Traitor? |
Glou. Naughty Ladie, |
These haires which thou dost rauish from my chin |
Will quicken and accuse thee. I am your Host, |
With Robbers hands, my hospitable fauours |
You should not ruffle thus. What will you do? |
Corn. Come Sir. |
What Letters had you late from France? |
Reg. Be simple answer'd, for we know the truth |
Corn. And what confederacie haue you with the Traitors, |
late footed in the Kingdome? |
Reg. To whose hands |
You haue sent the Lunaticke King: Speake |
Glou. I haue a Letter guessingly set downe |
Which came from one that's of a newtrall heart, |
And not from one oppos'd |
Corn. Cunning |
Reg. And false |
Corn. Where hast thou sent the King? |
Glou. To Douer |
Reg. Wherefore to Douer? |
Was't thou not charg'd at perill |
Corn. Wherefore to Douer? Let him answer that |
Glou. I am tyed to'th' Stake, |
And I must stand the Course |
Reg. Wherefore to Douer? |
Glou. Because I would not see thy cruell Nailes |
Plucke out his poore old eyes: nor thy fierce Sister, |
In his Annointed flesh, sticke boarish phangs. |
The Sea, with such a storme as his bare head, |
In Hell-blacke-night indur'd, would haue buoy'd vp |
And quench'd the Stelled fires: |
Yet poore old heart, he holpe the Heauens to raine. |
If Wolues had at thy Gate howl'd that sterne time, |
Thou should'st haue said, good Porter turne the Key: |
All Cruels else subscribe: but I shall see |
The winged Vengeance ouertake such Children |
Corn. See't shalt thou neuer. Fellowes hold y Chaire, |
Vpon these eyes of thine, Ile set my foote |
Glou. He that will thinke to liue, till he be old, |
Giue me some helpe. - O cruell! O you Gods |
Reg. One side will mocke another: Th' other too |
Corn. If you see vengeance |
Seru. Hold your hand, my Lord: |
I haue seru'd you euer since I was a Childe: |
But better seruice haue I neuer done you, |
Then now to bid you hold |
Reg. How now, you dogge? |
Ser. If you did weare a beard vpon your chin, |
I'ld shake it on this quarrell. What do you meane? |
Corn. My Villaine? |
